This was the first time for any of us hitting this trail and with some snow on some of the offshoots, it made it more fun and challenging. Join our facebook page @Nissan_4Lo
Funny watching all the 4x4 out here having trouble and I took most of this in my 2wd Xterra 😆 let’s see you guys do “The Chute” next. That’s a tricky one for sure, just don’t go at night like me.
Acquired my 2015 P4x about a year ago. Well taken care of by the previous owner. Still sitting under 96k miles. Love this vehicle but still learning the particulars and idiosyncracies as I actually don't drive much anymore and my former off-road buddies as well as myself don't get out there like we used to. My previous off-roader was a '96 4 door trooper automatic with the requisite clacking 3.2 V-6. It was crazy capable. I cranked up the torsion bars and with OME shocks all around, OME lift coils out back, and it never let me down in some interesting and unacpected terrain. Then I smacked the driver's side, (swapped out auto hubs for manuals locking hubs.) on a boulder. Cracked the outer housing and somehow, that interfered with the 4WD system when needed in reverse. I was running 235/85-16 Yokohama Geolanders and even though narrow/tall, and they had quite a tame looking tread pattern, they grabbed onto EVERYTHING! , no matter the terrain and moisture. Anyways, enjoying this video. Due to budget and physical injuries constraining my current abilities, I'll probably never lift my 2015 P4X anything more than I can without swapping out the UCAs. What is that company on some of the vehicles that I think reads, TNGNK4X4? I may be reading it incorrectly with my "Older" man eyesight. Take care all and have fun. BTW, I'm in S. California and would enjow joining you folks if you're all around here. My brother in his older lifted Subaru Ouback is a great trail partner and would love to join the excursions as well. He knows many S. and Mid- California trails, desert and mountain offroad routes. I've abandonded Faceboomk recently so this is presently pretty muchmy only source of Xterra group interaction.
A stock xterra pro-4x is very capable with a good set of tires. We have a fb group page or we could also just add you to the group chat on messenger. If you still have that. If anything an email or cell will do.
What does 'Titan swapped' mean? Which Titan parts? I've owned just about every 4X4 sold in the US, over the years. Jeeps, Broncos, Blazers, Scouts and more. For a few years, I had a 2001 Frontier Crew Cab 4X4 with the factory supercharged engine. Nice truck, very capable but, obviously, drank a lot of gas. Currently, my rig is a 2018 4Runner Off Road Premium. Really a nice truck and I love it. Good video. I enjoyed watching it.
Most common definition is the use of titan front suspension parts. So LCA/UCA, inner and outer tie rods, axles. Brakes are possible but require the Titan spindles and at least 17/18s. They are 3 inches longer so its essentially a mid-travel long arm setup. People also refer to the swapping of the R180 front diff for the M205 diff from the Titan. Beefier diff with different CV mounting. Then the VK56 V8 is also swappable with a little more work. All aforementioned are completely bolt-on with no fabricating needed. The wider rear axle does require moving the spring perches and generally isn't worth it over some spacers.
Man that looks like a great group and an awesome trail. But man that was stressful watching that one with the RTT! Do you know what brand RTT it is? I want to look up the weight of it. I just switched to a heavier RTT on mine so it would be a good reference.
Stock frontier did way better than the other xterra.. seems like you don’t need much modifications on your Nissan, just lots of common sense and driving skills
Nah, his cool. It’s just a combination of bad tires, open diff and all that weight up on top with the rtt. That’s why I don’t plan on putting a rtt on mine. That’s a lot of weight up top for a short wheelbase rig.
@@BRANDOAN Was that you? You had my heart in my throat a few times! Momentum is not always the answer. Useful in mud but not on rutty, off camber, or rock crawling type situations. Since you're not running a locker, when you get to an area where you're losing traction and you're all flexed out like that, gently ride your brakes while applying a little smoothly applied throttle. It is kind of like a poor man's traction control. That's what I mean by modulating brakes. There's a good example of this in this video at the 4:00 mark ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ADuksUbCG98.htmlsi=lYDVYQCTDgNdso7H
