    TGPWS 8: Hope it can only get better.

    I have very limited cellular internet here in Cape Coral- the eye of Hurricane Ian passed about 10 miles north of my house - very quiet- and you could almost see the sun- we had 6 hrs 100-115 mph winds - if our homes weren’t built with steel reinforced concrete masonry construction , the homes...

    What have you done for your X?

    I had new tires installed yesterday- 235/70R16, a downsize from the factory 255's, they are 9.25" wide instead of 10" - the ride is much better, and a bit more nimble feel to the steering. The height is exactly the same at the stock tires. I'll put the $10 closeout Gabriel shocks from Rock...

    New Guy

    Welcome! I'm retired and I just bought a 21 yr old stock Xterra, that had not been modded or molested. I won't change much, but will probably upgrade to a modern radio, solar panel on the racks, power inverter, W/ RV battery. I'm still on the fence about the LED color change light strips under...

    The accidental 2001 Xterra purchase

    Thank you all- I am glad I landed in this forum- since 2014 I have been active on the HHR, Avalanche, Honda Element, Dodge Journey/minivan forums. The Element was a bit dangerous to drive, IMO, due to the subpar cockpit visibility and high center of gravity/short wheelbase. No problems like that...

    The accidental 2001 Xterra purchase

    Hello X'ers! I retired from Chrysler in Kokomo, Indiana, in 2008. I was an industrial electrician. Now living since 2009 in SW Florida. Last month, I was getting the oil changed on my 2020 Dodge Journey with 13,800 miles and the dealer offered to buy it- I slept on it, then went to Carmax and...
