I'm invested with the Trooper now. I like that Xterras have factory e-lockers. What kind of rear end do they have?

Got that heavy bitch back up in there.

A lot more room on those bolts with the lower diff. Not that I'll ever need access to them.

About scratched all that paint right off getting it in there.
Now to reassemble the knuckles and get the new ball joints, axles, shocks, and tie-rods all connected.

Nice. How do you accomplish the front lift?
There aren't torsion keys for me. I have to crank the bars to tighten them up. Should be roughly 4 turns per inch. There is a big bolt on the back of where the bars mount and you turn that to lift the front.
Because I was tired of cleaning and getting covered in grease and diff oil for the past few days. I'll wipe them out before I put the new axles in. Just going to get filled with more grease anyway.
Well farts.
New truck got a little whacked while parked at the dealer after a service. Still don't know who did it. Lot monkey claims it wasn't him. Mechanic claims it wasn't him. Sure as F wasn't me.
381 miles on the clock.
Fortunately just the flare.

Throw a fit. The dealer should fix it for you.
Had five guys out there looking at it fawning over their apologies. Part is ordered.
Now I just have to decide what I'm going to ask for extra.
I'm thinking first oil and fuel filter service.
Fuel filters (there are 2) and oil change service (12 qts T6), which I would normally do myself, is $180 in parts plus their labor. I think they charge $425 total.
Too much?
Go for it.
I bet they?ll do it to keep their customer happy.
