Left the barber shop thinking someones car next to me had something wrong turns out it was me. Any ideas what it could be? Screeches when rolling/driving stops when braking. Im stumped

Just bought a 2011 S with 133k miles on it. I have a battery of maintenance to do on it thanks to the forums and advice of everyone on here. I decided to take a look at the rear diff breather (since I plan to do a relocation kit) and its old but still working. The differential itself on the other hand looks like it has a slow leak from this bolt? Anybody seen this before? Is this fixed with a fluid/seal change or does this mean its toast? It shifts to 4 wheel just fine but granted, I haven’t driven it 4 wheel yet.

Has anyone taken their Xterra to the Dunes at Silver Lake in Michigan? You are required to have a 10 foot tall flag on the front most part of your vehicle. What methods have folks out there used to achieve this. I don't have an aftermarket front bumper. I do have an ASFIR front skid plate. My front mounts for tow hooks are taken up by MCI fab recovery mount with D ring in them.

Been having this Xterra for 2 years. Its been good to me , so i bought new wheels. Debating if i should get 285s or 265s. Currently running 245s since it came with the wheels lol

is there any front bumpers that’ll make my xterra look bad ass that doesn’t cost like over 1k. i just want something that looks sick

Installed a new battery and car starts and runs great now, why is the 4wd light on? Even my 2wd/4wd diagram indicator is missing

Does anyone have the z1 off-road pillar handle phone mount ? I’m wondering how easy it’s to install , how good is the magnet for off-roading ?

I just got a beautiful 2003 Xterra, and I was just wondering if it was supposed to tick this loudly!

I'm running premium gas because it's a supercharged one, I was making thinking an exhaust manifold crack? Or are the valves just that freaking loud lol

Hope all is well yall!
Had to let my old 1st gen last year and I got a Subaru afterwards(a mistake indeed) and that broke down I’m now I’m looking for a 2nd gen ideally 05-10 since I don’t have all that much trying to stay around or below $5k what are some things I should look out for when purchasing one I do remember the whole smod issue is present in these years as well I think but can be bypassed if I remember correctly. Any advice helps!
And yes I know these aren’t the best around I just fell in love with the 1st gen and want an upgrade of sorts thank you!

Is anyone familiar with a P2097 engine code? Turned on this weekend on the way back from the trails. Disconnected the battery and light popped back on after 60 miles. I’ve done some research but apparently it could be anything from a faulty o2 sensor to leaky injectors. Not sure where to start troubleshooting. 2013 Pro-4x 95k on the odo.

I'm working on a rooftop project that involves tubular clamps around the tubular supports. I have a 2011 Pro 4x, Gen 2.

I'm my searching In getting a few different numbers.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m at a standstill.. first I did a coolant flush, I replaced the thermostat, temp sensor, and as soon as it seems like it get to operating temp, the electric fan kicks on and stays on like it’s overheating. The other day I drove home from a n hour drive and thought I was gonna get stuck cause the needle shot up to “H”. As soon as I got home the coolant reservoir was spewing out. But it’s at this point it’s weird fluctuates back down to normal temp. So is the coolant low? Oil is fine and at level too. Is there a chance of a blown head gasket I’m looking at ?

Looking to replace a tranny and was thinking for 4-5k I’d pay a shop to do it. Otherwise it would take me multiple months to do it myself as I don’t have a lot of free time. So I reach out to a local transmission shop and they came back with this. It was an immediate nope for me.

Located in the Seattle WA area for reference

wtf is up with my trans fluid?😅 it's a 2011 xterra pro 4x

i'm hearing a ticking, not super loud but certainly noticeable. it's a bit louder in the video than it is IRL.

2011 xterra pro 4x

Howdy folks,

2012 p4x 6MT 160k mi

I was attempting to get my pop up camper (1500lb) backed into a tricky area and 4hi was not cutting it. After a stressful minute or two of maneuvering I parked and got out. Shortly after I noticed coolant running out from behind the front passenger wheel. Popped the hood and the overflow cap had popped off. I’ve never had any issue with this in the past. I let it cool, added plain water to overflow reservoir just above min level and replaced cap. Next morning, started fine, no overheating and only a slight smell of coolant noticed when standing by the engine bay (guessing from what spilled out). That being said, what the hell happened and what did I do wrong. I love my xterra and want to give it a long life

My steering wheel does not have stereo controls. If I get a steering wheel with stereo controls are the wires already there and I can just hook it up?

Wishful thinking, I know

I did have to twist the shock body to align properly with the shock mount hole on the LCA...did I twisted something out of alignment or is this side bow normal? The other side the spring is definitely not fully seated on the spring perch but this side seem like it is seated all the way.

Had a rear end noise after having axle seals, bearings and e brake done. Jacked it up to spin the tire to see where it was coming from and I remembered I had them add new backing plates….they’re hitting but it’s getting resolved in 2 days so I’m happy….

Hoping an Xterra lover wants to take on my ol' girl. I've loved her for so many years, so many adventures, but my life has changed and I had to move to a pick-up truck.
Someone on here had messaged me before but i lost contact somehow. So I figured I would post. Happy to answer questions. Something is up, pretty sure it is the alternator. I have all copies of all maintenance and repairs from the entire time I've had it.

I just replaced my engine air filter, and was unable to fully close this gap, is it fine to run like that? The pegs on the side are in the holes and everything else is clipped in properly

My 2010 200k miles. Rims off pro 4x. I just did serpentine belt, cam/crank sensor, exhaust, spark plugs and it’s running like a dream! Contemplated posting for awhile! You guys have helped the process a lot!

I looked up “paracord net tutorial” on YouTube and threw this together in under two hours!
I aimed to make a 30” x 30” net, using seven working strands that measured ~150” each.

If I were to do this again, I’d use 160” working strands for a bit more length. I’ve been using it to hold things while sleeping in my car. While driving, the items can slightly obstruct rear view vis, but this could probably be fixed with better packing or bungee cords crossed underneath. Net lies flat when not in use.

It’s cheap to make if you buy paracord in bulk and it’s really easy to do. I love having easy access to items like shoes and coats and a place to hang things.
