out yonder, round bout a hootinany
I just saw one of those on the street two days ago and wondered something. Why is the step on the bumper so far behind the roof rack? I understand the intended purpose (great idea, imo), but it's so far back that it kind of negates itself because you could just put one foot on the back bumper and one foot on the tire. That step should either be in a better location, or they could put rims on it that have spokes far enough apart to stand on.
Regardless, sweet buy. Sounds like you got a good deal.

Anywhere else on the rack and you can just open the doors.

Nice ride, Stosh.

Let me tell you how much that little step will come in handy. I am constantly putting stuff on the roof and I can never quite reach that back of the rack.

Looks good stosh.

have they told you how much they are going to give you on your old one ? BTW you can negotiate on that too. most insuravnce will try to low ball you to start , when paying out a total loss.

I just found out they are giving me $11,285 for my old xterra, that is $4,485 more than I owe on it!!!!

That equals a good down payment.

It is a little bigger inside? How about fuel economy?
Click to expand...
Yeah they say 22mpg which is 7more MPG than my old one. THe last two items I listed above are options only on the OFF ROAD version.

Oh yeah and the rear storage has more cupic storage. I'm not sure off the actual difference from my old one.
Also the top storage basket not has a top and is lockable

Will you need some beefier front shocks/springs to accomodate the ARB???
Click to expand...
Yeah like I did with my last one I put on 15% stiffer bilstein off road shocks in the front. They helped a ton with nose dive. I also threw on replacement one Bilsteins in the rear and it helped the handeling a lot.
I probably won't be doing the bumper anytime soon. It's a new car so I doubt I'll touch it for a year or so.

wow you did more than $11K of damage to the old one!! if it was that badly damaged you are far better off with it totaled.
Click to expand...
It was all underneath, or nissan parts are really expensive. It really looked like $3-4 k to me. Of course, I am not an adjuster, just comparing to some damages I have had.
