That’s literally what my doctor said to me a couple months ago. He told me I didn’t have diabetes, but given my high blood pressure and festively plump build, I am cruising toward it. So he said, “get fit or die.” So I started walking more and eating better. Actually, I wasn’t eating bad, but...

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Nisstec and PRG U-bolt flip kits? They look identical online, but the PRG is about $30 more expensive. I'm not against paying more if it's worth it. I've read reviews online, but many of them are 5-6 years old or older. Which one do you have, and...

Our new (to us) VW Jetta TDI, the YETTI. The price was right. My wife’s parents didn’t want it, so now we have it. Trouble is, it was absolutely disgusting inside. My wife’s uncle had been living in the car for nearly a year while his paperwork for work abroad was finalized. And he vaped in This...

I’ve been around the internet’s trying to find a cheaper alternative than paying $1200-$1300 for a new plastic air dam on the P4X. I mean, seriously? I could buy an entire aftermarket roof rack for that price. I’m trying to see if there is a part number for just the molded plastic without the...

I discovered today that a couple of the screws holding the roof rack fairing in place turn freely, but won’t come out. I’ve read that the nutserts go through the roof. Are they accessible from inside? I need to get a vise grip on them to get them out and replace them, but the factory service...

Earth is beautiful. My wife and I plan on getting back into hiking after a couple years hiatus.

Our poor college car is a 2007 Saturn Ion. Bone stock. Bought it brand new in, well, 2007. Nothing fancy. Just an A to B car in every respect. The Xterra is basically our do all vehicle. But we don’t drive it much really. I think I’ve put 200 miles on it in the last 3 months. But the vehicle I...

I've been up and down the HOW TO lists on the forum, and didn't see this one. So I'm going to go over the finer points of cracking open that relay box in front of the IPDM box, and replacing relay sockets, including terminating the ends and installing the new ones. You might find yourself...

I’m trying to find the part number for this relay socket that sits in the relay box, just in front of the IPDM. I have been trying to find it on various Nissan forms and parts diagrams without any luck. It clicks right into the factory relay box and fits a Bosch relay perfectly.

I’m pretty sure they meant reserve tank. Or reservoir tank. But nobody would spell reserver tank on purpose. Even Apple spellcheck is like “WTF?! What are you trying to write?!” :D Spell Check > Nissan Side note: the other side says “Never difficulty on the tank” in French. I’m not sure if...

I did some diligence to see if anyone had already posted a topic on removing and replacing your OEM headlight housings, but I didn't see any. Since I'm fastidious when it comes to documenting and photographing repair jobs, I thought I'd share in case you need to replace your faded, cracked, or...

Man, we had a snowstorm the other day, and we got hit with brown snow. Not a very common thing here, but our winter has been pretty dry. So wind storms out in the west desert are stirring up the dirt and salt and sending it our way. Mix in snow and you have every car in the region looking like...

Looks like I have an excuse to ditch the factory radio. Maybe I’ll get one of those fancy Kenwood nav units I’ve seen.

This post is in addition to my other post regarding heated mirrors. To remove the door trim without damaging it, I have documented the process in order to help you. Note: some of these pictures I took with the back of the trim piece facing the camera. You already know what the normal side looks...

How to: Heated Mirrors Before we begin, let’s get some necessary part numbers out of the way. Driver side mirror: 96366-EA16A Passenger side mirror: 96365-EA16A Connector for IPDM: Corsa brand 58M-SKT2 18 gauge primary wire, black and red (I found two 40 ft rolls at Autozone for about $8 each)...

I am trying to locate a Nissan part number, or at least a style so I can order elsewhere, for the little metal terminals inside the harness connector for the IPDM. I’ve searched online with no real options. I called a Nissan dealership, and he said Nissan doesn’t sell the individual terminals...

Well here is something different. I posted it on my vehicle thread, but I like it so much that I figure some others here might like it too. Wireless charging in the X. We are fancy now. The wireless charging module. Got it off eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174365151706 Adhered it to the...

Caught some photos from our neighborhood as we were being ordered to evacuate. The backyard shot is from our next door neighbor’s camera. It caught the fire coming right up to our property lines. Wow!

Hi all, I’ve got some questions about where the OEM recovery Hook is located on the Xterra, and perhaps I could tap into some tribal knowledge and experience here. it seems to me like the factory tow Hook is bolted to the bottom of the crumple zone on the frame? My initial thought was to...

Hello, name’s James, and here’s my Xterra. It’s nothing fancy for now. My wife and I picked it up last September. Here’s the specs on it: Make: Nissan Year: 2015 Model: Xterra Trim: Pro-4X Color: Anodized Orange Metallic (EAF) Code Name: Xterra Rising
