Just joined the xterra crew, enjoy your perspective that keeps daily functioning but adds some performance attitude. My intuition tells me that the xterra used market is beginning to climb and with the possible 2023 Xterra coming the older 1 and 2 gens should increase in demand and value. I have an on/off road guy for a really long time, hint I get senior discounts! The more xterras that get some love and are seen out there, the more value they earn.

hey digging the Xterra, I have a first gen and while you might have given me some ideas I might have some ideas for you as well I got a Jerry can mount on one side and a water can mount on the other on the back quarter area, pretty much right at the top of the Plastics. Works really well and as long as your carefull the extra width is negligible unless your crawling I do a lot of tight maneuvers and have had no issues. Also get that tire and hitch taken care of if you do any serious train that extra departure clearance is great.
@AllThingsOverlanding3 жыл бұрын
Welcome to the party! 1st gens are sweet. I agree about the hitch and tire. I'd love to get a rear swingout tire carrier. They're just pricey, :D. I've thought about mounting fuel to the side, but worried about the width and wind noise, etc. I am considering building a detachable unistrut frame that I could basically attach to my DIY roof rack to hang a hot shower or a diesel heater on the truck when at camp, but that's a ways off. Thanks for the tips!

I like the idea of putting the backup camera inside the truck, that’s ingenious. Definitely keeps the camera clean. Also, keeping the hi-lift inside is interesting. I wince every time I look at my hi-lift rusting away on the back of my truck. Not crazy about the traction mats inside. If you use those, they’ll probably be caked with mud. Better to mount those outside somewhere and hope that rain rinses them off vs having all that mud on in the interior. Couldn’t you just mount those to the top of your RTT? Totally agree on the lights in the roof liner, having extra lighting in the back is wonderful. Do you have an aftermarket rearview mirror? That doesn’t look factory. How well do those lights mounted on the hood light up areas left and right? Great video. Thanks for sharing.
@AllThingsOverlanding4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah, good point on the traction mats. I think if they got dirty, I'd probably strap them down under the RTT between the roof and the roof rack crossmembers. In the future, when I upgrade to some better traction mats, I'll probably get the ones that have a storage bag so that I can keep them protected and keep them from making a mess inside the truck. The mirror was a dashcam/rear view mirror. I no longer use the dashcam itself, but I liked the larger mirror so I left it up there. The ditch lights, while cheap do a pretty good job of lighting up both sides of the road at night.

Mine appears to have an led light setup that may power on in reverse wasnt certain if that lighting up would blind the lense against the glass.
