The first metal band I ever listened to was Carcass. I'm mostly into Power, Progressive, Symphonic, Black and Death Metal. Not into Metalcore and I don't like at all Avenge Sevenfold.

Welcome to the community. Nice rigs! I bet that Forester was/is a lot of fun on the dirt!

Welcome from the desert dry of Nevada.

No worries problem solved months ago. The drilled hole where the cotter pin goes through was too low leaving a gap. Because I had installed both, I couldn't return them due to installation wear. So I went to Home Depot and picked up a pack of 3/4 in. flat washers and put two on each side to fill...

Alright. I ordered a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter and a 1 7/8 socket for the lower ball joint and it finally came in. So I was finally able to tighten up the LBJ and finish the rest (ball joints and tie rods) on the driver side. But I'm a bit concerned with the new lower ball joint I installed. Once I put...

I held the knuckle because with the top ball joint off it would slant to the side and downwards, so I had to hold it evenly while the roommate grabbed the hammer and tie rod separator and hammered down on it next to the lower ball joint. The knuckle slowly started to slide down. Then I went at...

You're right Bklyn.X. Just been 4 days of wrestling with it. I finally got it off with the help of my roommate. It took two of us to do the job. Now I can finally focus replacing both and then the other side.

Well, day 4 and nothing. Tried every tip given here and nothing. I keep spending more money on tools and I'm getting no where. I've burnt myself out to the point i lost interest in this project. I'm not interested in throwing any more of my time and money at this and getting little to no...

I was hoping to avoid heating the knuckle. I will try the other suggestion with the piece of wood. I was also thinking, maybe if I remove the lower control from the frame I can slide out the axle and then use my ball joint press kit to take it out of the control arm.

Hey all. I'm trying to replace the ball joints on the upper and lower control arm. I've managed to pry apart the upper ball joint, but the damn lower ball joint and knuckle won't separate from each other so I can remove the cv axle from the knuckle and the knuckle from the ball joints. I've...

Hopefully these help. I'm not sure what circular thing you are referring to behind the intake (manifold?).

I thought I'd share about this information in case people are not aware. I also have no idea where to post this so I figured this would be the best spot. For those who have a 2nd Gen Xterra. I found out about ShadowWolf through one of Nissan Nation Production's video: View...

Pretty subtle spot. It almost looks like it actually came from the factory like that. Only thing I would find concern with it that low is it interfering with a skid plate. But a great spot if you are going to do light rock crawling.

How are the inner/outer tie rods, control arm bushings (upper/lower) and also the ball joints upper and lower? Even the stabalizer/swaybar end links?

If I were in your position, I would Titan swap the engine. Or maybe go with a VG33ER.

I might do the same thing with my head liner because it's pealing off mostly on the driver side. I was just going to pick up some adhesive spray and temporarily stick back up there, but I like what you did.

That was the first thing I did the day after I bought mine. Yanked out the front seats and the center console and cleaned them the day after I bought mine. Then the next day I cleaned the whole carpet with dish soap and water using a brush. Same with the steering wheel, A/C vents, infotainment...

Hey to all members in this forum community. Like roxterra, I myself have bought a 2001 XE trim 4wd with 215k miles. I got for exactly a grand. It runs and drives but does need some touch ups because the last two previous owners didn't really put much care into this vehicle. Now it's mine and...
