The only two rivnuts that were drilled out were the ones that were stripped. They were successfully replaced with new rivnuts, effectively resolving the issue.

I ordered them from rockauto.com.

It’s not too difficult. Instead of reaching through the viewport, I approach from the side and utilize the opening to see the filter.

Per the we website: (The optional Winch Frame allows for installation of TJM Torq and WARN Zeon 9500 winches). Looks like it would be an additional fee.

Oh man. I don’t even remember. If I touched it then it was replaced. New hoses, seals, o-rings. Was there a specific area you were referring to?

The rear bottom bolt is the trickiest one, but I think a thin layer of RTV would not hurt.

You’re very welcome!

Awe man. No good. I still couldn’t tell you exactly where the water came from on mine. This was one of the most troubling jobs for me. I can deal with a lot but I do not like a leaky vehicle. After taking off all the trim in the rear I’m more confident that the leaking was coming from the back glass moldings and the trim that sits underneath them. Also, my subwoofer box had a lot of water in it and rusted the speaker. Something to consider. If you’re able to, I would suggest taking out the back paneling and carpet to do some water tests. I wish you the best of luck. 🤞

@@TheNonnell Thanks! That is the plan. Have some time in the next few days to start removing stuff. I appreciate the reply!

Thanks! I was very fortunate with this X. The previous owner kept it immaculate and all service was up to date. As much as I love it, I think I may part ways with it in the coming year.

The rack and pinion was in the way so I was unable to remove it completely; however, that did not stop me from taking off the timing cover. Do you mean, is there a specific way the crank bolt needs to be torqued?

@@TheNonnell Knowing in advance that bolt does not need to be removed completely to remove the timing cover helps a lot. Torque-to-yield bolts are considered one time use, so I was curious if the Nissan Xterra crankshaft bolt is like that. I will check the Nissan Service Manual.

@ I replaced mine. It was inexpensive. I’m not sure if it called for it but I thought it would be a good idea.

Unfortunately, it was totaled. Camry Series Ep.5 - Kamilla's Goodbye! *EMOTIONAL* th-cam.com/video/fRNQUwRi7sc/w-d-xo.html

Thanks. Project cars are the gifts that keep giving. Always fun to learn a new skill. 🙏

Thanks! 🙏

Absolutely! It's time for me to create an update video. The SMOD incident occurred when my Xterra hit approximately 189,000 miles. I’m still behind the wheel of the Xterra, which is on the verge of reaching 227,000 miles. I had a new radiator installed and performed several coolant and transmission flushes when the issue was discovered. There’s definitely a reason to be optimistic! 🙌

@@TheNonnell I appreciate the information and I did watch bother videos. I will keep eye out for your next video. Thanks again, as soon as I get a few things squared her I plan to replace the radiator and flush it. Course will not be driving it until it is done.

I'm not an expert in audio systems, but I recently had to replace the subwoofer in my Lexus. Unfortunately, the replacement speaker didn't match the factory's ohm rating. The technician informed me that due to this mismatch, I would have to increase the volume to achieve the same sound level as before. I don't know the specifications for the Camry, but it seemed to produce better sound and was definitely louder with its factory radio, especially after having new aftermarket speakers installed. The Camry has never had any audio problems relating to this installation. I hope that helps. I found this Reddit page that may help explain more: www.reddit.com/r/CarAV/comments/pozovb/replacing_8ohm_speakers_with_4ohm/

I bet so. I was fortunate that this Lexus was rust free. The frame and under carriage components looked great.

Indeed, that's the disappointing aspect of the job. While swapping out the part itself doesn't take long, the real time-consuming task lies in disassembling everything and then reassembling it all.

I completely agree. It would have been fantastic to experience a straightforward process for removing and installing this dashboard. It seems that with older model cars, the connections and installation procedures are often more complicated than necessary. I found myself scratching my head at some of the engineering.

Thanks. Just when I think I’ve done the hardest job on my vehicle, I prove myself wrong. 😆

😆 it was extensive for sure, but fortunately I had another vehicle to drive and a garage for the Lexus while I did the work.

😆 yeah. Did not happen.

