Man, I've been away for a long time! But the decks are finally cleared, and I'm ready to get back to work on GREENIE. Sooo . . . first thing is to install the set of WARN locking hubs I scored at Pick'n'Pull last year. I probably need to order the 29061 service kit from WARN, but I'm not sure...

Is the 1st gen Xterra engine oil dipstick the hardest one to read accurately that has ever been invented? I would say no, but a close second. The only worse one I have personally encountered was in a 1991 Ford Festiva, which was basically a wire coat hanger with one end slightly flattened...

OK, somebody tell me how to get to the upper seatbelt anchor on the B pillar? I can get the cover popped loose, but I can't get it far enough away from the inside of the pillar to get to the bolts that attach it to the body. Logic tells me there is something I don't know, or some easy trick to...

Question: Did the early 1st gens (00-01) have seatbelt switches on both front seats, or just the driver's side? Background: I removed the old seats from my '01 several months ago, and discarded them, as they were pretty worn-out, stinky and gross. I scored a nice set of leather seats out of...

I was wondering: Would the interior carpet out of a 2004 X with an automatic work in a 2001 with a manual trans? I know the years shouldn't make any difference, but would the console and shifter boot in the manual truck cover the holes in the carpet out of an automatic trans vehicle? Anybody...

My wife's Xterra is an XE model that did not come equipped with the fog lights. However, her X does have the wiring stubs for the fog lights. Recently, I scored a nice set of fog lights at Pick'n'Pull, (same vehicle I got the leather seats out of, btw) along with the turn signal switch...

Who has done it, what vendor and product did you use, and how well did it fit? Has anyone used a carpet set from stockinteriors.com? https://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoCarpet.asp?Itemid=17952&ModelId=738 I'm almost kind of thinking about vinyl flooring like my F150 has in it. Has anyone gone...

I am pretty stoked about these: A really nice set of leather seats out of a 2004 SE s/c Xterra. Not perfect, but pretty darned good condition for being 15 years old. I dropped in about 3 days after this particular vehicle hit the lot. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them, especially...

This afternoon, I upgraded the driver's seat in my wife's 2002 Xterra XE with an adjustable seat from a SE that I scored at Pick'nPull. What should have been a simple swap was complicated by the replacement having a hole worn in the outer edge of this lower pad. I was relieved to find that...

Saw these on eBay . . . . Has this guy been hitting the crack pipe? . . . or are these as rare and hard to find as he insinuates? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tail-Light-For-2000-2004-Nissan-Xterra-With-OEM-Guards/254195432420?hash=item3b2f3a7be4:g:oSAAAOSwGjtcrdO4 I've got a set of these that...

So, I popped over to Pick'n'Pull yesterday afternoon, because I saw they had another Xterra hit the yard last week. I'm still looking for a nice rust-free, undented rear bumper for my '01 "Greenie". Also looking for the retractable cargo cover that goes behind the rear seat. Anyways, when I...

What is this thing that is mounted inside the right frame rail back by the bumper, and what does it do? I have not been able to find it on any diagrams I've brought up on the 'net, and there are no ID numbers on it. I assume it has something to do with venting the fuel system?

So, I hit U-PULL-IT Friday after work, and scored a nice receiver hitch off of a 04 Xterra. Factory NISSAN with minimal rust and the plastic step pad intact. All mounting hardware as well, for approx. $20.00. This hitch looks more "heavy duty" than the one off my wife's X. I had always...

A buddy of mine grabbed this stuff for me while he was at Pick'N'Pull over the weekend. All together, $26 out the door (plus a small finder's fee for him). As I recall, those rubber mats were pretty pricey from the dealer. And my wife's X never had that rear cargo-area mat. SHe's gonna be...

I wasn't sure exactly where to post this; it's not an Xterra, and I'm not trying to sell it, so I shied away from the CAR LOT, and the Craigslist Finds thread is in the PARTS COUNTER. SO . . . I figured here is as good as anyplace. Standard disclaimer: I do not own this vehicle, or have any...

So my buddy tells me this morning at work that he spotted a 2003 Xterra at Pick'N'Pull that had some really good condition seats in it. Cool. Strange thing is that he swears they were GREEN (Exterior was green as well; from his description, it sounded like "Canteen Green"). Now every Xterra...

What's the best way to remove the old gunk and where can I easily source the correct type of adhesive to reapply the badge? Had to replace the badge on the wife's X due to thechrome finish peeling off. Thanks

Specifically, is there any difference between the long T-rod used to lower the spare tire between the Gen1 and the Gen2? Mine just broke, and I'm looking for a replacement. Most of the ones I see on the Bay say they are for Gen2, but they look the same. Maybe the length is different? Anybody...

So, a couple weeks ago I purchased this green 2001 Xterra SE 5-speed 4x4 as a project. I've been wanting an Xterra with a stick for a long time, but I had to wait until I could find one that was cheap enough that I could rationalize buying a vehicle I definitely didn't need. So here it is, in...
