Sickest Nissan Xterra Ever - Don't Miss This Overland Build Walk Around

[@CGGarage]

Lmao bro you got me dying at that, "Don't mind the gun shots, we're in a state that's FREE". Love it. Good chat

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the comment!

I love JBWell, used it to fix my little leaking cracked radiator on my 03 Xterra. It is part of my tool now and Liquid Steel used to fix a little hole on my muffler. These 2 items are a must have.

[@RogueOverland]

Agreed! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@bushnut8305]

I’ve got an 02 wd21 as well. Red with the AC lift. falcon AT3Ws. I’ve done over 10k km of overlanding in the last 3 years. Has never let me down.

[@RogueOverland]

Sounds like an awesome rig! Thanks for the comment!

[@AllTerrainNation]

This Xterra up close is a beast!

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@428ghost]

Consider relocating the air temp sensor on the Volant CAI box. It gets heat soaked because it's right next to the radiator, so it's not sending the actual air temp in the box. I moved mine to the other side of the box where it remains cool, even close to ambient temp on the highway as my snorkel acts like an ram air.

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Teekay617]

Love it man! Great build!

[@RogueOverland]

Thank you!

[@XjDrZ]

Love the videos. Also love the platform so refreshing to see something other than a taco....been saying it for years nissan is easily overlooked yet highly capable vehicles !

[@RogueOverland]

Thank you! We agree..... reasonably priced and capable.

[@rexterra0275]

Great video! Love my O2X! Please let me know when you are thinking about your midwest loop. We are in MN and do some wheelin in WI and MI-UP. Thanks so much for given X’s the love they deserve. I had one new in 99 and when I was looking for a project Iast year knew I wanted a first gen X. Stay safe and thanks for all the Nissan content.

[@RogueOverland]

Thank you! Keep an eye on our Instagram/Facebook accounts (@RogueOverland) as we will post about it there. The planning is in early stages so it will be at least 10 months out.

[@bengb25]

Is there a list of parts used on Nick’s Xterra. A tried and true setup with parts that work and not guessed. To setup my rig correctly I’m looking to do a SAS on my 01 Xterra also with a roof top tent and do an overland build. The way Nick built up his is how I want mine to handle and feel. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Great build

[@RogueOverland]

Shoot us an email through the website and we can help you out.

[@NissanPodcast]

Yeah buddy!!

[@RogueOverland]

Whoot whoot!

[@qeva_]

Great content

[@RogueOverland]

Thank you!

[@johansoto518]

We need a detail video of the Drawer System that you got.

[@RogueOverland]

We will put it on the list!

[@evrettj.9250]

Awesome video. I just picked up an '04 4x4 with 79K miles. This gives me a lot of stuff to buy hahaha.

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks! Nice. Hope the build goes well!

[@miguelaldeguer3190]

Hi, can you tell me what roof to tent is that? And are you having any issues with it?

[@RogueOverland]

It’s the hybrid from Cascadia Vehicle Tents. It has been great! Call their Las Vegas store and tell the Rogue Overland sent you, they will take good care of you.

[@soulsurfer8797]

Exceptionl build. Which shop did you all go to for the decking/honing of the block and port/polish of the cylinder head? I have a 3.4L S/C’d swapped engine into my 1st Gen 4runner and would like to have this done to my engine. Also have you considered a Clamshell tent? I run an AluCab on mine. Noticed a huge difference with sway at HW speeds when I switched from my Tepui.

[@RogueOverland]

It was a local Vegas shop that has unfortunately gone out of business. No we haven’t, but that’s good information to know. Thanks for sharing!

[@rexterra0275]

Soul Surfer i bought a re-build from Promar engines last year. They were great to work with and when my mechanic had an issue, their support and warranty service has been great. Love having a new heart in Rexy. Adds a lot more confidence on the long trips.

[@Dusther210]

It would be great if I could get stuff for my 1st gen frontier from you guys. No one makes a swing out tire carrier for it. I hear I can’t even use an xterra one. But you guys are cool man, when everyone else is running Tacomas and I feel alone with my Nissan I can find solace in your KZbin or IG lol

[@RogueOverland]

Ya we feel your pain. Very few companies make anything for the first generation xterra/frontier. Thanks! We are glad you enjoy our videos.

[@markarnold5898]

Hey, is there a place I can learn about plans to tour the Midwest? Is this a private thing?