Similar price per hour here in the US. I think it took me roughly 6 hours to take everything out over a few days and about the same amount to put everything back together. It took me over a month to complete the job as I decided to replace several other parts while I was in there. Waiting for parts to come in was my biggest hold up. Overall, it’s not a very complex job, just need patience. 😁

@@TheNonnell 150 aus is over 200 us .just replaced heater tees that was hard enough no chance of do that job

I agree. Replacing my tees is what got me into this mess. Also, replacing Tees and laying across the engine is one of the most uncomfortable things I’ve had to do.

Yes. It should be same for left and right. 7550660031.

Not that I can recall. Obviously, for drilling purposes it would have made more sense for it to be in the up position.

Ok gotcha, thank you! Very helpful video :)

I would refer you to your owners manual. I did not add any additive.

I’m not 100%, but I want to say it was 2005-2009.

@@TheNonnell I'm trying to buy a 2013 Xterra 4pro. 200,000 Miles. $8888.

@@Stavros1977 I’m pretty sure anything after 2009 doesn’t have those issues. I haven’t heard of any problems relating to that with later model 2nd Gens.

@ ok thank you very much for reply. I’m picking up the xterra next week n plan on doing 2 inch lift.

@@Stavros1977 PRO 4X will be nice! Congratulations and best wishes.

Right on! It’s hard to find someone to do it exactly how you want. 🙌

Yes. Available on Amazon. a.co/d/9geiNqu

I'm assuming E-6000 is a type of adhesive? It's not very expensive to get a replacement nozzle and pop it in. My nozzle never popped out but it did start to leak. Since replacing with a new nozzle I haven't had any issues.

@TheNonnell yes it's a popular industrial adhesive sold everywhere

You’ll have to disconnect the AHC line to the shocks, but you shouldn’t lose a lot of fluid. Maybe check the reservoir after you’ve completed the job and started the truck to make sure the level is in spec.

Appreciate it! It turned out better than I anticipated. 🙌

Good to know. I throw it out now.

Can you give me the time in the video where that came from? Thanks. I don’t recall the question from memory.

@TheNonnell I wasn't brought up in the video it was just shown in the video that the main timing chain tensioner had the locking clip on, it's because I was told it had to be removed

What is the time mark in the video you’re referencing? I’ll go back and look. Thanks

Thanks 👍

I use an 18-inch ratchet. Its length allows me to loosen stubborn bolts, and once they’re released, it effortlessly removes them.

There is a bolt that clamps the two sides of the mount together around the filter. Simply loosen the mount and pull the old fuel filter out.

😂 if only I had the time

@@TheNonnell 😂😂 I feel this deep in my soul.

You’re welcome! Honestly, I can’t remember how much things cost, but I bought all my parts from rockauto. I’d assume you could buy everything for $250 or less.

@@TheNonnell awesome man! Thank you again!!!

Removing the headliner isn’t too difficult. I assume the issue is from bolts not tight enough against the rivnuts or maybe you suffer from rusted rivnuts like I did and they’re allowing water to enter the cabin. Removal of the rivnuts isn’t too bad as you can drill them out and get replacement rivnuts, but you will need a rivnut tool to install them. Best of luck!

@@TheNonnell thanks, I have a rivnut tool to install new ones.

💯 At the time, I was unaware, but someone had pointed it out, and it turned out that was exactly what was necessary to help them focus accurately.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

Your X makes a rattle sound? 😳 From the engine?

@@TheNonnell yep

@@TheNonnell 3 years 50k now bunch o tow trips that qete 6h+ If it was going to blow up it owuld long time ago... new chain made it super more quiet

@@jdmjunk haha alright. Fair enough. Seems like you have put it through its paces.

😂 thanks. I appreciate it. Glad it helped!

I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying but it’s an inexpensive maintenance item when replacing the shocks.

@@TheNonnell just that a small oring can cause issues when it fails.

@@freebehindbars8654 oh yes. 💯. Fortunately, it did not give out and replacing it was super easy.

I honestly do not remember. It’s been so long ago.

There are two bolts on the passenger side of the block that hold the power steering bracket in place. You have to go through the inner fender

Yes. That⬆️

Nice!

Thanks for the tip

Did you just take the cover off the rear deck?

@@robh3702 yes. I took it off and pulled back the padding.

No modifications needed. A slight rub on full lock turns but no damage to wheel liner or the tires. Hope that helps.

The bolts used came with the LED fog lights.

Glad it was helpful!
