Updated Xterra Walk Around-Overlanding Build (OVS Awning, Offgrid Raptor Series RTT, Suspension)

[@alabamagirl2725]

I have an 06 and we live in the woods. 6 speed 4 wheel drive. I'm slowly upgrading. Thank you for the video. It's helpful.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Awesome! Those 6 speeds are great and getting harder to find. Glad it was helpful!

[@Overland_eXploits_Oklahoma]

Love the budget minded stuff. Nice update

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks!

[@MountainRoots]

Nice tires! Yeah, we're in that stage/phase running AT tires bc the MTs are so noisy on road (and we use our truck on road a lot). May look into something like these in the future 👍

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

For sure! I'm going to be dropping a video here soon of the experience I had with Trail Built which was really great so check that out and when you're ready for tires, they can make it easy on you! Just make sure to tell them I sent you, haha.

[@MountainRoots]

@@AllThingsOverlanding haha, understood :p

Hey Fletch, because of you I just bought an 05 pathfinder. Couldn't find a nice enough xterra with 4wd. So thank you!!!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I love the Pathfinders too. I've actually been eyeing them in case something happens to the Xterra. Wouldn't mind a V8 Pathy someday. Congrats!

[@gibrigg]

Hope you enjoy the Pathfinder. I loved my 05 Pathy before I went to the Xterra. Make sure you check for the SMOD correction. It was probably already done, but its a big deal- mine was fixed before I got it.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@gibrigg We'll see what happens! The Xterra is still running strong for now! Thanks!

[@BrianWest58]

I have a crew cab Frontier so a bit different direction for me but some solid ideas. 2in medium duty lift with a RTT and all my storage is removable from my bed for daily driving. Still working out skid plates and waiting for my AT tires to wear down so I can go back to the Wrangler Dura Tracs like I had on my '95 Toyota. Dig those Kenda's!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Thanks! I love the Frontiers too. Might be my next truck if this one ever dies.

[@MountainRoots]

Function over form...no judgement here✌️

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

It's the opposite of my car, lol. Gotta have the best of both worlds! :D

[@theycallmejim9643]

glad to hear you like the Klever RT's! I just ordered a set of 33's for my Grand Cherokee overlander project.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Nice! They're really nice tires. I'm a big fan.

[@clechleitner3108]

Great vid - thanks for sharing! Got my 2014 Xterra Pro-4x in 11/2020 & have spent the last 5 months gearing up. Many ideas I've gotten from you - particularly Wam bumper and roof rack (working on a few others, so may come back to pick your brain). Just spent some time in the last week in Mark Twain Nat Forrest in Missouri. Had a blast. Who knows - maybe I'll run into you in the UP, eh?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Awesome, thanks for the comment! You going to KOAR?

[@clechleitner3108]

@@AllThingsOverlanding honestly haven't thought that far ahead. I'll be out in CO this summer trying out some trails there. Want to head up to the Manistee NF yet this spring and again in this fall. I bet KOAR would be cool.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

It was awesome last year so can’t wait for this years event. Have fun in CO!

[@richpeterson8747]

Good video. I've been very impressed with my cali raised ditch lights for the price, no moisture and bright. I'm considering Rust Bullet for problem areas the stuff has very good reviews.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Nice! I've never heard of Rust Bullet, but I'll check it out. I've always used Rustoleum for touching stuff up, but just because it's readily available.

[@SouthWaterlooArea]

I love my X - have done almost nothing to it except ad tires, miles, and some "trail pinstripes" - oh and a vent extension for the rear axle.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

That's really all you need!

[@cesargomez9670]

Love the rig. Keep it up.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Thanks buddy!

[@RogueOverland]

Nice! Dig the awning.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Thanks! It’s really awesome.

[@kimdillon5202]

Hi! I love remote camping and off roading with my 2005 Xterra. I have a little lift. My tires have recently bit the dust. I have read alot about KO2's ( not exactly budget friendly but seem to have great reviews) however your Kenda's seem really nice. I am wondering if you had any thoughts on the matter. I live in the PNW and I do tackle mud ( lots of mud) over any other terrain.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I personally really love the Kenda Klever RT's and have had them on 3 Nissan trucks now. They do great in pretty much all weather and while aggressive enough for offroad use, they are still relatively quiet on the road. I love them and will likely run them on all my offroad trucks going forward.

[@MountainRoots]

Our silverado is all stock suspension right now, and honestly not sure if it's a good idea to lift it/block it. It's a full size 3/4 ton truck that we also use for our homestead/farm (hauling livestock). If it was a dedicated rig l, maybe. What do you think?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Depends I guess. Honestly, if I was you and I used it for work, I'd just leave it stock and modify your trips to account for it.

[@qeva_]

Great

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Thanks!

[@RayGrau]

Just got an Xterra and wonder how did you get the wider stance with the tires? Rims... Or titan swapped, spacers?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I had 0 offset wheels and 1.5" spacers if I remember right!

[@loganbaker765]

So I just got a 15 Xterra and I have been watching plenty of videos to see how to mount at RTT on the stock rack. I am thinking you probably can’t. But Nobody in their videos say what they mount the tent on. So what do you mount it on?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Hey Logan. I actually made my own DIY roof rack for about $100 from unistrut which is what I mounted mine too. Here’s a video I made about how I did it if it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7SeHR9nN6bZtE

[@beardumaw24]

Put the back plastics back on looks way better with them on. Looks trashy without them on.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Haven’t had this truck for about 4 years now.

[@camhammer2348]

I was in the process of building my 05 xterra and I blew my motor :/ that put a big stop in that haha

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

That would be a deal breaker. Sorry to hear that!

[@camhammer2348]

Just a set back in the process of pricing the rebuild then I'll getter all done right back to the build haha

[@Chris-lt9br]

Heya! What infotainment was this?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

That truck had this Eonon double din touchscreen android unit in it. They have some other updated ones, but this one is super cheap now. Here's a link to that specific one (and check out the other recommended ones to see their newer headunits): amzn.to/46Lcj9n. I loved it, but I'm sure the newer/faster ones are even better.

[@johnh7455]

Dude it’s not a truck

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

No, it’s a body on frame suv.
