Awesome stuff. Love seeing 2 discontinued off road beasts!

[@juliomadriz]

Thanks! Gotta keep them alive! Cheers!

[@pineappleoverlord9k462]

hello from the future im sure you have seen it but the landcruiser/fj is coming back! sadly no xterra yet but there are rumours and honestly i wouldnt be surprised if we see nissan pull one out in the next year or so!

[@jonlosito2004]

Love both of these beasts!! They should literally bring back both of these SUVs from the dead to rival the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, LR Defender and much more since the off road market is soo popular right now

[@juliomadriz]

100% agree!

[@JohnnyRebLa]

Xterra is supposed to be 2024 but if it even does happen I'm sure nissan will water it down and make it less off road worthy the way they have done everything else in my opinion. It will probably have 22" whiggerriffic's and be 4 inches off the ground, or hell that's probably just in the back the front will probably have 15" of ground clearance.

[@kylesteinhauser2535]

@@JohnnyRebLa to be fair, the frontier is very offroad capable and the new Xterra, if there was one, would likely share that platform.

[@JohnnyRebLa]

@@kylesteinhauser2535 I know that's what I drive but nissan doesn't put much effort into the offroad area.

[@kylesteinhauser2535]

@@JohnnyRebLa not as much as yota for sure but there's still a decent amount of support for the vehicle and maybe, by accident, they actually made a pretty capable platform in the new generation Frontier so I imagine they wouldn't have to be too beefy on their offroad work when it comes to making another offroader. But I agree, Nissan has become a lease company that happens to make cars these days so it's a bummer.

[@CarGuy87]

Nice footage and great views man. I want an xterra for offroader. Any years/trim you would recommend/avoid? The pro4x models have a beefier rear end. Do you disconnect/remove sway bars?

[@PinPeatHD]

Love your Xterra!! I have a Pro-4X myself. Amazing video and beautiful set up. Thank for sharing.

[@juliomadriz]

thanks for watching!

[@Gokywildcats11]

​. What year. Are those good 4wd machines

[@cheboludoche]

Epic views! Nice trip.

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

I've got a 2011 Pro 4x in silver so this was candy for my eyes. Thanks for an amazing video.

Thanks for watching!

Nissan: "We raised the rear seats to give the passengers a better view." Toyota: "Yeah fuck anyone that sits in the back."

[@U.s-epa]

I sold a 02 lc100 and got my 05 xTerra 6spd locked and absolutely love the thing! Way better than Toyota so far majority underrated 4x4 I think.

[@juliomadriz]

that's awesome! Xterras are super capable, even in stock form.

[@TrayJayRecords]

about to pick up a pro4 for 18k it sucks to overpay but I totaled my bmw

[@juliomadriz]

you're going to love the pro4x!

[@andresdill9121]

Where is the spare located on the Xterra?

[@juliomadriz]

under the body behind the rear bumper, but if I'm wheeling bigger obstacles and I need more ground clearance I just throw it in the back of the X strapped in in the cargo area

Man I love those FJ's BUT everytime I found one with under 75k miles in good shape they were going for 25k or more. Ran across a '15 Pro4x with 60k miles , 2 owner ,got it for 16 and Ima chipper! Just need to do some little mods to it like maybe ...I dunno...A TITAN SWAP!

[@juliomadriz]

Nice man! That’s awesome, one of the last ones ever made! If you like to off roading, I would 10000% recommend the Titan Swap. The best mod I’ve done by far. Cheers!

[@theeditorrestrial]

@@juliomadriz definitely! Got a buddy that has a great shop if I can twist his arm to let me use it!

[@christopher9626]

So was the xterra a Salvage Title or a Branded title? Trying to get an FJ under 75k for 25k of less? I found 1 out of 57 in my area that was 25k for that mileage and I highly suspect it's seen its fair share of damage that was never reported. Most of the FJs with that mileage were mid 30' to over 40k.

[@theeditorrestrial]

@@christopher9626 the Xterra was clean. Dealership was a Hyundai place. My guess is they didn’t know what they had. All the Xterras of that year were going around 20k or so. Now they are like 25-28k for the mileage if clean for the trim. All the FJs are goofy pricey if clean and under certain mileage for sure

[@christopher9626]

​@@theeditorrestrial you have amazing luck combined with stupid salesmen! I ran a check on auto trader and 2015 pro4x with that mileage are selling for over 30k with 2 over 40k but one had only 25k miles and the other only 2000 miles. I'd love to know the story being that one. Grandma only driving it on Sunday or something. a few years ago I found a white 2015 pro4x, manual in prescott, Az that a lady wanted 22k for and it had 24k miles on it. I still kick myself for not getting it. You could make , probably 10 grand if you flipped yours with as insane as the market is right now. I'm happy for you! I had a buddy that went it to buy a used Charger R/T at some no name lot. and and as he was going over it, He was noticing there were components on it that were not R/T related. He pulled the vin or something and it was a rebadged Scatpack or one of the higher end models. This was in the middle of nowhere texas and everyone drove pickups so they couldn't sell it. He made some ridiculous offer and they took it. He turned around and flipped it and made over 20k on the flip.

Hey bud. Was wondering if you bypassed the trans cooler on the Xterra or anything like that . Love the vid

[@juliomadriz]

thanks! and yes, I bypassed the trans cooler that is integrated in the radiator. I still have the aux cooler and also added a second aux cooler with a temp controlled cooling fan. I've had that setup for over 100k miles without issues...with plenty of offroading and mountain driving. Cheers!

