13:12 "if you're one of the 3 women that watch these videos" lol 😂 aw I feel special now. Thanks for the xterra content, I've learned a lot about my car through your channel
That's awesome. Thanks for watching! 💪🏻
Yes! Purse hooks😁
I have a set of the beside the seat organizers. Mine are thinner and slip right down into that space. Don't use them a whole lot but they do catch things that would otherwise fall under the seat never to be seen again.
Ohhh maybe I will try those. Thank you.
Thanks for this fabulous series of vids. They are, BY FAR, the finest, most informative, professionally produced online resource for Xterra owners available. Bravo, sir!
Thank you Bruce for that high praise! 👍🏻💪🏻
@@Rythecarguy My pleasure. Keep 'em coming!!
You got it!
Nice! Thank you for all your Xterra videos. I've had a second gen Xterra for over 10 years and am frequently watching your videos for help. Especially that spark plugs video, big help!
Glad you like them! I appreciate the support.
i noticed your TBBC sticker on your gear box!!! nice! didn't know you were a Florida native! been watching your vids for over a year now!! big fan!
Woop woop! Not a native but I've been here about a decade. Love central Florida.
Lol, I’m one of those chicks! Thank you for the videos! They are packed with great info and has helped me a lot.
Hell yea! Welcome to the channel. It's my pleasure, thanks for watching.
Those hooks do look very handy. I have a net for the bottom of the cargo area and it's been super useful, was a great buy. Any thoughts on doing an update/walk around showing how some of your old work on the X has held up so far?
I have collapsible boxes that I use for groceries. You can bungee in back to keep from sliding. You can also use those hooks on the back seat
Noiiice
This was a great one Ry, We're preparing for a long road-trip and I'm really trying to improve the internal organization of the X.
Glad you liked it. I hope your trip goes well! :D
I have a cooler and a milk crate in the back for groceries, strapped down with bungee cords 👍
Nice!
Laughing at this because its my very exact same setup! Those bungee cords are a godsend lol
So I guess I am one of the 3 chicks that watch your xterra videos. Love them!
Hell yea! Thanks for watching. 🤘🏻
yeah, me too...I've put a trailer hitch and side steps on my 2013 Pro-4X and Ry's videos have been very helpful for the trailer hitch and more.
I think more he's more of ladies man than he thought.😄
I'm here lil late, but here.
@@tinaevans2123 Me, too. Nissan Frontier.
I just bought the yellow 06 XTERRA and just put in new headlights after watching your how to video. Same headlights you got. Also I’m looking at the storage net videos not because not sure where current net goes and where can I done the pocket ones you have
This was a fun, unexpected video. I've never thought about doing anything with the storage space in the cargo area, but I'm always annoyed with stuff moving around. Time to get some of these cargo nets! And those hooks for groceries look great!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching man.
Loved the video, the Xterra has an apparently notorious issue with the back seat door handles. Not allowing the car open. Would love to see a vid of that if you ever run into that issue.
? I have never heard of that.
If I come across it I will certainly make a video.
Never heard of this either?
Child door locks?
@@oni_goroshi spring mechanism in the actual handle goes out from what I understand.
Hey Ry...I was thinking of starting a Xterra group in the mountains where I live... been a great vehicle for me for years
Very cool! I thought about doing that in central Florida.
I got the carpet trunk mat because everything kept sliding around and swapped out the rear headrests for shorter 04-07 titan headrests for better visibility.
Do the head rests slide right in? If so I am definitely interested in doing that.
Adding a drawer or tool box liner under your cargo in the rear helps to stop stuff sliding around, especially if you use the stretchy net over top of your cargo.
I've got an 08 Xterra and most of your videos I've used to fix anything and everything that goes wrong. I also just saw the stickers on your yellow case. We might be from the same area.
I'm also about to replace my ABS Module as it seems to be screwing with my driver-side speed sensor. Fun Stuff.
Yikes, enjoy that! Those cases are the ones I use to travel and shoot travel videos. I have stickers from all over the world on there. I currently live in central FL. How about you?
@@Rythecarguy Ha. Most of those stickers are from Michigan. Bells Brewery, the
This was a terrific video in respects to storage.
I've seen many Xterra's modded with molles and really high end gear. For the average person these are great.
Addressing the cargo floor however, i cut a roll of anti fatigue foam to fit perfect.
Nothing slides on me.
Once again thanks for this video.
