We celebrated with some snow at 5,000' then drove all the way back home. Still runs great.
I'm guessing 12mpgs in that thing?MouthBQ98 said:
Xterras were hidden gems that were overlooked because they became a popular "chick car". They are underpowered but the drive train is overbuilt and bulletproof, especially in the first gen models. The H233b is a great Axle and the R200 in front is pretty solid too. The 5 speed manual is good too, and it shares a lot of part compatibility with mid to late 90's pathfinders. As long are you aren't in a hurry, it is great.
