Replying to: jayrider (Mar 28, 2009 11:25 am) Xterra is a truck, not a crossover. The front diff is always locked when in 4x4 which makes it much more capable when off road Replies to this message: jayrider (Mar 30, 2009 7:20 am) Boris2 (Mar 30, 2009 7:47 am) jayrider (Mar 30, 2009 12:15 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: Boris2 (Mar 29, 2009 3:22 pm) My jeep liberty with selec-trac has both full time and part time awd. I would have bought the xterra if that option was offered. I never go off road but could. Using the part time really restricts you to very severe traction conditions. The drive train binds up in turns if the traction improves. Oh well -- corporate knows best. Just a note. I recently swapped out the shocks on my liberty for bilsteins and the improvement was dramatic. The ride is less jittery with better control and grat dampening. Rides like a euro suv. You can get them for xterras for 239 a set free shipping at shox.com.

Replying to: Boris2 (Mar 30, 2009 7:47 am) Yes rear wheel drive until I engage the shift lever which has part time and full time options. there is also a super low setting for climbing rough terrain very slowly. The all wheel drive is not 50/50 but the part time locks the wheels so they all are turning together which is a problem when turning on good traction surfaces.I assume that is also the case with the 4x4 xterra. Get a set of bilsteins and you'll never trade in your xterra. Replies to this message: Boris2 (Mar 30, 2009 12:39 pm)

Replying to: jayrider (Mar 30, 2009 12:15 pm) Yes, it definitely is a problem on X as well as on any other truck with always locked front diff. In fact, I've seen pics of cracked front diffs which happens when you drive with them locked on dry pavement too much.   I got Off Road edition - it comes with nice set of shocks. Probably not quite as good as bilsteins but they'll do for now I will consider replacing them with something better when it's time to get them replaced though.

Replying to: cj40 (Apr 17, 2001 7:20 pm) I bought window deflectors straight from Nissan for my 2008 Exterra; and although I have directions, a couple of the diagrams are impossible to understand. They have the glue tape and metal brackets that connect to the top of the window. Can anyone tell me if these are SUPPOSED to be positioned about 1/2" BELOW the top of the door opening? Seems like they'd look best if they were mounted along the top of the door. Could anyone send me a picture of how the finished product looks on their vehicle? If I can see what it's suppose to look like when done, think I'll understand better. I'm afraid to begin the process for fear of messing it up! njohnson169myway.com Thanks!
