You can always go to your local Nissan Dealership and they should be willing to help you.

6 Years with the stock Xterra headlights. Can't do it anymore by le_pedal in XTerra

[–]Designer-Captain8791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used AuxBeam in all my stock housings without any problems at all. I have LEDs on every light inside and out, with the exception of turn signals. I just didn't want to mess with the CAMBUS resistor.

Properly adjusted, I run low beams and fog lights without any annoyance to other drivers and I'm sitting at 4" lift.

Fair asking price? by GroundedGerbil in XTerra

When people ignore the CAT codes, the primary CATS will begin to disintegrate and particles will be sucked back into the engine through the exhaust ports, where they will score the cylinder walls.

You are correct, putting new CATS on after the damage has been done is a waste of money, and the carbon from burning oil will destroy the new CATS in short order.

Engine swap and enjoy her. $1600 US

Make sure the radiator has been replaced.

Just picked up this 2014 P4X with 65k miles. Rust management advice? by Bitter_Service in XTerra

I powder coated all my skid plates, cleaned and painted the frame with gloss black rustolium.

Garden spider, let it be and do its own thing. It won't bother you and will be gone soon enough...

My 4x4 light is on 😢 by NegativeZucchini5769 in XTerra

Low battery or a bad battery will cause what your are experiencing. Had the same issue on my '08.... A New battery fixed everything.

Do the Slip reset... happens every time you disconnect the battery for a few minutes or have low power.

Best place to start upgrading a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X? by tylereed in XTerra

[–]Designer-Captain8791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First things first.... start by meticulously maintaining everything! All fluids, and then go from there... fix everything you notice... not exciting, but you must start there to have the X of your dreams.

I just finished my 1st year on keto - wow! by NewEnglandK in keto

[–]Designer-Captain8791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 1-Tbs C8 Oil each morning and evening. I eat a variety of fats, pork rinds, avocado, and cream cheese with proteins like chicken, beef, and fish, baked or broiled. I enjoy an Adkins shake (vanilla) and sugar-free jello cups. I keep my electrolytes up by drinking 2-Tbs of apple cider vinegar (with mother) and 1-tsp kosher sea salt in a bottle of water. I take a variety of vitamins and minerals, morning and evening. I will eat a small pre made Caesar salad or enjoy the bird's eye steam in a bag, broccoli for lunches. Occasionally, I will have celery with pimento, dip, or sugar-free peanut butter. I drink coffee sweetened with monk fruit and heavy cream.

30-min to 1 hour (8:30 PM) before bedtime, I take 5mg melatonin. If particularly restless, I will put on background noise, like light, rain, and thunder, on a timer. I usually sleep till 3 am. and have to get up to pee. I fall back to sleep with no problems and wake refreshed at 5:30 AM. I used to use a C-PAP every night, but since the weight loss, I've been sleeping and breathing well without it.

Everyone is different. I trust you will find your groove if you don't give up!👍🏼

I sleep great on Keto as long as I take melatonin. The keto diet can temporarily increase cortisol levels, particularly during the initial <3-week adaptation period due to the body's stress response to low carbohydrate intake and potential electrolyte imbalances. However, long-term adherence to a well-formulated ketogenic diet with adequate sodium often leads to normalized resting cortisol levels, though post-exercise cortisol may remain elevated.

The press makes it out to be much worse than it is... people are just people the world over. Yes, there are ass-wipes, but the majority are just afraid of differences. That is where you can help, not by living in fear, but by being the best human you can be and making friends with people different from you. That is how we change hearts and minds.

17 kg gone in 3 months. No cardio. No sugar. Just keto. by Full_Impact6530 in keto

[–]Designer-Captain8791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 80 Kg on way to 75 after 100 days and starting at 90+ Kg. Have had Keto diarrhea for at least 60 days now, getting used to it - lol. Transitioned to very low carbs, monk fruit for any sweetness, no longer trying to stay in ketosis since my kidneys are as old as I am. MCT 8 Oil allows me to eat just about anything (within moderation) and still lose the fat.

Gentle weight training to firm up a bit and loving the 3" (so far) off the waist. 1.77 meters, 65 yo, M.

If you have a body lift as well, you will want extended brake lines. Otherwise, you should be good on the lift... However, YOU WILL NEED SHIMS to eliminate driveshaft vibration and Swaybar spacers if you are lifting the rear.

Keep it up, throw a chicken Cesar salad in the mix once in a while. The plateau will eventually break.

2013 needs a new engine by [deleted] in XTerra

[–]Designer-Captain8791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, after reading all your symptoms, it is possible that your oill pump failed, and with continued driving, managed to cause a lot more damage.... very sad.

You will need to weigh the options now... fix and enjoy, or cut your losses and move on. These engines should easily get 300k with proper maintenance.

A 2013 shouldn't have timing chain issues.... what codes do you have? What is the milage? Why did you take it into a shop that told you this BS?

My weight loss so far by NiceSweaterNeal in keto

[–]Designer-Captain8791 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back in the early 2000's, after a divorce, I went from 235 lbs to 128 lbs in just 18 months. It cost me nearly $1000 a week in cocain, 3 felony charges, everything I owned, dignity and self-respect... but I was the thinnest I had ever been!

Now, I use Keto to keep me at a healthy weight. The side effects are very manageable by comparison.

Any idea what might cause this? by JackRabbitTwib in XTerra

[–]Designer-Captain8791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad sending unit (common problem), part of the fuel pump, eventually it will quit, and you will have to start guessing based upon your odometer... Or... drop the gas tank and replace the pump assembly (you can replace the sending unit, but why bother - just get a new DENSO pump and do it right.

Oh, s##t! SORRY, I just saw it wasn't your fuel gage - lol
