Looks like a fun trail. nice video. surprised people don't use their lockers more often. like their saving it for when they are really stuck. just turn em on. lol
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.
need to head out with you guys some day! i still haven't tested out my silverado on obstacles like this, my friends aren't as experienced either so we avoid that stuff.
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.
Wow nice video. Looks scary but fun as well. I am new to Nissans and am shopping for a used frontier long bed 2022-2024, which apparently comes in SV with ABLS, and no rear lockers. Do you think it could have made it up with you?
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.
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.
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 ua-cam.com/video/ADuksUbCG98/v-deo.htmlsi=lYDVYQCTDgNdso7H
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
I love how the stock Feontier made everything look simple and smooth. Long wheel base for the win
Yes I’m actually surprised I made these trails on my stock proximity suspension haha
Looks like a great trail system and great group of guys.
It really is a great trail to learn and test out your rig. These guys are awesome no doubt.
awesome rigs and amazing trail run! Can't wait to get out there with the group
Thanks, I need to do one on a Sunday for the other members.
Another awesome video Ben! Wish I didn't miss out on this one!
Thanks Matt! We’ll go back, when there’s no more snow.
Great job awesome scenery
Thank you for sharing ride safe.

I love having the build specs to see the differences. Great video
Thanks!
im always hyped for when you post
Much appreciated

@@xbenture That would be pretty cool. We’ll have to link up sometime soon, before it gets too hot.
Nice bro 👍🏼

It’s always a good time with these guys. The one with the rtt , his ig is @BDX_408
I think it’s a CVT rtt
BDX_408 here. It is the CVT St. Helen's RTT (unfortunately discontinued)
@@BRANDOAN oh wow that’s a good bit lighter than my tent. I’ll have to keep that in mind if I do any western US trips to trails like this one
Anyone know where I can get a good driver mod???
😂😂😂
Hey we’re all learning and you made the right call with the strap.
You definitely had the most fun 😆
@@matthickam pucker meter was high that day
when is the next Nissan meetup!! im from the IE..
@@WilliamGonzalez-h1w We plan our trail day on our facebook page. Check the event feature. We’ll probably do gold mountain next month
How is everyone getting such good articulation? Removing both sway bars or just front or back?
@@johnwiggins6114 Mines were both removed.

@@cpm4912Thanks for the reply and the information, which I found very interesting.
Is the xterra with the RTT getting one wheel so high in the air due to the the added weight of the RTT?
Definitely a factor, along with throttle/brake control and line choice.
@@xbenture I did notice he was more of a “SEND IT” type of driver lol
I think I'd hesitate to wheel with that guy. He almost flopped what, 3 times on one trail? 😬
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.
@@xbenture Yeah that's a factor for sure but maybe you can teach how to modulate his brakes 😬
@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports Definitely, we’re all here to help and learn
@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports i'm rather new to wheeling, so any and all advice is appreciated