Oh I like that idea. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. I agree. most mod videos are $100 plus panels for serious off roaders. I wanted to make a video for the rest of us. 🤣Have a great weekend George!
@@Rythecarguy
You too Ry, have a good weekend as well.
you can also hang all four hooks of the net bag up on one the rear hooks and shove a bunch of stuff in them
My X is a daily driver. I like to ride with two 18-quart totes bungee corded. Also, this makes it easier to bring in the groceries.
🤘🏻
hey dude great video good job explaining that you can't put your headrests all the way down if you get the trunk organizer that kind of stuff bothers me and definitely was a help ahead of time appreciate it. Also, my 1st generation 2002 se Xterra doesn't have all those cool hooks I don't believe, how would I go about doing the overhead cargo storage if its even possible on a first gen because that would be great for microfiber towels, thank you
Hello! I have a special demand. We know that Xterra / Frontier have a squeaking problem in the front suspension. I tried to grease it with WD-40 white grease, but insuccessfully. Can you give us some tricks to solve this general problem for this Nissan models? Thanks a lot and continue your good work! I learn a lot of things on your channel!
Folding crates from Costco are like 10 bucks, they slide under the seat or sit on the seat and are great for groceries every week. We use 2 and it makes moving groceries and other things much faster
Great tip!
Thanks! I have been looking for a hook setup. 👍🏼 I would love to find shelf ideas.
Ohh, good thought! We have those hooks in the rear. I bet we can fashion a shelf.
Really enjoy your presentation and descriptions. Think your niche is more oriented towards installs and service work on you vehicles. Just sayin. Have a grand weekend.
Thanks for the feedback Mike. You have a great weekend as well.
Your Xterra videos have always been a huge help for me. Quick question: how did you secure the small sub-woofer box seen in this video?
Needs to be a video on that
Maybe I'll shoot a short!
But the quick answer is I built the box so the front piece of MDF is longer on the bottom so it slides into the track of the cargo area. I love it because I didn't have to screw It into the body of the X.
@@Rythecarguy car stereo upgrade full length would be good. Import to tackle that with my son soon
I have a full radio install video, just not one on the sub install.
Nice video Ry. Have you ever seen a rack that goes over the rear two cargo area windows ?
Yea! The Molle panels? Those are really cool.
@@Rythecarguy Do you think its a dumb idea to have to drill through the car to install them, or not that big of a deal? Watched some videos on them and I'm on the fence about getting them for that reason
Well thank u soooo much i flow u in every step u did for the xrerra i want to ask u my Xterra has no cruise control can u please tell as how to add it
I might do that one day.
"how does that look?...pretty shitty so far." 😂 Love your honesty dude. Always real talk 👍🏾
😆 You know it!
Nice Vid. Curious if you ever had this issue on your Xterra...The Slip, ABS, Brake, and VDC lights come on once I hit 10mph. Its a 2011 2wd Xterra. It doesn't go into any kind of limp mode, I have no engine codes, and other than the lights being on the car behaves normally while driving. I have tried installing a new battery and that made no difference either...any ideas?
It’s either your cam sensors or low brake fluid
Look at your wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensor, or your accelerometer. Those are the major sensors that control those systems.
@@Rythecarguy Thanks for getting back to me. It was a very odd issue. We had a temp drop and I went and added air to all of my tires and the next time I started the vehicle the issue was gone. All 4 tires were definitely a little low on air but not even close to being flat. Haven't had the problem reoccur since. Weird.
The more Xterra vodeos the better- imo. As for storage I just went from the rear o.s. handles all the way around the ceiling hooks, with paracord, tying plenty of evenly spaced alpine butterfly knots and zigzagged paracord out of each knot hole (can be changed to bungee material) for an easy/super stable overhead carrier. = $5.00 👍
Great tip! You should shoot a pic to the Xterra subreddit to share.
"How's that look? Kinda shitty so far..." That's my reaction to most mods I start lol
😂
Your seats are in amazing shape.
Thanks! It's cause no one uses them lol
Good stuff! Thanks
You're welcome!
I am planning to buy a used xterra and can you suggest me what trim and what year I should go with I want a good reliable off-roading xterra
I'm mean the holy grail Xterra is a late model year Pro 4-X. If you can afford it.
Hi Ry - Trying to take off the bottom plastic bumper of my 09 Xterra for some painting. I've followed your "top of the bumper removal" and it was a breeze...anything in your channel that covers that? Thanks much!
I'm not sure what you mean by top and bottom.
