Could have been a useful comparison video if the jeep and/or explorer made the run.

@roadman89NE Check out the vid called "FJ vs Xterra hill climb.wmv"

[JackKangaroo1]

@roadman89NE I pulled up one video on Youtube of a hill climb up a huge dune in the desert of Saudi Arabia. An FJ Cruiser tried three times to get up the hill and failed. Then an X-terra did it on the first try. I think they are both great vehicles but I still think that Nissan has the edge in this competition both on-road and off-road.

@JackKangaroo1 xterra better onroad, fj better off. Not a comparisson to me, just because of the superior power and availability of a-trac on the fj. Gives it the "xtra" advantage that nissan hasn't put into a 4wd system.

[JackKangaroo1]

I love the look of the FJ but the X-terra looks damn nice too. All things considered, I think the X-terra is the superior vehicle. They've got nearly equal cargo capacity but the X-terra has 4 full doors (FJ has "clam shell" doors in rear) and a more powerful engine. Also, some road tests indicate the X-terra has a superior 4-wheel drive system and often makes hill climbs with ease that give the FJ trouble. Plus I just happen to be a fan of Nissan and think Toyota is over-rated.

Runswigger, nobody would buy the thing if it had a solid axle up front, it'd drive as shitty as a jeep then. You uneducated people that think IFS is bad have never been wheeling. Solid is great for hardcore rock crawling but IFS has superior ground clearance and handling. A friend of mine has an Isuzu truck, a 300hp sbc and STOCK IFS and runs 35" Swampers, it hasn't broke yet!

@THEARMEDLIFE o shit ya lol forgot, i was thinking x trail lol apparently it's in the x market too lol my buddy's got a xterra, not a bad ride. if only they would put a solid front axel..... o yeah that's what usually happens when it built up for off-roading.

[THEARMEDLIFE]

if he had better tires he would have made it. i have a Xterra stock on 31's and it always suprizies me on how much it can do with out a lift or lockers
