Same here. Besides being a cool project, i love offroad and all related to that, and i also have a 20 year old 4wd Nissan that´s not an XTerra, but is relatively similar, so i´m also learning something useful.

*Watching Sarah fiddle with the torsion bars on a Nissan is so funny to me because I used to loosen mine to lower my truck. You have to remember on a Nissan that the gas tank is on one side of the frame so the weight isn't even when trying to get the truck level. I always had to put the truck on the ground and drive it back and fourth so the suspension settles into its normal ride height. Then you can do a final tweak to get the height the same on both sides.*
