#Sarahntuned #Xterra #Lifted
Even with dirt stains on her face, Sarah's still a cutie...btw, the innuendos and puns were fire!!!
and rapid fire
Damn, that Short Circuit reference made me feel old
NO DISASSEMBLE!!!
At least I wasn't the only one who caught that!
I just paused the video to comment on that, I love that movie! Are we gonna name the Xterra Johnny 5 now?
Yep. So glad someone else said it first. Now I can claim the comment jogged my memory instead of admitting I got it straight away
haha wtf Sarah isn't old enough to know that reference!
FYI to get 3 inches of lift out of an Xterra you will probably need to "reindex" your torsion bars AKA removing them from the lower control arm anchor and re-orienting them to allow more room to turn the threads. You will also need to reinforce the steering system. The angles of the tie rods will cause all sorts of sloppiness in the center link. If you have oil leaks back there...be prepared for a failed starter motor too. Enjoying the build! Edit: I'm commenting in real time and just saw you refernce reindexing! Being off left to right at the adjuster position isnt a big deal as long as they both end up tucked into the frame rail. Hanging down like that makes it a prime target for rocks to break things. To see if you are maxed out...check the gap between upper bump stop and upper control arm. Leave about a half inch gap to allow for the UCAs to flex/bounce up and down. Dont go closer. :) yes I am an xterra nerd.
Guessing oil was collecting in the bell housing and leaked out when you jacked up the back.
Yeah, made sense the second time I jacked it up and nothing came out. I have a ton of new gaskets for this thing.
Beat me to it.
@@SarahnTuned yeah I guessing it is a straight six. Your going to have fun with the park plug between the block and firewall I would bet it has never been changed. Provide it is a six cylinder. Thank you.
@@kendramckenna7312 It's a V6. So, double the misery.
@@kendramckenna7312 negative, the VG33E is a V6.
Loving the Xterra videos. Lots of funny innuendo jokes, actually made me laugh out loud, thanks for that.
Just love your sence of houmer it brightens up a dull sunday night
"Hello. Welcome to...TH-cam."
If TH-cam was a store you could totally be the greeter at the front door.
Excellent work
She’s a lucky sister to have such a dirty minded big sister who’s an excellent mechanic ❤️
Thanks Sarah, need your content for my sanity!
"Is it in yet" 4 words that destroy any man's confidence!
Oh is that a bad thing? Asking for a friend.
@@tedbarsalou hilarious!!!
Luckily I got nothing to worry about with my 7.5 incher LMFAO
hahaha
I'll take your word for it.
The inuendo force is strong with this one.....hmmmm.
This video set the all-time record for innuendos. (-:
Always found replacing all the wheel studs on a hub when one breaks saves revisiting the other half dead ones later, especially if the hub is coming off for a wheel bearing suggests it's been overloaded at some stage
The hub's gotta come off for the studs on the xterra. do them all and maybe the brake rotor while you're there, since it'll be apart.
Probably some meathead impact wrenching them on.
@@stanthology99% of wheels are put on with an impact. the difference is once in a while you get an idiot that cross threads or overtightens them. that's where you run into problems
Did anyone else notice the spark from where the frame contacted the jackstand when Sarah dropped the Xterra?
The Xterra is quickly turning into my favorite build 😉
They are awesome trucks, I’m on my second and still own my first . Make sure you get a manual .
@@NCrdwlf wish I could have found manual shift
I love when you are fixing one thing, only to find you now have several others to do as well!
Need a new spare tire dry rotted like a mofo
A little Armor All should fix that tire up. Make it shine under there!
Your sister is going to have a whole new truck by the time you get done adding all these new parts
Right! So much for keeping it under $3 K
I love your awkwardness, lol. Your sister owes you big!
Can I just send you my cars to work on? They always come back from the mechanic dirtier than they left.
Love the innuendo grenade in this video! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Sarah, I think your a legend
The content is strong in this one.
I888889999999iiiiiiiiú77ý699j8u6
No disassemble, Johnny 5 is ALIVE!!! 😂 love the old movie reference and all the innuendo. Keep up the great content 👍🏼
I wish I had a sister that bought me car parts and installed them. Frankly I wish one of my brothers would do that...
Talk dirty to me won't you! I'm sell pressure washing machines :) :)
I love how your videos show that these jobs take longer than a 30 minute cable t.v. auto repair show. 😆 Oh and how other areas that need to be addressed always appear.
