They run strong but only if you look after them. I have not received mine yet but hopefully in September.Ĭheck into it’s maintenance history and do some as well. Sliders can be made to fit factory bolt patterns. The stock armor is ok but don’t be afraid to add some. It’s a addition but not what I would get first. You don’t usually need one but I’m a solo trip kinda person. I put a winch bumper and a 9500 lbs winch. The lift is Calmini, It’s a good product but takes a very long time to get. I have a PML and currently starting my 3 inch suspension lift next week. Youre looking at THREE MONTHS of progressive training to build your complete fitness base through the off-season. I found it limited the suspension flex up front more than I like. Ive been lurking and stalking on these forums for more than a year researching and planning my Xterra build, long before I even had one. 12-Week (HIGH Volume) Base Builder XTERRA Progression - v3.1 Written by Cody Waite, of Waite EnduranceNEW for 2019 is our latest 12-week Base Builder.
You can do the PML (poor mans lift) but it has downsides. Like others have said I recommend getting rid of the steps. I have a 01 that I’ve put some time into. Don’t get me wrong people will look but not many think about it’s abilities. It is a very capable rig that doesn’t get much attention. These guys know these rigs inside and out.

I'd recommend carrying extra fuel though, as the VG33E is a thirsty engine, and I'm lucky if I can make it 250 highway miles on a full tank of 19.5 gallons.įeel free to ask any questions you might have. Honestly, unless you're doing some seriously rough stuff, that should be about all you need. This should allow you to run 265/75r16s with minimal rubbing.
You can however lift about 1.5 inches just by cranking the torsion bars a bit, and putting some longer shackles on the leaf springs. These rigs are surprisingly capable in stock form. If not, I'd have both of those done (or do them yourself, if you're able). They get hung up on things, and the step bars are thin aluminum, and are known as damage multipliers.Īfter that, I'd try and confirm the water pump and timing belt were serviced at the required intervals (105k). Body armor and what not will be my biggest expenses Just looking to overland and wheel a little and. I've got an 03 myself, and they're a great rig for overlanding.įirst thing I would recommend is ditch the mud flaps and step bars. This will be my build thread for my 02 xterra that as seen in my intro post, was free to me :) My plan is to not get too radical with it, 31's, a tad of lift (PML) and clean it and maintain it.
