Greetings all from the land o sand....Dubai.
I am a South African (Go Bokke) living in Dubai whois a proud owner a 07 Xterra SE.
I think the specs are different here in Dubai, firstly the sound system is merely the 6 disk changer with 6 speaker sound system, no AVLS or traction control nor airbags in the pillars, however there is ABS and apparently 270 HP/5600 Net.
Could it be possible that they have tweaked the mill a bit as there are no stringent pollution regulations?
After my first thou service I did wonder off into the sand a bit only to find the 17 inch 265/65 struggling a bit, my thinking behind getting the SE was that I could lift the X 2.5 inches and chuck some higher profile and wider tyres on the rims, what you guys think? (Im guessing the 16 inch tyres would have been better as with higher profile with lower pressure = larger footprint.)
Overall Im impressed with the SE's refinement (yes yes I know but I am coming from a YJ with rag top and all round spring leaves.)
Any advise on first mods without comprimising the roadholding too much?
