Nissan Xterra? Yay/Nay?

yeah but if you put the blower on the new V6 then it would really be something

There are long travel Nissan suspensions being developed for the desert crowd

who is developing them? ive only seen one nissan desert truck, it was in the dirt sports magazine and i think it was a frontier pro truck

Well if the friggin search button over at DezertRangers was working I would post the truck, I was unable to find it. It is the test mule for a company who is making long travel A arm suspension kits for the new Nissan platforms

Its a silver frontier with fiberglass, etc.

yeah its been down for a while, i think i know which one you are talking about now that you mention it.

 

[BigDave!!!]

there is actually another LT frontier, its a red one and its on the opening page of racerunner.com, has a total chaos sticker on the windshield so maybe they are building kits for them. sorry for jacking the thread guys

yeah they are building kits, might be 2wd only however...

I have only two problems with the Xterra:

1) It has IFS. Just like every other newer midsize SUV out there, which is why I still drive my 92 explorer (even with the grossly underpowered but reliable as hell pushrod 4.0L).

2) It's foreign (yes I know it's prolly "made" on US soil by US workers, but nissan is still a foreign company). No one get offended, I don't mean it like that. This is just my opinion and I realize not many share it anymore. It is, however, a fact that would keep ME from buying one.

Thats my 2 cents.

Oh, and for anyone who is interested, my 92 4.0L with 120,000 miles gets 18 city and 23 highway milage.

i have always thought that the x terra's were awsome there are a couple of them up here that are built up and they play hard and seem to hold up
