    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Thanks!! The Xterra you're looking at is priced pretty average for its age and milage. In all honesty, you'd probably be fine if you wanted something moderate. The C200 axle is pretty decent, and you can get an airlocker in it the stock diff or swap the Pro4X's Dana E-Locker into it if it ever...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    In other news, the main X hasn't really changed much BUT has gotten some new prototype fun parts...more on that later. Here are some random filler pictures until then. For more frequent updates, follow along on IG at @Xterra.exe DSC00399.jpg by Matt Yates, on Flickr DSC00404.jpg by Matt...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Now the Xterra has another friend. Back in December, I picked up this Knight Armor Grey 2012 Pro4X from a local that was selling it in a Facebook group after it had been involved in a pretty minor accident. Most of the parts I already needed were sitting in my shed from the installation of the...

    Monstar's 2018 Armada build

    Looking good. I love the wheel choice.

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Small(ish) update: I installed the Dobinsons IMS coilovers at the end of August, and they are pretty awesome. I'm really happy with how they perform on and offroad. Haven't had much of a chance to go wheeling lately. I was planning on going to Windrock a few months ago, but ironically got...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    The last few months have been somewhat uneventful, not much has changed other than what I've broken and replaced. (Mostly fog lights) It's getting ready to go into the shop for timing chains and gallery gaskets since the VTC sprockets have started making noise. We suspect gallery gaskets are...

    A little late to the response, but yes that was a typo on my end. They are 17x8.5.

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    I can certainly agree with you on the OE tuned Bilstein shocks, they were definitely way too soft. It's sitting comfortably at 2.5'' right now, we're running OME leafs so I'm not too concerned with the rear suspension. The front certainly needs more droop travel, but that will be something we...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    SO small...uh....big update: Xterra is jacked-ish. We drove up north to Franklin, Tennessee a month or so ago to visit with our friends at Nissan and take part in one of our Motorsports events, ZCON. The night before we were up cutting fenders to fit the 295/70's under the front. Front...

    I'm stoked and hoping we get a bumper like the one shown on the Frontier.

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    It's been pretty quiet in X land here....we've been working through a few cool things, nothing that is really ready to be talked about. I'm still waiting on some lift parts to come in from ARB, in the meantime I decided to go ahead and snag wheels and tires so come lift time, it's all ready...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Yeah I've learned that the water/mud doesn't mix with stock height Xterra's (emphasis on stock height haha) I've slung the belt twice. Previous owner installed a new belt, tensioner, fan clutch, etc before I bought it. The tensioner was aftermarket so I assumed it probably has a weak spring and...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    My girlfriend and I found a trail a little north of us last week so we took it out for some light duty action. Ended up slinging the belt driving back through a nice deep mud puddle so we had to drive it back out of the trail on battery with no power steering which sucked. About 15 minutes at...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Yeah, UpRev isn't a common name unless you're used to Nissan and Infiniti's sports cars (Z's G35's, etc.) We haven't done anything else yet, probably going to test intake manifold spacer and work towards doing an exhaust. The merge on the y-pipe really is garbage so it should be easy to make a...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Alright, so elaborating more on the tune....bear in mind this is a bone stock X, in fact it even had a dirty Fram air filter in it. We strapped it to the rollers to get a baseline and tune with UpRev. If you aren't familiar, UpRev is a tuning software that we use on our Motorsports side to tune...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    Eventually I'd like to Titan swap it, VK56, the whole deal but that's a long way out. The first immediate change will be suspension. We took it out wheeling this past week and as expected, it needed ground clearance almost as much as it needed tires. OME springs and leafs as well as Bilstein...

    Xterra Pro4X Build - Offroad Adventuring

    I guess this post will double as my introduction. Hey guys, the names Matt. I work for a company in West GA that some of you may or may not have heard of called Z1 Motorsports, we also launched a truck segment called Z1 Offroad focused on support for Nissan's trucks and SUV like Frontier...
