Impressive!

So I got me a Lokka "Aussie" locker.

Anyone with any experience with 2003 Xterra front Diffs?

Discount code still works, cost me $299 USD

They are back ordered at the moment so they told me it won't ship for a week from now.

These are also available for first gen Xterras - I read several reviews of people driving in winter and everyone speaks well of them. They are not a typical mechanical locker - the wheels can independently turn faster without locking, but won't stop driving. Sort of the reverse of a detroit locker (...

I don't recall where I got my spacers, but they are identical to these:

Everything went well, huge thanks to Luke, Alex and Mike for all your help! We only broke one body mount bolt, so the two and a half cans of PB Blaster I sprayed on the bolts over the past weeks seemed have to really help. Time to do body lift: Saturday Jan. 4 - 2 hours: general inspection, remove s...

Some of the worst driving conditions I have seen in years - great day to be out in my Xtarra!!!

I've been told keep an eye on it, but it shouldn't be a problem on a 2003 Xterra.

Getting ready for body lift next weekend - removed skid plates, door sill trim, oiled body mounting nuts again, removed lower rad shroud, removed annoying white caps from above nut-heads inside truck, fixed heater in garage, etc.

We are doing the lift this Saturday, January 11, starting at 9 am. at 108 Elgin ST N, Cambridge https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=108+Elgin+ST+N,+Cambridge&ll=43.364416,-80.299609&spn=0.000819,0.004562&hnear=108+Elgin+St+N,+Cambridge,+Waterloo+Regional+Municipality,+Ontario+N1R&gl=ca&...

I've heard it's a good idea to re[place both the top and bottom rad hoses with longer ones. Does anyone know the part number for the correct longer hoses and where I can order them? I saw one example on a US Xterra forum where they purchased longer hoses that had the correct bends and diameter, but ...

Looks like January 11 in Cambridge. A friend is loaning me his garage for the weekend - it's not too well equipped, but should be good enough. No hoist, but it does have a furnace, so we'll have heat. I'm planning to put the truck in his garage Friday night with the heat on, so it can thaw out overn...

Does anyone have Big Bird's phone number?

I'll talk to my buddy with the garage connection about which date is best for him,

I'm getting excited! I'll finally be able to mount 32's! What else do I need to prepare? Does anyone have a garage? I have access to two, one in Cambridge that is is unheated, the other is in a garage club in St George, they are a little fussy to deal with, but they have every tool imaginable. Those...

Can they just be cut-off or are they too hard to get at?

Anyone interested in getting together to help me do a 2" body lift on my 2003 Xterra?

I am thinking of doing it either January 4 or 11, 2014.

I think I have everything I need, but what I really need is someone who has done this before to help me!!!!!

I've tried patching and that isn't cutting it - Any advice on replacing an oil pan on a 2003 xterra - 4x4?

Seems I need to drop the front diff, and lift the engine. More than I feel comfortable doing myself.

Any mechanics out there (BigBird?) wanna do it for a case of beer (OK maybe 5 cases )

Nice to see you all getting along so well. I've contacted Big Bear - thanks for the referral!

Can anyone out there recommend a good mechanic for my 2003 Xterra? I need to replace the timing belt and a few other fussy things, so I want someone who has experience with Xterras. Someone who will use aftermarket parts? I live in Cambridge, but would be willing to drive a while for someone who kno...
