How to Install an Offroad Bumper | Nissan Xterra

In this video we are installing the Expedition One Trail Series Front Bumper!
If you want this bumper too be sure to check out Expedition One online!

[@roundsm18]

Your video is the reason I learned about and have actually purchased this bumper. I got my Xterra Off-Road new in 2006 and now this many years later I am finally willing to finish the off road build.

[@MrLabYoshi]

Finally a channel about XTerras, keep it up.

[@conheck_offroad]

thanks for the support! Glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@SergeiWhobichakokov]

I really like the bumper and the roof rack. I'm not much into off roading with my '15 Xterra. But they both look pretty sweet.

[@conheck_offroad]

hey thanks for the comment! thanks for the compliments :) definitely recommend trying the off roading even if its a simple trail. so much fun!

[@guadaluperamirez6564]

I have a 2014 Xterra and my prior was a 2004 Xterra. Love your work.

[@conheck_offroad]

Thanks man! Much appreciated 👍🏽😎

[@rodriguezerik1986]

Xterra looking real good 👍

[@conheck_offroad]

Thanks! Appreciate the love 🤙🏽

[@majic5zero]

All right. Great job. I learned quite a bit. I've been considering purchasing a 2nd Gen. Xterra and this gives me some ideas for upgrades and such. Thanks.

[@conheck_offroad]

Absolutely! Glad to help out!

[@stevencurrey-woodworkingre3948]

Loving these videos! I've been looking at the Expedition One roof rack and front bumper for my X. These videos will be extremely helpful in the future.

[@conheck_offroad]

Awesome! That’s why I make the videos. So far I absolutely love both the rack and bumper. Expedition One also has stellar customer service, which in my opinion is really important. 🤙🏽

[@stevencurrey-woodworkingre3948]

@@conheck_offroad Thats awesome bro! Great to hear!

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

Great job and that's nice looking bumper ! Perhaps one day I need to get that for my xterra and make a video )but first I need/want to upgrade all suspension

[@conheck_offroad]

Definitely check out nisstec lifts. They have a bunch of options and all their representatives are super helpful and knowledgeable about lifts. They’ll help you get what you want 🤙🏽

[@dennisfossey4312]

Good job! Will be doing that soon to my Xterra.

[@Nigriff]

Sweet ride!

[@BPlus-oz7cm]

I've got the same bumper and would've loved this video to help with the install. Great channel you've got here, sub'd!

[@conheck_offroad]

That’s great to hear man! Thanks for the sub. Sorry I didn’t have the video out in time for you install

[@FERNANDOOLIVERAS]

Where did you get you bumper can do you please tell me i need one too

[@conheck_offroad]

Expedition One

[@stevenmancuso121]

Question.. looks like you are enjoying your xterra not just making it look nice. I am asking a few xterra owners there opinion on this. My xterra is a 2006, with 235k miles. It runs fantastic and I like it but before I start lifts and bumpers,etc, would you look for a lower mileage one or not necessary?

[@conheck_offroad]

That is really up to you man. If you take good care of it, the xterra will take care of you! The great things about xterras are that if the engine dies, you can easily throw in a v8 from the titan

[@Mall_Crawling_X]

Oof looking good, i need a front bumper now 😑

[@conheck_offroad]

Thanks man! Love mine so far

[@carlos_mata]

Love the looking 👌

[@thekid17david]

Looks wicked! Was thinking about getting one for my Xterra now I'm sold on it. But I do have a question, Is the oil filter accessible with the skid plates on? Or do you have to remove the skid plate when you do an oil change?

[@conheck_offroad]

You will need to remove the skid plate most likely. But it’s not too difficult to remove.

[@joeyshack2964]

love the channel man i’ve been looking for a video on your wheels and tires. if you don’t mind what are you running and did you have to do any trimming or melt mods to get them to fit also is your car at stock height if not what lift kit are you running to get those to fit?

[@conheck_offroad]

I’m running XD wheels 17x9 33” tires Achilles desert hawk M/T. As for cutting. With no spacers a slight trim of the liner was necessary to prevent rubbing. With spacers I had a decent amount of cutting the plastic bumper and I also completely removed the wheel liner. My recommendation would just be to get an off road bumper that will completely illuminate all rubbing. For height I’m running a 3” lift from nisstec lifts

[@justinobservation2455]

Hey buddy, regarding your idea of mounting the hi-lift jack on the bar… in the unlikely event it falls off while you’re driving, a hi-lift jack isn’t something you want to run over, especially at a high speed. Put things you don’t want to run over BEHIND the vehicle. Just in case…

[@conheck_offroad]

Thanks for the recommendation justin! I had it on the front for just short while until I found a new place to mount. I have since moved it to the spare tire carrier in the back. Out of the way and easy to get to at the same time.