@@Rythecarguy Thanks for getting back to me - On my 2009 there is a top grill section that can be removed by itself. It goes between the headlights and has the Nissan circle logo. Below that is a section in the center that looks like a skid plate (sort of) and is generally matched by color to the top of the grill unit. That lower unit needs cosmetic repair/painting. I was thinking that that section could be removed? Thanks again and I really enjoy your content!
Oh yea! I'm not exactly sure which video it was in but look for the videos where I paint the front end or install the fog lights. It might be in there. Glad you enjoy the content. Thanks for watching.
@@Rythecarguy Thanks much!
I wonder why the Xterra does not come with some of those upgrades from factory... Nice ideas. Actually I was hoping to see some I could borrow for the Frontier, since the upfront cargo situation is pretty crappy. I do like the cargo net though, even if it is not for me as I don't have a boot.
How much space do you have behind your rear seats? You might be able to use the organizer behind them. I thought about getting one for my Titan. The space behind the rear seat is wasted.
@@Rythecarguy It's the KC I have. As I am a hunter I have the 2 part hangers on the seats to slide my gun through. Behind the seats is the perfect place for my rubber boots, coats, knives, tools, med kit and whatnot. Hope no-one ever wants to sit on one of those milking stools.....
I have an 05 xterra with 256,xxx the only thing that went was the cam sensors and catalytic converter‘s
Awesome! Great SUV.
Curious what size are those tires? They look smaller than mine and i would prefer to use the ones recommended
Looks like 265/75r16, he lifted his Xterra but hasn't put bigger tires that's why they look smaller even though it's the oem size
Right on Samuel! Exactly.
I'll replace them one day. Just need to work up the courage to drop a grand lol
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your cars to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
Sure, got any 40" light bars?
@@Rythecarguy Yea of course we got the 42‘’ light bars, Could the measurement fit your vehicle:)
@@Rythecarguy Hi Kindly ask if this measurement could fit?
Yes. It will fit overhead. I can get custom brackets.
Can you email me at ry@rtcg.tv let's talk!
great video
Thanks!
This will be a popular video I can tell already and I just started.
I hope so! 👍🏻😀
Thanks for always watching Clark. I appreciate it.
I thought the Xterra came with the first net. I've had two Xterras and both have come with that exact net.
Crazy, maybe they did and most people just lose or break them.
This is the Xtrerra Channel….. 🇺🇸
🤘🏻😆🤘🏻🇺🇸
Wait did you take the plastic off your doors or are they newer doors.
I removed them. I did it as part of my "facelift" video. Here ya go: th-cam.com/video/2F7_VkQ4K6E/w-d-xo.html
My x doesnt come with the mounting clips in the rear roof, is there a way to buy them?
You can but them from the manu but your headliner likely needs to be shaped to them. It would be a bit of an expensive job.
Mine came with carpet cover for the rear area and no sliding hook mounta… what do you use for the hook mounts in the back
You must have the fancy one! Lol. Do you have a he tracks underneath?
@@Rythecarguy I'm in the same boat. I would love those hook mounts.
If you have the tracks then you can get the hooks on Amazon here is the link: th-cam.com/video/2F7_VkQ4K6E/w-d-xo.html
I checked on the Nissan parts site and they are 60 A PIECE. At least at amazon you get all of them for 60. Thanks for letting me know guys. I assumed that they all had these. I added that link to the description.
lol wrong link. Here you go. Sorry amzn.to/3E6XXBw
Where did you get the mounts for the utilitrack?
mine came with them. Not sure where to get them. Sorry.
For the screws on bottomed rails would anyone happen to know where I could get spare or new set cause mine doesn't have then anymore
Junk yard for sure for that kinda stuff.
+1 on the purse hooks
🤘🏻
Thank u sooo much
Most welcome 😊
The Yellow Pelican Case storage is a great way to take your head off in an accident!
Correct. As stated in the video you wouldn't actually store it up there.
That would be dangerous
How’d you remove the side trim
I think it's like 5 or so minutes into this video: th-cam.com/video/2F7_VkQ4K6E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JtDfQ6f0QFRpHxV1
Does this apply to the nissan pathdinder?
I would say yes as long as the mount points are the same.
👍 nice
Thanks 3ly!
Hi
👋🏻
Good gawd what a waste of time
Yet you still took the extra time to scroll down and write a rude comment. You must not be a very busy guy.
That beautiful Florida morning dew
It ended up being a wonderful day out.
