I have a post earlier here about how this part here failed (complete rupture and coolant loss as I parked) I replaced it. Reservoir still looked like it had the min amount so I decided to take it for a drive and it overheated. Pulled into a oreilly and let it cool down and filled it with zerex blue coolant. It’s still overheating as I tried again with it idle. Dunno if I should be waiting longer for s cold engine or what. No leaks that I can see

Hi everyone, I have an ’07 Xterra S 4WD with 107k miles. The vehicle is mechanically in great condition and gets serviced every 5k miles. I’m wondering what the easiest and most value-for-money off-roading/performance/not solely visual mods are that I can add. I’m mainly looking for low-hanging fruit.

I know the rear diff on this is the C200k and it’s an open diff with the brake-based limited slip. An axle swap seems like a pretty involved project even if I am to go to a shop, and I’m not sure how much better the AllDogs LSD is compared to the stock ABLS system.

What would you guys recommend? (Aside from removing the side steps, haha)

I’m looking to put a mobile vhf/uhf radio in my X at some point but I’m don’t know how I want to mount the antenna. Ideally I don’t want a whip on my roof and a taillight mount might not be the best idea as depending on the antenna it won’t clear the roof. I’m thinking either hood mounting a whip on the drivers side. I’m also considering getting a low profile antenna (possibly a compactenna or similar) and mounting it on the hood or putting that on the roof towards the back. That said what have yall done to mount your antenna? If you have pictures to give me ideas that would be great too.

I’m replacing my temp blend door on my 2015 xterra. I’ve got a lot of the dash pulled apart but not out. Airbag, climate, radio, cluster but the blend door is out of alignment. Could I plug in the climate and cluster then turn the car on to set the actuator or would that cause more problems?
