Not mine, but pretty nice set-up |
|
Quoted: How capable is an Xterra? It's not a Jeep Wrangler, but it's a very capable vehicle for a decent daily driver/off-roading blend. Unlike a Wrangler it actually has cargo space, better for a BOV. The OR version has factory skid plates, Bilstein shocks, a rear diff locker and 32" tires. All stock. Front independent suspension gives great on-road performance but doesn't perform as good as a solid front axle for off-road. Basically, don't expect it to be a dedicated rock crawler, but it will do some pretty amazing shit off-road. The only issue with the 2005+ is the weak front diff. But the 265hp/285 ft/lbs. is nice!!! Basically a stroked 4.0L V6 from the 350Z.
