  1. Just for anyone checking this thread, Window jamming can be for different reasons, but for people who go offroad, the switch buttons sometimes get sand inside and starts to jam, and keep the window motor powered... after sometime it burns the window motor and you will need a new one..
  2. I agree with Futureshock in all what he said, very well written. if it is once or twice a month "normal" off-roading, without jumps & hard landings/ditches ... Etc.. then go with the cheap options, ironman, ARB OMEmu, rancho, entry fox.. They all do the job, will be a real improvement over stock always.. Actually it improves on road handling also if you chose the kit to match your style.. Go to radlfo/King/icon if you are serious off-roader & enjoy going crazy 🌹
  3. While this is an old thread 😂 .. Sharing info is good
  4. UCAs are not gonna help in fast cornering & highway maneuvers, the amount of shock travel required to make the bucket contact will never happen while cornering onroad.. good shocks will... Ironman also is a good source for shocks locally, I know a few X drivers using them offroad and as a daily driver, foamCell Pro was the best improvement on road as well as offroad.. Either case, your fast corners will be much better even with the increased hight.. Because stock shocks are terrible.. get the UCAs only if you are going beyond 2" lift, other than that adjustable cam bolts should be enough for alignment reasons.. Mine was supplied by Nissan Dubai on warranty as my alignment went off after the steel bumper, stock suspension.. 2 persons I know driving offroad with ironman kit (1.7" lift settled) with stock UCAs, never complained of UCA contacting the bucket
  5. Really awesome news! Forces agencies to become more realistic in costs.. As well as improve the quality of their work!! cant wait for that
  6. Actually, wrong, yes, wrong, wrong, yes I bought my X late 2014 after putting a down payment on an FJC.. After doing all the math & +\- over and over, I went and switched to Xterra, the price difference is huge & nothing justifies it! Visually: FJC is different, so it is personal choice visually.. mods: mods wise, yes you can find a lot, but you can also modify the Xterra to any level if you are willing to custom do or ship.. Which usually true off-roaders do rather Han those ready made cheap replicas.. xterra doenst have much mods because it is eclipsed by its big brother the Y61 Patrol safari as the off-roader of choice locally.. Otherwise it could have had much more.. Locally.. Maintenance: Nissan is far cheaper than Toyota in maintenance, the service prices were 60% cheaper when I compared Xterra to FJC 2 years ago when I bought my X, the service contract in Nissan included everything including brake pads, Toyota? Nothing! Just a laughable discount on parts & labor, & still was MORE expensive! alfuttaim workshop is horrible, my FJC friends who has accidents spent more than 6 weeks on a relatively simple front end accident.. Two different cars, same crap! nissan took less than two weeks fixing a similar accident in my case. Offroad performance: (I am an offroad marshal) Stock vs stock, Xterra have more power & tourque, & performs extremely well, but a skid plate is a must in the front. FJC is also great no doubt, but not better than X. FJC visibility is extremely bad, you don't see anything while climbing or on the top or the crest, just horrible. With modifications, the FJ can become a beast, but then you will find you paid the price of 3 Xterras to make one FJC a beast! and, in offroad, the driver is 80% of the difference, the really good driver will win in either X or FJC... resale value: yes, Toyota is better
