I love my x, also. After building some serious under body protection, lifting it 2:" and adding 32" off road tires, I tackled two of the difficult rated trails in Moab. Its capabilities surprised me, and this after owning and off-roading a locker equipped 2008 Jeep Wrangler. My only off-road scaries are displayed well in your video here, it's relative lack of wheel travel compared to solid axle vehicles. Still it makes up for it amazingly well with its excellent balance.
Sway bar disconnects, some lift, better line and you prob won't be in that situation again. A spotter can make a difficult trail a lot easier. Always good to run in groups...
hahahahaha. Y'all are dicks but i'm w/ya... you need a lift seriously bad. but even more than that a better drivetrain would be excellent~! haha. really though~ have you actually thought about it? that drivetrain is shit~ axles? oh wait YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A FRONT ONE!?!?& your rear isn't even american 3/4ton rated.... gota think shit through before you do it... all i'm saying you're being a complete fucking idiot trying to make an xterra into a ligit4x4........ GODSPEED YOU POOR BASTARD
If I were you, I'd use the 2011 Ford Explorer Limited Eco Boost with the all new Terrain Management System that can go through cement roads,mud,sand,and snow.
@emadcom33 Wouldn't help him, steering left wouldn't get him out of that rut. You've just got to drive through it very slowly and hope the rut underneath the driver left tire is not deep enough to flop your rig over. Definitely beyond the point of backing up.
@BigWalkinTallV The weight of the truck moved to the left .. the focal became vertically .. What you need is a support spot from the left to redistribute the weight.. the driver was looking for a support spot and he got it.. You can feel it.. imagine the truck as part of your body ..
And certainly driving very slowly .. Speedwill miss the grab and destroy the process ... Thank you for your reply..
I had that happen once in my WD21 but it was a much steeper Incline. I almost Sh*t my pants. I was only like 25 at the time and Inexperienced at best with wheeling. I got my Girlfirend to get out of the car(Reluctantly..lol) and push down as best she could on my rear bumper and I got through it without pissing myself.
The only thing I like on the new Xterras and Pathfinders is the Engines.
It doesn't look like the 2nd gen xterra does very well with the IFS , much to stiff as was shown in this video. Any solid axle truck would've made this same spot look like no big deal.
this might sound like a dumb question but does anyone know if its alright to take an xterra s off road even though it's not the 'off road' model? I have a 2010 and I've actually never taken it off road before (pretty bad, I know)
@cgatti18 hey bro thanks for the complement but as far as your ? goes I may have to confiscate your man card or at least put you on probation. Yes you can take it offroad the one in the video is an S. The difference is the offroad has a lockable rear end for added traction, the other models have limited slip rear ends. So if you have one of your rear wheels slipping taking power away from the other 1 u can lock them together with a locker you lock the rears, LS slips but will catch at some point
@ttimothyp16 oh no no driving on the highway is not healthy for them, its like a tiger in captivity sure they have a good life but they need to run wild.
@4x4NorCal have you seen people with Hummer in the city?? I've seen people even with Xterra or 4x4 (including tires for off-rad) in the city! it fu** the knee!
@Wodenhelm the song title is at the end of the video. I use a lot of music on a open share license (creative commons or CC) from a site called newgrounds, its a place people can post there music and and get peoples opinions. Usually you can use someones music for non $ purpose.
due just got my first xterra. shes an 02 se 4x4 140k on her. love it to death. great condition. just wondering if slight vibrations are normal in idle or in ark runs with a beautiful roar otherwise. just when make sure shes ok you know. thanks.
@deltaalphacharlie I have an '05, '05 and up are different machines. The first gen are great too, lots of mods available just jump on the first .thexterra. org for any questions.
@4x4NorCal yeah man i have a '05 super black one. The chasis is raised 4 inches so it can do some gnarly 4x4 but im not that best at that kind of stuff haha. Ill check out that website to see if they have some things i can add to it.
@Sofar24 2005 Xterra S Limited slip nissan c200, all schrockwork skids and diff cover front and rear bumpers. It works for its purpose in NorCal there is not alot of 4x4 parks, it gets me around the National Park dirt roads and trails
more smooth with the brake and better path would of helped, way too close for comfort