[@gibrigg]

Great video! Appreciate the xterra content- thanks for posting!

Thanks for watching. Hopefully will be able to do some more filming and editing in the near future. Cheers!

[@matto8094]

Great truck. And video. Adding this to my list of trails to run

[@juliomadriz]

Thanks! and yeah, this trail is awesome for sure. Cheers!

[@soloryderrr]

That place looks epic! What exhaust you running?

[@juliomadriz]

back then I had a magnaflow 2 in 1 out setup. That setup got rid of the Y pipe but it had more drone than I like. I then switched to a factory Nissan Pathfinder 2 in 1 out. Still no Y pipe, but much quieter than the magnaflow.

[@soloryderrr]

​@@juliomadriz Nice, thanks for the info! Hope to see some new trips soon. I see you have some ski vids from my neck of the woods (Okanagan BC area). Good wheeling here too!

[@scott8238]

are you running the m205 up front? I just did the T swap but im still running the r180 for now

[@juliomadriz]

nope. r180 here!

[@scott8238]

@@juliomadriz nice what spacers are you running in the rear and whats your spring setup? I just added alcans with shackles for 4" of travel and it rides sooo nice!

[@juliomadriz]

@@scott8238 NIce! I have OME Dakar HD springs and Nisstec adjustable shackles in the back. I tried to keep lift at about 3.5 inches to retain as much down travel/articulation as possible as well as a low center of gravity. I don't remember the brand for the spacer but I know they are 2 inch spacers.

[@otardatashvili3256]

Awesome video❤ i have one question do have diff lock?

thanks! and I do have a locker in the rear diff

very beautiful! take a look at our mountains in Kazakhstan Almaty region

[@juliomadriz]

thanks! will do!

[@djbadhabits]

Awesome build, and adventures..!! How much lift and what tire size are you running on the X..? Any wheel spacers..? Thanks.

[@FenderStrat1975]

I would love to know what lift kit you have on your X please? I am building a 2009 X thanks.

[@juliomadriz]

it's not quite a lift "kit" I just pieced it together over time. As it sits right now the front suspension is Titan Swapped with with t-swap specific Radflo 2.5 coilovers with 600lb springs, Titan SPC UCAs, factory Titan LCAs and Titan factory inner and outter tie rods. I kept the Xterra r180 so I used extended CV axles. For the rear I have OME Dakar HD leaf pack with 3-4in lift Bilstein shocks and Nisstec adjustable shackles. I have everything set to about 3.5 inches of lift overall. Hope this helps. I would give the guys at Nisstec or All Dogs Offroad a call. They can definitely point you in the right direction for your application and budget. Cheers.

[@FenderStrat1975]

@@juliomadriz thanks so much. Hope to see alot more content of your rig on KZbin

Love your X. I want to outfit my 2012 pro 4x so bad

[@juliomadriz]

I get the feeling. Although, Xterras are very, very capable in stock form. I wheeled mine stock for years. Which helped give me an idea of what mods I actually needed. Cheers!

[@Gokywildcats11]

Whats the best years for xterra

[@juliomadriz]

I would say 2015. It was the last year they were made so they would be the newest you'll find. They didn't change much from 2011 to 2015. If I were buying another one I would look at those years for sure. Cheers

[@desertadventures4221]

Really entertaining video

[@1T1ME]

Great content, great rigs. Thank you!

[@Static_East]

I just bought a 2015 xterra for 1k off of my boss as my first car just needed to fix exhaust which took about 600 it was definitely a steal but i was wondering what should i do to it to get it out and running on trails like these?

[@juliomadriz]

[@chengchang7932]

What size the tires and wheels thanks

[@DesertFernweh]

How much lift do you have on that?

[@juliomadriz]

About 3.5 inches

[@DesertFernweh]

@@juliomadriz is that body and Suspension? What kit did you use?

[@juliomadriz]

No body lift. All suspension. This was not necessarily a “kit” I just pieced it together over time. It’s essentially a Titan swap. 3.5 inches is about factory height for Titan geometry. My goal was to sit about half way into the travel and retain as much down travel as possible for articulation. This setup takes the most advantage out of the 10 inches of travel I have in the front. That said I believe multiple vendors sell Titan Swap “kits” now.

[@shadowswordairsofteast]

This is awesome I wish I could take my Xterra out on a trail like this but I don't live anywhere near anything like this and I don't know anyone that would go with me if I did.

Did the X have a nail in Tire morning after First night Campfire before hitting trail? I saw nail sticking out on front right passenger looked like and then saw it patched I think when doing first part of rock area after first lil water creek.

[@juliomadriz]

no nails that I was aware of, and definitely no patches. I just replaced that set of tires with about 60k miles on them

[@dustinr26]

@@juliomadriz Hey thanks quick reply, at 1:35 min mark front passenger tire at 7oclock position of tire looks like something stuck in tire then at mark 3:23 min front passenger you see out outer most tread at 12oclock black tar like patch work. That is what I saw exactly. Love your X perfectly done looking. Love the stance and all and it seemed effortless for the X too going through areas. Great Vid too

[@juliomadriz]

@@dustinr26 Thanks! it does look like I had something in that tire. Although, it was probably a stick or something stuck between the tire tread. I pretty sure I never had a nail in any of those tires and the patch looking thing must have been something I drove over at some point. I definitely have never patch a tire haha. Cheers!
