r/XTerra

Have a 2007 with 186,000 miles and it has made the whining sound for a year, since I bought it. Video of engine sound:

I need your opinion. Do I get the timing chain, guides, and tensioners replaced? Or do I risk it and drive it till it dies due to age? It will cost me between $2k and $3.5k depending were I go because this is beyond my skill.

Recently I had to replace the crankshaft position sensor. It has some rust, but not as bad as others I've looked at. Not sure on past history, but looks like the following were done in recent years:

Catalytic converter and O2 sensor

Camshaft position sensor

Ignition coil

Serpentine belt

Brakes

Battery

Window regulator

What do I do?

Hello - I have a 2003 Xterra with a horrible overheating issue. I've replaced the thermostat, radiator cap, and clutch fan. Decided to add some dye today and found a massive leak on the passenger side. I took this picture of where coolant seems to be coming out the most. I simply can't find anything online as to what this is. Any suggestions?

Everyone here may have known this but me, but I got this as a Yahoo Finance notification (of all things) last night. Swore I would never buy another "new" vehicle, but... Excited.

I really like how practical this SUV can be for a long of things. My wife asked me where we can out it, I said we have an Xterra. No problem at all. This was the photo after we got home.

out with the old, and in with the new, plus the snorkel of course, and rain guards

For sale! 2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X. I'm starting to need a truck more and more and I can't justify having 3 vehicles living in an apartment if I buy a truck lol.

2011 (post SMOD so no worries there). Very well maintained mechanically. Everything works as it should. AC blows cold, heat works great. 133k miles, just passed smog and registration paid.

New name brand suspension components all the way around (Bilstein 6112 coilovers with eibach springs, Bilstein rear shocks and Z1 off road leafs. Perry parts/Sumo springs bumps front and rear respectively), custom fabbed front bumper, full armor underneath covering radiator, oil pan, transmission, transfer case and gas tank. ARB rear diff cover, rear locking differential in the M226 axle, (aftermarket harness allows locker to be turned on in 2hi, 4hi and 4lo), shrockworks rock sliders and rear tire carrier bumper. OEM tow package (Yes, I even bought the OEM 7 pin wiring kit. 7 pin plug will eventually be flush mounted into the Shrock bumper)

Have a full detailed list of parts and mods available on request. Asking 12.5k. Not much wiggle room in the price at this point. I'm located near Pismo Beach, CA.

Shoot me a message with any questions! Thanks y'all.

Hi, long time follower first time poster. I bought an 08 Xterra that has a Titan swap and larger tires on Pro 4x wheels. Im only getting about 220 miles on a full tank. I know its lifted and the wheels are bigger but only getting 220 mile to a full tank seems so off to me.

Just wondering what type of MPG some of you all are getting amd if theres a common culprit fix.

I believe I have to much fuel in the air/fuel ratio. But pver to you experts on some advice hopefully.

Thanks!

Update: Thanks to everyone who responded great answers. Common denominator is that we didnt get X's for the fuel economy. Awesome group!

I mean the guy before me got every last penny out of these. Don’t think I’ll wait quite as long as he did!

So I truly do love this car, super fun and capable, but I have grown to need a truck— planning on a second gen cummins— but i would love to see this go to someone who knows what it is. Its
has just around 75,000 miles and is very sound, the only thing is the small dent in the front fender from offroading. If anyone here lives in Alaska and wants to check it out let me know, i would hang on to it for another month or so but after that I will be selling it

Found them on rockauto for 220 on the premium side I see others go from 300+ and wasn’t sure if these were the right hitachi oem ones

Gave this dirty girl a good wash for the long weekend ahead.
Anyone ever go through a “xpress” paint shop like Maaco, if so what was your experience. Looking to get a new paint job in anything but black.

Made a (I think) cool purchase on a clean, mechanically sound, no rust, 2002 XTerra with 149,000 miles from a good friend of mine. I paid 2 grand for it and I’m wondering if it’s a good deal. I bought it without the running boards and he eventually gave them to me along with the purchase. I put them on (as you can see in the second photo barely lol) and eventually fixed a power steering leak. He lifted it at one point which was cool too. Wondering on your guys thought since you guys probably know a lot about these things. Did I make a good purchase? What’s some cool mods that the XTerra community recommends I should do? Let me know. Thanks guys 🙂

I’m usually a bmw guy but just bought my Xterra,
I absolutely love it!

5 speed manual, 4wd non supercharged v6, big ass sub in the back.

I 3d scan and design shit on the side and I’m trying to think of ideas for stuff I could make!
