Well the quick answer is there is not a whole lot of space and I cut the hell out of the tray in the console:


As for whats behind the trim at the bottom:




In order to cut it I had to remove the front half of the console and took a hacksaw and a Dremel to it. I just cut a little at a time until it fit the Cobra in there.



I also cut a few slits in the piece under the VDC switch and put the radio bracket through there to secure the Cobra side to side.The Cobra just fits and is pretty secure. I've been though some rough terrain and it hasn't budged. I have the power hooked into the fuse box with a tap. I do plan on getting an external speaker since the speaker is on the bottom of the radio and muffles it. I can hear it but I need to turn down the stereo though.

I want to do the rims in a matte black and the plastic trim in matte or satin black. Ive seen where some have used bedliner, however I dont really need bedliner all over my X. What is a good paint to use on the rims? How about on the bumpers and trim? And will blacks match?

So I have a 2 inch lifted xterra sitting on 33's. Just wondering if there are any jacking points I can use a hi-lift on on a stock xterra. I am planning on buying the hi-lift for the occasional tire rotation and off roading, but I don't have any sliders, or after market bumpers.

Should I buy a hi-lift now, or maybe look into a regular jack stand? If yes for the hi-lift, where on the xterra can I use to lift the truck? Will the regular spot on the side of the frame with the arrow work with a hi-lift? ]]> General Xterra ray666 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64114 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64113&goto=newpost Sat, 18 May 2013 07:56:09 GMT I just bought my new to me X a couple weeks ago.

I had an 01 SE 2wd in high school and fell in love with the thing, unfortunately real world commuting forced me to sell it at 150k miles. I missed the thing and always wanted the new X but commutes kept me confined to cars. Well after a round of day drinking with some friends I finally pulled the trigger and traded my 10 Mazdaspeed 3 on a black 08 Xterra S 2wd with 54k on it. I mainly just use it as a commuter car, occasionally I use to first respond with my VFD or pull the occasional trailer on the farm. I'm looking forward to taking this X to the 200k mile range and maybe more. ]]> Welcome Center LJK0916 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64113 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64112&goto=newpost Sat, 18 May 2013 04:11:32 GMT Looking for Yakima X Towers. they look like this: Image: http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g443/phippsrb/IMG_0075.jpg I need four of them....

I have a 2006 Nissan Xterra. The other day I got off to the store and when I came back the A/c would not turn on. The compressor spins up, and I hear a faint pop by the glove box.

I read somewhere that it could be the blower motor resistor. I bought a new one and popped it in and same result. I unscrewed the blower motor and turned it on with it in my hand and it did not spin.

I'm thinking it's either the motor or a relay in the fuse box under the hood. The relay reads "Front Blower."

Question is, how do I get that relay off to test it? I tried it but it wont budge, and once I have it off do you guys know how to test with a multimeter?

Any help is appreciated, Houston is starting to get really hot and I have a little baby girl that I won't be able to take with me to some places without A/C.

Can someone tell me how I can get rid of the old farm equipment noise.

Every so often I get this noise, sounds like it's coming from the shackles. I usually drench the leaf sprigs and shackles with some type of lube but it always comes back after two or three weeks. I can only hear it at low speed, specially when I go over bumps.

Thanks. ]]> tripng http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64107 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64106&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 20:29:22 GMT For people running 285/70-17 on OEM wheels, any rubbing with the frame ?

I learned today, while speaking to a wheel alignment tech at Nissan dealer that the OEM backspacing for 16" is 5.22, and for 17" is 5.43, so the 17 is slightly deeper inside, and more chance of touching the frame with a bigger tire. ]]> Brakes, Tires and Wheels zeiter http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64106 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64105&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 20:25:13 GMT Got two quick questions for everyone.

The first is wondering if anyone has gone the route of a full debadge and then replacement with decals only, and if so, if you regret doing that or what. I am making a lot of plans for what I can do with the new X (and because of this horrible delay waiting - I have a lot of time to think), and one of the things I have considered is removing the badges and just use decals from Graveyard Graphics. I was already planning on getting 4x4 and OFF ROAD anyways, and so thought about just doing everything the same. But I wanted to see what others, whom have done it, think about it.

Second question - for those that went with decals from Graveyard Graphics and got black, did you go with the glossy or the flat? Right now, I am considering the glossy black because of the paint job of the vehicle is glossy and thought the flat may not go well. But again, wanted to go off the experience from you.

I have some interesting sticker plans that I have been working with Todd on, and can't wait to share. But I want to share once they are on the vehicle to give me a reason to post a vehicle build page. Can't afford any major mods that I would love to do, and with my back disability, I get limited fast on what physical options I have. But the decals are the first way I plan on personalizing the new X.

Thanks greatly!

The... I have a 2012 Pro-4x....last night I knew I was getting low on gas so I kept it on the DTE screen just so I knew how many miles I had left. The screen said I had about 15 miles left on the tank, the gauge was almost on E and the gas light didn't come on nor did my dte blink at me(usually the gas like comes on with about 20 miles left on the tank and my dte screen keeps blinking at me.) When I finally got down to 7 miles left the dte started blinking and my gas light came on. I stopped at a gas station and just got $10 worth of gas so I got a little over 3 gallons. My dte stayed at 7 and stopped blinking but my gas gauge went up to just under a 1/4 of a tank and my gas light turned off. This morning driving to work it was still just a little under 1/4 (gas light wasn't on) but my dte said I had 4 miles let on the tank. I stopped to fill it up and after that it seemed the dte was working fine. Was just curios if anything like this has happened to anyone else? ]]> General Xterra xterragirl12 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64104 http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64103&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 17:08:10 GMT I know this question might be irrelevant to users on this site, as I don't think there is room to fit a 33" x12.50 on 11" wide wheel, but I'll ask for the sake of information. 33x12.50 requires rim between 8.5" and 11" wide. And on few Jeep forums, most users seem to prefer 8" or 8.5" over 10" or 11" wide for off roading. Could not find the correct reason. Is it better to have the narrower one for rim protection, or tire sidewall protection , or is it the way the tire hugs the terrain ? Or is it strictly personal preference ? ]]> Brakes, Tires and Wheels zeiter http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64103
