    Let's talk Knives; The overdue thread.

    Picked up one of the newest versions of the Bailout recently. I'm not sure why I never purchased a Bailout before because it is now probably close to one of my favorite BMs, right there next to the 940. I threw a Lynch clip on it, to match the coating on the blade.

    Heater issues

    As @Prime suggested, top off the coolant, then drive it for a couple of days and top it off again.

    coolant leak.

    Is the thermostat actually OE or is it a different brand? Non-OEM thermostats don't get along with the Xterra very well. Did you place the pressure cap on your coolant reservoir and the non-pressure cap on the radiator? How well is the system bled/burped?

    Any recommendations on a high mileage transmission fluid?

    If you are going to purchase a few knives per year, I'd recommend becoming a coin member at It's Not a Knife, it's a Benchmade. The member pricing is under $230 for the Full Auto. I think the owner gives a similar discount to coin members as to what the first responder/military discount is...

    Finally received my Full Auto Immunity last week, after waiting since January of last year when I pre-ordered it. Luckily, I got in on the pre-order, with the military discount, and was able to pay significantly less than what they're going for now. She's small, but she's mighty and maybe...

    The bump reminds me that I picked up this little guy a few weeks ago. The knife isn't really something I was dying to own, but since they were available, I thought I would check it out.

    Getting ready to do maintenance....

    3. & 6. : All three are drain and fill until coming out of the fill plug hole. Make sure you loosen fill plugs, prior to removing drain plugs. Xfer case comes off the transmission, but it's not hard to find the fill/drain plugs. 4. Make sure you are properly bleeding the brakes. The Xterra...