[@arzibanez3924]

Wow awesome front bumper, we’re did you buy that boss, my 2006 Nissan Xterra off-road, I want to replace the front bumper pls help me

[@XYoverland]

Any chance you’re doing a run anywhere in GWNF anytime soon? I’m considering this bumper and would love to see it in person. I’m in northern Virginia.

[@conheck_offroad]

Unfortunately I don’t have anything on the schedule as of right now as I’m currently in the Baltimore area. But I highly recommend the bumper. It’s easy to install and provides great protection and improved approach angle. One of the better looking bumpers on the market for the X in my opinion

[@gabrielrodriguez6194]

I have X terra 2005. Can I use this stuff for this car?

[@conheck_offroad]

The bumper should work with any 2nd gen X

[@Turki-997]

[@lord8two212]

Question on your CV's....i noticed the angle on them. Are you or have you experienced any issues with them?

[@conheck_offroad]

Nope. I haven’t had any issues with the cvs.

[@scottlutz8723]

What website did you go to get your bumper I haven't asked there too and I live in Maryland also

[@conheck_offroad]

Check out Expedition One. Not sure of their exact site address. But googling that should get you close

[@kylejeter9899]

Please tell me you went back and added paint to the holes you drilled out

[@conheck_offroad]

Yessir. I just didn’t have any that day

[@thomascarpenter5536]

Are you able to adjust the gap between the bumper and the headlight/fenders?

[@conheck_offroad]

Yeah you can adjust it

[@rodolfotorres9561]

I need to buy it!! Can you say me where buy it please!

[@conheck_offroad]

Expedition one

[@cH1n0eL]

Just got my bumper in, I have the Diode Dynamics SS3 Fog lights on my Xterra. But it seems the bracket does not work on the Expedition one bumper, do you have any idea what kind of bracket we need to purchase? thanks! great vid.

[@conheck_offroad]

Honestly man. I’m not sure. I didn’t need to get another bracket for the Baja designs lights. My advice would be to reach out to expedition one and see what they recommend for your light. If that doesn’t help it may vine form to you making your own bracket. Sorry I’m not score to help more. Best of luck 🤙🏽

[@cH1n0eL]

@@conheck_offroad What bolts did you end up using for the bottom of the skid plates? the four that came with the OEM skid plate do not reach the treads. And the silver looking bolts that I had left over are waaay too big for the bolt hole.

[@conheck_offroad]

I had bolts left over from my skid plate set that I had ordered

[@cH1n0eL]

@@conheck_offroad thanks for the info dude! I did contact Expedition One and they're going to send me the brackets.

[@conheck_offroad]

Oh nice! That should work perfectly!

[@bg2828]

What did you do with your fender liners? Remove, cut, reshape? Also, did you end up getting a lightbar for the roof rack?

[@conheck_offroad]

I just completely removed the fender liners. I did just finally get a light bar for the roof rack. I had been waiting for a long time for the bar to come in. Baja designs was having supply chain issues which is why it took so long.

[@bg2828]

@@conheck_offroad 30" bar?

[@conheck_offroad]

Yeah. I went with the dual control Amber/white 30” bar from Baja designs

Expedition One website says the bumper fits 09 and above... but older can sometimes work with trimming. How much harder is it to get on an 07?

Sorry man, I have no idea as my X is a 2011. I would try reaching out to someone from expedition one. They may be able to help you a bit more

[@libertyprime2852]

Do you know if this bumper would work on a 02 pathfinder?

[@conheck_offroad]

This bumper is specifically for 05+ xterras. But check with the company. They may make one for the pathfinder

[@jdogeats]

Your vids have been really helpful! What size/type of fog lights did you buy to fit the holes? I ordered this bumper back in dec and wanted to do the fog lights at the same time.

[@conheck_offroad]

That’s great to hear! Thanks for the feedback! 🤙🏽 So when I placed the order for my bumper there was a drop down for fog light options. I went with the Baja designs squadron pro (amber). Next week I’ll have a how to video for the Baja designs lights, which might be useful for you if you decide to go with those
