5 new tires and one alignment later, it drives a lot better! I ended up getting Nokian Outpost AT for their, well, affordability. Definitely still a huge upgrade from the seven year old unevenly worn tires that were previously on it. I was surprised by how close the alignment was to being OK...

Passed emissions this morning! Started a build thread - https://www.xterranation.org/index.php?threads/mack-press-media-rig.10658/

Username: mack_press Make: Nissan Year: 2007 Model: Xterra Trim: S Color: Black Code Name: tbd/pending Mods: Nothing really completed so far that's "mod" but I've spent a lot of time under it already and I've got some big vague plans. I do rally photography for fun, so I want this to carry a...

Northern Spy is the best baking apple, but for eating raw I'd go with the smallest U of M variety I can find - https://mnhardy.umn.edu/varieties/fruit/apples/all-apple-varieties - they're the ones that developed Honeycrisp which is, of course, a great apple but it's kinda big. It's a lot easier...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll seriously consider any ideas at this point, but unfortunately it's not enough - they are off right now. It's rotated wrong. My pictures aren't very clear about the issue, I can't figure out an angle that really shows the whole problem. I'm currently working on...

Problem now at the other flange instead. Leaving it like this for the night.

Camping went great. Emissions issue resolution, not so good, still in progress. After several attempts to fix it myself by replacing or cleaning various parts, I took it to the local Nissan dealership and paid for a diagnostic. The cats are illegal aftermarket pieces of crap. I took them out...

What I've done so far, yesterday and the day before: - Replaced engine air filter & cabin air filters - Changed oil (and oil filter) - Replaced both upstream O2 sensors - Replaced serpentine belt & its tensioner - Cleaned the throttle body - Cleaned the MAF sensor - Replaced spark plugs -...

downstream or upstream? or all of them?

Pulled the codes myself (I got the three I previously mentioned in the emissions report) and there's also a pending code for P0171 (System too Lean Bank 1) Thanks Prime for the O2 sensor suggestion - that's a fix I can probably do myself (did it on my other car a couple of years ago) so I'm...

Thanks for the welcomes... unfortunately I failed emissions this morning. Hoping I don't have to replace the cats... P0300, P0420, P0430 and high NOx.

I flew out to CA on Saturday to check this out, and I bought it! Canceled my return flight and drove it home. Got a windshield chip on the way but no other new damage... definitely started out with several to-do items on this! Going camping this weekend so I'm gonna be in a bit of a rush for the...
