The End of an Era (XTERRA) - When Is Enough...ENOUGH?! 

I feel like we are losing a real one.

Appreciate all the videos. You helped me keep my 2000 on the road the last several years.

Hey man your intake manifold plenum removal video is legendary! I’m sad to see the x drive away at the end but hey that’s how life goes. You’re the man Xterra Rob!

Appreciate all your help to the xterra 1st gen community Rob.

Thanks for the X vids man very helpful. Half the vids u did aren’t even on youtube thanks bro. Coming from an xterra owner (First gen)with 250k miles 👍🏻

Cheers. I'll drink to that. I'm looking forward to your next videos. I'm keeping my eyes out for a replacement for my 2000 Xterra. With 185,000 miles, maybe I'll just keep it as a winter 4x4......

I was in the same boat as you for my Xterra. It just gets to a certain point where you realize you put more money into your Xterra that it's actually starting to hurt your pocket book and mental health. I have gone to Autozone, O'Reillys,NAPA, Amazon Automotive, Ebay Motors, Pick-your-parts, Nissan OEM and Etc and etc on keeping my Xterra on the road and going but it started to wear me down to the point where I was keeping phone numbers of moblie mechanics and tow trucks near or at the arenas I was going to take me to the closest mechanic. Every morning I worried that my car won't turn on when I need it to take me to school, work and my home. So after a prolonged diagnostic process, I just decided to sell it off and get a new car instead. It was a difficult decision to make but It was one that was needed., but I was always nostalgic when I see one out on the road.

Sad to see it go, but excited for the future. Thank you for everything, you and stevexnycoerformance have helped so much to keep my xterra alive. I've been considering selling my Xterra for a tacoma, and this is gonna make me really think about what I need from my car. Thank you so much, and congratulations!

Thanks for all of your content. I owned my '04 xterra from 2005-2020. I grew tired of nickel and diming everything in need of repair after 15 years and over 220,000. So I sold it and upgraded to a 2015 Xterra Pro-4X. Lol,

01’ xterra owner and have been watching your videos for years and they have helped me out with numerous repairs, so I thank you for everything you’ve shared!!!

I also have a 2000 X with lots of mods ( snorkel , lift kit and armor ) sits in the backyard . got replaced by a Honda Fit ( comfy 5spd and 41mpgs ) I know your pain !

Aw duuuude! I'm a new xterra owner (1st gen, but in really great shape!), and for me, my "enough is enough" was the '96 Grand Cherokee I've been driving since I was 15 (248,000 miles, should've been dead years ago but I just kept getting it fixed LOL). Anyway, your channel has been really helpful (mine also sometimes needs the shifter jiggled before it'll start... that vid was a life-saver! I was about to be PISSED!) So it's super cool of you to keep your email and comments open to the xterra community. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Mine is 190k and going strong. Supercharged 2002 small leak in the transfer case seal. Also repeated front cat converter exhaust gasket leak every few years. But, other than that, love my truck.

Was hoping you were talking about some random 1999 Lexus ES300 or something. Glad you poured one to commemorate the life of the vehicle, of which you are passing along for someone else to enjoy. All jokes aside, all good things come to an end, memories will last forever, thanks for sharing the journey with us, & I hope you enjoy the new truck Rob!

😢 thank you! I remember watching your vids before picking up mine.

Thank you for the videos, you have helped me a lot with my 2004 xterra. Greetings and cheers from Chile...

Hey man, im about to do my drums and your video is so well detailed! Cheers for making all of these, i just got my 2000 xterra in june and im sure im gonna be needing looots of your vids🤘

I'll drink to that although its only 7:42 am so i'll cheer with my coffee. Life goes on, i remember when i sold my 02 Xterra, driving away and looking at it thru the rear view mirror made me really sad, i had many adventures on it and it was my first proper 4x4. I also moved to toyotas and haven't looked back, although i have tons of respect for the early to mid 2000s Nissan trucks and suv's, truly solid machines!!

Bitter sweet but on to bigger and better things that life has thanks for all the 1st generation Xterra information and diy stuff you have shared over the course of time I have learned so much from you and this channel ❤

In 2006 I bought an 01 Xterra. I still have it! Still have dreams of turning it into an off-road vehicle, maybe some day. It’s our backup/don’t care about it vehicle though. It’s hard to beat the utility of a truck. Love my Nissan Titan!

Damn I know that was rough bro, I really appreciate all you did for this community all the posts in the forums all the videos you put up on you tube all the first hand information you shared with all of us, it really means a lot dude it seems to me all of it was such a massive effort and it was really well done and you were really showing a lot of love to a truck that doesn’t get much of it from anywhere hell you got me through a lot shit dude your fuckin awesome rob from the bottom of heart thank you, thank you very much.

Nooooo 😢😢😢 one of my favorites. You should let us know who the Xterra went to so we can follow it's life

266k and counting on my 04 and I love this vehicle, the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, cheers

Congratulations on the kiddo! My X passed away. Timing belt snapped. Couldn't find an engine with reasonable mileage to replace it.

