All the time.
I've done SO much more work on my Xterra than I ever did my Cherokee.

But regardless, going to a Jeep eventually was always the plan. And I'm thinking sooner rather than later should be the plan.

We'll see, might still be wheeling it next year. Just seeing what I can do.

We rule and Jeep forums suck, just FYI

Sigh......i get it? I guess?
I like my Xterra. But it took a BEATING. And I lucked up and found parts to get it back together pretty reasonably. But it's so frustrating shopping for parts. Jeep axle: $150. Badass upgraded jeep axle: $200. Stupid stock Nissan axle shaft: $500 and wait 3 weeks.

SYE? No.
T-case? 14 damn bolts and pull the cross member.

I'm just getting frustrated that everything is a compromise.

It's get a Jeep or stick Jeep axles and an ATLAS II in my Xterra but then I'm still running a bastard rear shaft and sprung under rear. And I'm still gonna want a top less and doorless ride when I'm at the beach.

Like I said. I get it. That's another reason I went full Titan on all 4 corners. Parts are a lot less scarce.

And the topless / doorless thing is a huge draw. That's really the only thing I miss about having a Heep. And has me wanting to make the doors on the X removable. Haha.

Nothing is affordable right now. I've seen 1st gen X's with roughly the same miles as mine in not as good of shape for over 5. I paid 2300 three and half years ago
That's the thing right now. You can probably make a lot of money selling but then if you're looking to buy something else, you're back in a bind.

Holy shiat! I wasn't even close just looked and there's a SC 04 with 200000 for 6900 and a 04 with 220000 for 6500. Mine had right around 204000 when I bought it

At this point in my wheeling life, if I ever sell the X I'm going backwards. Older. Old Patrol, Box Body Bronco, 2-Door Pathy, and if I did another Heep it'd be YJ. And I'd just have an absolute toy and then I'd buy a daily driver that could tow said toy.

I found a YJ that's an option for me. 88, 4.2L, TF999 auto. NC vehicle. Price is a little high but it's a pretty rare bird too.

But what I WANT is a LJ Rubicon. Yeah they're pricy, but a 4" kit and 35s and it's done.

Nah, what you should do is list it low and sell it to Kirk. And then when he comes to pick it up, cover it in butterfly stickers. Like, everywhere. Like, if there is a single millimeter of body panel still visible, you have failed sort of everywhere...
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie

The problem with the 88 is carburetor. 91-95 is fuel injected.

Of course if the frame and tub are good, I'd swap in a v8 anyway.

Good luck finding an LJ Rubi that hasn't been abused.
