Hey All,
Excited to be posting here. We owned a 08 Xterra S 4WD quite a few years ago. My wife needed something that got MUCH better mileage for her job. I've always missed the Xterra and having something to take camping and to do some mild wheeling in.
I've been itching to get a daily driver and turn my current daily driver (Evo VIII) into more of a track build. I had been searching sale sites for weeks and finally found a diamond on eBay. The seller had it listed for $1500. I messaged her back and forth and wasn't ready to sink $1500 into what I think needs quite a bit of work. It didn't sell and was relisted for $499. I ended up getting it for $627 and am picking it up about 2 hours away tomorrow morning! It needs a LOT. I'm handy with a wrench and like getting dirty. I'll post more pics when I get her home, and I'll be making a laundry list of things to do to get her roadworthy. She currently sits with a burnt transmission that slips after about 15 minutes. I haven't confirmed SMOD, but I'm sure it's the culprit. I'll attempt to change the radiator, hoses, and do a few flushes, but I may just be looking at a rebuild.
Stay tuned!
