Yes sir, extremely well maintained! I Finally convinced the gf that a truck was needed!

Lots planned for it and us!

Nice Xterra! Just a heads up I know some of them have the transmission cooler built into the rad, which likes to fall apart and mix the coolant and trans fluid together. I don't remember the exact details on whats years and whatnot were affected but something to double check, I think you just need to convert it to an external trans cooler and it's good to go.

You are correct, this is usually a 2nd gen issue so luckily it's a rare issue for me. Thst being said I have a few plans to keep things cooler as people claim the supercharger causes the engine to run about 30 degrees hotter. A rad, trans cooler and nismo thermostat are on the list. Come summer I plan to do a single small louver over the charger to exhaust some. Of the heat. I'm going to look for soemthing I can block off during the wet/cold months as it won't be needed then. I appreciate the input guys! I'm clearly new to Nissan's/trucks so anything that can help I appreciate

Yeah this is an issue related to Automatic 2nd Gen Xterra's. First Gen Xterra's and Manual Xterra's are generally not affected.

Nice pickup on the xterra snails, funny how it seems so many guys are now switching to 4x4's. Before I bought the juke I was on the hunt for a 6speed xterra. No nice ones ever popped up, and I eventually gave up.

I've always loved those xterras, just hate the gas mileage.

Yeah, I have read the same. Luckily I carpool with the gf 3 weeks a month in my Da, so it shouldn't break the bank

OZs are awesome!!! Nice and light!

I was in Squamish too. Getting her dirty and playing a little bit of DirtKhana off the beaten path.

I cleaned her when I got home and had to clean the driveway from all the dirt and mud caked on the underbelly and wheel wells. [emoji15] Such a dirty girl!

I can't believe nobody has stepped up to buy this thing, I almost don't even want to sell it.

Took her up on 99 before the snow rated tires are mandatory on October 1st.

No snow tires needed, just M+S so all-seasons are technically legal...

Let's hope your Boxster sells before this so you don't have to :troll:

If it wasn't boosted I'd be selling stuff to make the effort to purchase. Car is worth the money all day long but the 6 puck and boost might be scaring people off. The guy that bought my Evo said that was the deciding factor for him as the others for sale at the time all had 6 pucks.

I probably should have stated that I run summer tires (BFG Sport Comp 2)

Might still say M+S on them... I've found that designation in some summer tires which is horrifyingly amazing. :heckno:

Found a dude who was confused why his BFG summer tires showed M+S lol.

I think it just has to have siping to count as M+S. Unless it has the mountain and snowflake I wouldn't consider it a winter tire outside of the GVRD.

Exactly! The highways should actually require the snowflake (3-peak symbol) for actual winter driving safety.
