Those Xterras with the round headlights are my favorites.

[@JirafaWood]

I’m glad my xterra isn’t the only one that squeaks with every bump.

[@Just_Another_YouTube_channel_]

Mine did too sadly I recently got hit and totaled it

[@coffeeandlifting]

These are tough little SUV's. I love how "old fashioned" they are. Nissan only used the most basic and proven systems on these instead of trying to get fancy... Manual transfer case instead of buttons, locking hubs instead of diff-disconnect, box frame, leaf springs, torsion bars, etc... not to mention the 3.3L is essentially a 1980's engine retrofitted with EFI.

I think I ran into the silver Xterra in Manistee national forest in October of last year. Cool video!!

[@HUGO-me7js]

✌😃👍 xterra 4x4 excellent video

[@coastalbeer]

My 2001 Xterra is rear wheel drive and all I do with it is DoorDash! I drove over a curb once and even went up a steep driveway!

[@Videona]

Lovely video and great 1st gen Xterra action

[@GrnXnham]

Ya gotta ditch the step rails and mud flaps in Moab

[@BinALA]

Just something about a first gen that hits different

[@f5fstop]

Didn't notice Kenny's Climb. Maybe I missed it or maybe, because i have not been in Moab off-roading for nine years (after living there for seven years with a Hummer), I forgot what it looked like. But is sure was one of my favorites. Sure does bring back some great memories.

[@jeffbmtb6993]

you guys made my day..thank you.

[@ITS305TIME]

Thanks for watching

[@XterraRob]

Awesome videos man!!!! We gotta get you some more subs!!! Awesome xterra adventures...getting close to the 1k mark!!!!

[@ITS305TIME]

Thanks, my dreams of being a rich youtube celebrity are starting to go down the toilet haha. Oh well its fun making videos and going back and watching them reliving all the journeys.

[@XterraRob]

@@ITS305TIME well you do good work and I wanted to pass along good vibes. Keep it up.

[@E5mma_combat]

Big facts

[@ITS305TIME]

@@XterraRob thanks man. Ive think i have watched a few of your how to vids. The one on repacking the front wheel bearings was very helpful.

[@nissanxterra4339]

hi, is there a locking center diff please?

[@kendallstout881]

Love the steelie rims on the gold xterra what tires is he running. Look ing at 2002 xterra to buy. That's the wheel combo Iam going for.

[@Captain_Yodelstein]

Just knowing the difference between how things appear on camera compared to how they are in real life gave me a little anxiety watching this! Good job spotting and giving directions. Terrain like that definitely goes better when the driver and spotter are on the same page. Can't wait for part 2!

[@ITS305TIME]

Yeah, its a shame the camera tends to flatten everything out. Some of those shots were like strait up and down. The part where the car was teetering going down the rock on that angle, i thought there was a high chance he was going to end up on his roof.

[@Captain_Yodelstein]

@@ITS305TIME, that shot where it was teetering I was thinking it didn't look too bad. Then I think back to my own videos, the way it looks on screen to the way it looks (and more importantly the way it feels) never seems to translate well. Like I said, great job to both you and the driver.

[@ANDYDARKO31]

@@Captain_Yodelstein It’s weird since I drove it made me tense just watching me do it after the fact. It’s crazy how camera makes things seem easy. Before this trip I had planned to run this trail and seemed super easy going. Man was I wrong. Most things said online that 33” tires and a locker would be the minimum but I had heard of people doing it in stock vehicles so I thought looks easy enough I don’t need that stuff. Well come to find out I didn’t need it but it would have made everything a little easier.

[@Captain_Yodelstein]

@@ANDYDARKO31😆...you did good. You guys worked well together. 33s and a locker would've made too easy to be fun! J/K

[@ryanspenard3750]

Would love to know what modifications you’ve done. Your Xterra looks nearly stock but was a beast in this video! Also, are those just stock steelies sprayed white? Look really cool! Loved the video!!

[@ITS305TIME]

Yeah the tan xterra is my friend's. It is completely stock except the tires, 265/75/16s, 1 inch taller then stock and cranked up torsion bars in front. He got the rims from ebay, steel spares off Nissans or toyotas and painted them international harvester tan with TSC paint. The xterra is a 5 speed with a limited slip rear differential.

[@NSRS1]

Good video! Front carrier bearing g ave out on my 00 xterra and I don't know if I should keep it or sell it 😑

[@XterraRob]

Keep it duh!

[@hatesTD]

nice using the steel wheels those or 16 i suppose ? Are you using 265/70/16 size tires?

[@jthondacrf8926]

Awesome what trail is that

[@rfcdgaf]

Whats squeaking lol Leaf spring bushings?

[@kendallstout881]

How about walk around on moab rigs

[@Rob-j3c]

Lockers before lift. Pro-4X version would handle Western terrain much better. I have a 2018 JLUR and a 2020 Frontier Pro-4X and live in AZ.

[@nissan_adventures3517]

How are the iron man tires on the road? Are they loud?

[@ITS305TIME]

Not too loud i dont think. Its my friends xterra. I know he has a bad tire that causes a vibration though. So i guess there ok aslong as you dont get a defective one.

[@prestondeters5093]

You'll never have a full set iron man tires that will balance well. There will always be at least one bad one. If you do get them, keep up on rotations like crazy or they will start to severely cup on the tread.

[@bushnut8305]

What wheels and tires? Full stock or modified?

[@ITS305TIME]

Iron man mud tires, 265-75-16, one size bigger then stock. The rims are just a full set of spare steel rims like what the spare tire is on. And its stock, just adjusted the torsion bars to level it and the mud tires that are about a inch taller but fit without a lift.

[@ANDYDARKO31]

Yep what he said. Wheels are painted International Harvester White

[@Raevenswood]

What was the overheating issue?

[@ITS305TIME]

I had a bad radiator cap so the coolant kept boiling over and blasting out the over flow tank. Plus it was over 100 degrees and my radiator fins are probely packed full of michigan mud from all the other offroad trips.

[@Raevenswood]

@@ITS305TIME at least it was only a 20$ problem :). keep up the videos I dig them!

[@panissanassociation5003]

The 1st gen Xterra is incredible!! Here’s mine in the blizzard kzbin.info/www/bejne/gILSpoWgbsRqhrc

[@garymartinez4864]

Is this a diesel?

[@ITS305TIME]

Nope, 3.3L v6 gasoline