[@RogueOverland]

Keep an eye on our social media (@RogueOverland). It will be open to people to attend. It is in the early planning stage, so it likely wont happen for 10+ months.

[@rexterra0275]

Same here. I am in MN.

[@misterbulger]

Is that front axle available for a Titan? I noticed we share a lot of part numbers...

[@RogueOverland]

The Titan shares parts with the second generation xterra, not the first gen. This is a custom build with a keep axle.

[@ELRORRITO1]

Got to love that you probably parked right behing Ben Avery Shooting Facility 😁... love my Phoenix, AZ

[@RogueOverland]

We were out by Lake Pleasant. Not 100% sure but we should have been northwest of the range.

[@ELRORRITO1]

@@RogueOverland man so sad here.. I have been subscribed for a while and I have been looking for the perfect Xterra Pro-4x for me and I found a 2015 Pro-4X with only 57,000 miles, pristine and looked like it was never taken off road. Man I drove it and called my Credit union. They got me set up and I was ready to buy it to find out they sold it 😭. My plan was to build it up to hit trails here in AZ and then pass it to my 12 yr old son when he is old enough but somebody pulled the trigger before I did. I hope they enjoy it. But hey I will keep looking. Thx for reading our stuff.

[@RogueOverland]

@@ELRORRITO1 Things always work out. A better one will probably present itself soon.

Is the calmini SAS a good set up to run on an 04 automatic xterra I have the 3”. Calmini lift

[@RogueOverland]

We run a modified version of it on our 01 AT X, it works great! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3WtoIWYicSiatU

[@HeartofGold16]

Something I thought you were going to talk about was the snorkel! Is it functional?

[@RogueOverland]

We did. It is 100% sealed and functional. It’s about 1/3 of the way through the video when we talk about the engine modifications. Thanks for watching!

[@HeartofGold16]

@@RogueOverland obviously I missed that part! Thanks for clarifying! Good looking truck! Maybe we’ll see you on the trails sometime! We run a 2005 Xterra.

[@RogueOverland]

@@HeartofGold16 No problem. Would love to share a trail/campfire sometime!

Are you still using the stock clutch master cylinder, or did you use an alternative?

[@RogueOverland]

Stock. Thanks for watching!

[@gBakez]

Rough estimate spent on this beast? Minus what’s inside the back. Thanks!

[@RogueOverland]

A SAS is about $8-9K for coil overs. I has a lot to so with how much work you do yourself. Thanks for watching.

Hey Nick you go to overland east

[@RogueOverland]

We haven't been yet but would like to one day. We will be at the MOORE expo this weekend. mooreexpo.com/

me so jelly ...my 2005 has mud tires for the floods and thats it

[@RogueOverland]

One step at a time. Good luck with your build!

[@ernestsandovaliii4693]

What is the front bumper?

[@RogueOverland]

It is a custom built front bumper. You can see more details on it in this walk around video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poXJZoN8ba5nfZo

[@christylynn0100]

9:04, OMG!!!! Hey guys I bought a 2006 and I've been told people following me say I'm going UNDER the speed limit. What again would this mean? I would love a response.

If you have bigger tires than stock it sill effect your speedometer accuracy.

Not that we have heard of but we have seen a second generation frontier with a welded rear diff.

[@helioqueiroz2029]

You guys talk, talk and talk, but don't show the car... Frustrating!

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the comment. The video hasn't been out long enough for you to have watched it all, there are b-roll cuts throughout the video showing the Xterra. Watch it all and let us know what you think.

[@soloduce]

@@RogueOverland I'm with Helio, too much talk not enough truck. You did do some cuts to the truck for each topic but we really want to see the truck. More voice over work and less ant brushing please.

[@troutjunkie7330]

Same here. Watched the whole thing hoping to see more of the vehicle footage, especially under it and in action. Too much talk standing around. You can have this whole conversation with footage showing the X from all angles and crawling over stuff.

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@RogueOverland]

We are always looking to improve. Thanks for the input.

[@BX0207]

You look very uncomfortable with the fidgeting, weight balance shifting and scratching- you seem like you are not listening to the guy talking ....You really should have simply stopped your filming, went to get a pair of pants and start over.(we wouldn't have noticed). and way too much social distance talk.. voice over and show the truck much more.

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the feedback. What did you like about the video?

[@rfcdgaf]

25 minutes and no walk around jesus, worse video

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the feedback. We felt like there was plenty of B-roll but we will keep your feedback in mind on the next video.
