I had an 01 Xterra for a bit...luved it. I don't care for the newer big pigs; they're just overgrown luxury wagons where-as the older X's were far more practical and a properly modified Xterra can be a ba-dass off roader. I made the mistake of trading the X for a VW Jetta. ..anyway, yes, change that radiator if it looks original, and check the timing belt also. The rear wiper motor should be easy to replace.

Since we are taking it off topic, I think I'd take a newer model over the old model any day, as I doubt the size difference affects practicality, and i'd take a 4.0 "alpha" platform over the older version any day. Add to that the options with the off road or Pro4x model, and it's not even a fair comparison. So no, the new Xterras are not just over grown luxury wagons. With all that said, I've never even owned an Xterra, just wanted one and researched, and test drove them quite a bit.

Love my pig... Luxury isn't a word I'd ever use about it though

Well to get this back on topic I was recommended to a garage in Englewood, B's Auto. Had a nice chat on the phone, long too. Dropping it off Monday for them to give a free estimate. This one already had the timing belt replaced prior to purchase.

Jack up radiator cap.
Remove Nissan vehicle from under radiator cap.
Place real vehicle (Ford / Chevy / Dodge) under radiator cap.
Lower radiator cap.
Drive vehicle as normal.

Hahaha, that would have been believable if you'd have left the Ford out, LOL.