Sad to see it go. Hope it goes to someone who cares about it. My xterra has had a rough life. Ive owned her for 3 years now and ive cleaned her up and given her a 2nd chance at life. I have 205,000 miles on her now. Shes running great

Wow! My name is also Rob and I now own two Xterra. I would have three, but the wife says 5 cars is enough! I named them Hatari and Daktari. They are both rear wheel drive only. I use them to do DoorDash. I drive them like a fire truck trying to get to a fire! My wife won't ride with me. If I get a third Xterra, I'm going to have to hide it from her!

man this hurts. I've had mine 10 years and getting older as well. i think i have to part with it but the memories

I pretty much did the same but kept my 2000 Frontier SE 4x4 as a secondary truck to beat up. I bought a new 2023 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X loaded to the max with every option Nissan offered. It's my first new vehicle.

Feel ya!!!! Been working on my 2002 forever ....bout ready to cut my loses and get something else. They a nightmare to keep on the road. And parts are a PAIN to get. Only thing keeping me on it is the WILL TO WIN!!!! If i had to do over would have bought another 4RUNNER!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! But I get it, life changes things! Good luck to you, brother! I did enjoy your videos, you helped me with my 2" body lift install. I am fortunate that my Project X is just my offroad toy and family camping vehicle.

point of the story: marriage and being a father will push u away from everything you love, RIP ur xterra. u have helped with multiple projects, thank you!!!

Recently had a kid so I understand that aspect. Had to mostly give my modded first gen to a family member for a bit. Probably best since I never drive it. Too worried about it breaking and having to fix it anyways. I’ll be getting my dads 07 xterra though since he passed away from cancer not to long ago. Times change.. Probably will keep his second gen stock though. For the near future anyways. Not up to spending the time and money into another vehicle to not drive at the moment

Sorry to see your Xterra go. Like you say, life changes. My Gen 1 Xterra remains as my weekend and trail ride. For doing useful things my Silverado with an 8' bed does the rest, owned by my business. Neither is comfortable so I'm looking for an Old Man Car for long drives in comfort and style. I avoid buying cars newer than 05 because it seems build quality across the auto industry went downhill from there. My 01 Xterra and 01 Silverado are bomb-proof and gremlin free. Buying tip from a client who sells used cars: do not buy anything made during the pandemic years. All of the production stoppages due to supply chain problems have lead to vehicles full of electrical gremlins.

140,000 on my 1 gen Xterra se 4x4 and in excellent shape ! wont be selling her anytime soon ! one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned and funniest 4x4s with very little maintenance needed. Would never spent 40 - 50,000 on a new rig waste of money and dont want payments, that money better off going into my investments. For the money spent on a new rig you can completely rebuild a new gen 1 xterra 3 times ! but I understand the draw to something new fun and exciting. Cheers !

You want an old truck for off roading.. When it gets a scratch or dent...it's no worry. Just keep the Xterra for a fun off road vehicle that you built.

First off congratulations on being a dad and getting married. 🎉 🍻 I feel like I’m at that point with my X. Did you sell your xterra yet? I can’t afford new tires and a $425 grassroots link right now. But if I can get the OD of the bearings on a grass roots link, I’m capable of modifying my old center link.

Solution: Keep the Xterra and buy a 2wd prickup for cheaper for your truck needs. You'll regret selling the X. Plus, you wont get much money for it compared to all the work you put in. Before my X I had a Bronco II that I sold for many of the same reasons, and I really really wish I hadn't sold it, and now good Bronco IIs are almost impossible to find.

Two biggest mistakes Nissan made in modern times, is: 1.Ending production of the Xterra. 2.Crossoverfying the Pathfinder.

I am going to be looking at a 2014 nissan xterra pro 4X. It has 112,000 miles on it. It will be my first large vehicle with off road capabilities. What should i be looking for when i go to check it out. Is it safe to be considering a xterra with that many miles on it?

Your videos of help me out a lot on my Xterra. My wife and I have one identical to yours. If you don't mind me asking how much do you want for it? I'm in the market for another one

I just parked mine and have been chipping away at er. I love her too much for me to ever see another in her driver seat.

i just put a new used engine in my 2003 nissan xterra lol im keeping it till it needs another one lol. with that said where are you located and how much ill buy it for parts.

What rear leaf springs Where are you running on your X?

Why did you choose a tacoma over the new frontier? I love both trucks. Just curious

😔

XTERRA~!!

that outro so sad!

Your Tacoma rob now 😂

Bro no, I'll never sell my baby.

so you are selling it because you have a family? that doesn't make any sense. the xterra isnt worth but a few thousand dollars now a days. so have the tacoma and keep the xterra for the weekends. still cheaper than a side by side any day.

New cars are overrated, overpriced, and only sold to suckers (given their value drops in half once off the lot). There are better ways to spend your money than to get a $70K Tacoma off the lot. Just get a 2nd Gen Xterra if you want that 'newer' feel in car with a bit more creature comforts. Now, don't get me wrong.... of course it's nice to have a new car, but like I said, there's better ways to be spending money as it is a bad investment.
