Hello dear friends and fellow offroaders, been a long time since I posted or joined drives; Hope every one is doing great and wish you a happy new year. I have decided to let go of my 2015 Xterra S; below are the key highlights, I have reached the max allowed limit to post photos, but you can use the below link to view the photos or contact me on my number : 0508288046 Asking Price: 43,000 AED Model Trim: 2015 Nissan Xterra, S trim; GCC spec; White.

Bilstein 5100 front and rear shocks; Upgraded series of the ones used on the Nissan Xterra Offroad Trim. Great as a daily driver and good offroad performance. OEM Front and rear springs.

Congrats @Marek_was003, get ready to learn some new off-roading skills. Enjoy

Searching online seems that’s a common problem with the inhibitor switch located underneath the car next to the transfer box. If you mechanic suggested to replace the transmission mounts to resolve the issue, then I would really suggest you find another one as it seems he doesn’t know what he is doing!! It is like replacing your wiper blade because the wipers aren’t moving.

Happy Birthday @Carnity

If you ever consider a Y62, never ever think the V6 will take you anywhere. It barely moves on road. Can’t really understand how Nissan installed a v6 on such size suv. I had a V8, it was a beast and extremely comfortable, can’t be compared really to any car. But be prepared for heavy maintenance fees, you will be changing oils of diff, transfer case, transmission every 40K, be prepared for 4000plus on service. At 80k your bushings will be worn out and thats 6k aed for control arms. If you damage the steering column that’s 10k. if you reach higher levels you will need to switch to serious offroad tires, but before that the car will require a bash plate and an offroad front and rear bumper as the stock will be destroyed on fewbie drives. Reaching Intermediate, the car is very heavy and it will bounce and bottom out when hitting bumps at speeds, you will spend anywhere from 10k to 20k on suspension. Remember anything can go wrong while in desert, so if it does, you will cry like a baby after spending all this money on it.😂(ask me about it) But It is a vehicle that will badly spoil you. moving on to the y61 safari, the engine is underpowered, all these videos you see on instagram are for heavily modified patrols. You will need headers, cold air intake with filter and a remap this is for a start, or you will be disappointed when it fails to make a big climb. I drive an xterra now, it is not the most comfortable nor the most powerful, it just does the job. The squeaky suspension at the back might drive you crazy though. the Fjc performs pretty much similar to the xterra, yet i guess more reliable on the long run. But very noisy on highways compared to the xterra. The newer wrangler is very light and has decent power, so obviously performs better than all, some people will hate me but it is the least reliable, you will start making warranty claims starting from the first year, it also gives you headaches on highways even at low speeds.

I drove to Riyadh few months back, I went with my Xterra so didn’t really bother putting any kind of protection to the paint. When I returned I noticed some numerous amount of stone chips on the hood.

@Ali Abasit’s against Carnity rules to recommend Garages and shops. This is a very simple job that any workshop can do, you can do it yourself with a sharp cutter.

15 years back, the sound system in the car I drove was at least double the price of the car itself😂. The sound was really loud but the quality was not🙄. 2-3 Bazookas in the boot with whatever number of pioneer speaker and tweeters I can fit in the front, crown amps were a thing back then at least where I lived. I used to tune them myself, (no wonder why the quality was bad)actually tuning is a science itself, there are calculations that pro shops use, but can’t expect to see this here. Now I enjoy the sound quality present in the new cars rather than the loudness, especially when equipped with a Bose or harmon kardon system. Now on the xterra, I’m planning to change the head unit to high end sony, but will have to replace the factory low impedance speakers to avoid overheating the unit. I found some installation shops recommended on sony’s website, hope they know what they’re doing.

What an amazing experience, Liwa is something else!! Congrats to all of us making it to the other side safely @Kailasyou were an amazing lead, you made it a fantastic drive, challenging yet safe. Thanks @DP1011 , Deepak wranglerfor holding the convoy at the center and for all the help and tugs you gave. Thanks to everyone who supported the support, I guess we were the only ones getting stuck hahaa.😀 Hope to see you all on sand soon.

I guess he was climbing up with much speed and suddenly hit the brakes and that shifted all the weight to the front. Maybe he was also in 2WD

@Zedsorry for the late reply, I wouldn’t recommend disconnecting the wheel speed sensor, I recall that on one of the drives Rawad hit something and it got disconnected, the car got stuck in 4WD and couldn’t switch anymore between 4L and 4H.

@Arsalan Ehsanyou don’t need to do any of these in the Y62. The airbags in Y62 don’t deploy unless you are in an actual accident, we’ve seen Y62 stuck at angles where they almost rolled over (vehicle had two wheels up in the air from one side) and the airbags didn’t deploy. So don’t bother at all about it. The ABS kill switch will disable your terrain selection switch (rock,sand,snow). I honestly disabled it once and found myself enabling it again during the drive. Not just me but also other Y62 owners done like to disable it. but anyway if you insist there is only one way to do it, that is to remove the plug connected to your brake fluid reservoir under the hood.

I miss the luxury and comfort of that v8 I had. Now I have an easier to drive v6 xterra. @Dodi Syahdargood to see your name again. looking forward for tomorrow.

I don’t dig, i’m a prince
