Hey, just so you know you can switch the Xterra into and out of 4x4 on the fly. It’s a unit bearing design, so front diff and axles are always rotated and up to speed already. Owner manual states it’s safe to switch under 62mph as long as you aren’t currently breaking traction with rear wheels. You do have to be stopped and in Neutral to go into 4Lo though. Just thought you might like to hear that. It’s not the same as old school hubs.

[@FreeSpiritsDubai]

Thanks Tim! Welcome to our channel ♥️. Yes Xterras and few others have that option, we're just making sure starters dont try it out on the go.

[@pediatrictutoring]

Amazing video! Keep up the awesome work 🤍

ARB makes better tyre deflators which can remove the valve core internally and screw it back after deflation. Its a bit tricky to operate for newbies. If sand driving is all that is required, you can preset some deflators on the market to the required psi, screw them in all four tyres and have a drink. They will be ready in a few minutes. Simply unscrew the deflators and put the cap on. This procedure does not involve removing valve core and so it is a bit slow. But you will never lose a valve core in sand. Hope this helps.

[@FreeSpiritsDubai]

Definitely helps! Thanks. We have few members using these type of deflators. And you are right these are a bit tricky to operate, hence less common.

[@shawntallman6263]

Awesome. I have a 2006 Xterra 4x4. Hello from Waco,Texas.

[@FreeSpiritsDubai]

Hi Shawn. Welcome onboard! Xterra is indeed a great offroad ride 🤘🏼

[@taxidutta102]

Amazing and very professional. Subscribed. Will wait for more videos i am considering buying a 2015 Xterra. What do you suggest?

[@FreeSpiritsDubai]

Thank you. Xterra is a great choice for offroading and onroad quality 👍🏼

[@chrisniner8772]

Driving a white vehicle is especially important in the desert.

[@utkuguney]

Great video!!! Also how to inflate the tires when the day is over. which is the best portable tire inflator?

[@FreeSpiritsDubai]

Thanks Utku ♥️! We normally inflate tyres at the end of our desert driving using Compressor. Some of the reliable brands are ARB, Camel, and Michelin.

[@taxidutta102]

I am based in Abu Dhabi..would love to be part of Free Spiritz.. I have a Prado. Do I need to add a recovery point? I heard the factory recovery point is not suitable for off roading,

[@FreeSpiritsDubai]

Hi. Prado is reliable offroader and we havent heard of any issues on factory tow points. Please send us your contact no through our Insta account and we will add you ♥️