This video was recommended and I figured sure why not.
Automotive, educational?
Welcome to the home of OCD car restorations, innuendo, mechanics hair tips n tricks and some of the finest work ever seen in a youtube video
@@ddd228 living vicariously by watching people repair cars since I can't.
It's a rear main leak more thank likely that pooled up in the bellhousing, you just tipped it out! Dang yur beautiful Sarah.
If that truck had spent any significant time in the northeast, you would never had gotten those bushings apart with just lube and a wrench. We usually need a cutting torch.
I’m from NH, I know 😉
Your just so cool and gorgeous loving the innuendo and bants have a great week oh to be younger
The sound track was perfect. Very Monk-ish TV comedy-drama. You could be up for a TH-cam Emmy Award.
I just started the video but I'm loving all this xterra content
That spare tire is looking pretty rough...I'd be thinking about replacing that before I need to use it.
Hey Sarah , love your channel . Keep the inuendoes coming.
All the best from Canada 🇨🇦
Add to your parts list a spare tire. I thought I saw a crack in the one hanging under the truck. Those Bilstiens(sp?) look awesome.
Curious, can you get it out of the garage door after you're done?
Thanks for the hair tip, just wish I had more hair.
No disassemble, number 5 alive.
Love the background music!
I think my favorite videos are with you helping your sister.
I started washing your videos because of the xterra!! Love my xterra & your videos.
will you be able to get it out of the garage ?lol
Innuendo-innuendo-innuendo...Sarah is a terribly frustrated woman. Got-a love Her
it was a puddle of oil built up in the bell houseing from the rear main seal, it poured out when you lifted her rear up :)
I hate it when I lift her rear up and oil comes out.
Lets place wagers on if the X will clear the garage opening after the lift.
It looked close at the end lol.
Don't bet against the house, just saying.
I’ve had HD trucks and a Raptor in here before, it clears.
I haver a buggy that rolls in and out of my garage on dollies because it wont clear with 48s on it. It would if I still had a set of 40s. lol
Yes ! awesome ! another xterra video !! great job on the lift !! I can't wait when I can lift my xterra up as well it will be so much better !
Please consider replacing the rear axle U bolts with new ones. It is never recommend to reuse old ones they stretch and can cause a failure if re-used. .
I started watching this channel vecause well, cars and cute. I stayed for the awkward and innuendo.
Hey Sarah nice work on your sister's truck ! 😎
and a new world record tally of inyourendos!
Watch the Georgia senate debates or Sarah No contest.
Your lounge room would look like a shipping warehouse lol
The oil is most likely from the valve cover gaskets as they are notorious for failing ( I just did mine "again" at 180k) you'll love removing the intake manifold to complete the job (if its the VCG's) you might want to move the bump sensor while your there and check the fuel injection seals while in her guts, cheap for the time) and maybe clean/replace the injectors? Oh wait who am I talking to lmao can't wait to see how deep the Rabbit hole is....
Great content as usual Sarah 👏🏿!!
Where’d you buy the parts from, I plan on doing this to my 2004 Nissan Frontier but I don’t know the best place to get the parts or what parts to get.
i'm hope you didn't lift it too much so you can't clear the garage door opening to get out. That roof rack is pretty high now.
I'm wondering the same thing.
@@MTBActionCam1 not me
Did we not check the brake pads and shoes while we had the wheels off? Or is that just an assumed later video?
Always fun - well, usually(!) - to watch videos! Keep it up!
so much innuendo and double-entendre here!
Shouldn't you be purchasing a left, and a right set of ballbearings at the same time ~ fortunate sister
Your sister almost made an appearance in this episode. Keep the innuendo's coming. Hello form NS, Canada.
This is a great video Sarah, love the music and editing!
I'm exhausted just watching cheers
Previous owner installed monroe reflex shocks on it. Nice upgrade to bilstein.
So much innuendo! 🤣🤣
Ahhhh, they looked at least 10 years old by my guess.
@@SarahnTuned most likely. They've been around since the 90s if not longer. Sears used to stock them when I worked for the company years ago. They were an upgrade from the sens-a-tracs.
Editing is on point.
Am I shocked? Please don't keep us in suspense... 😁
“Hello.. and welcome too.... TH-cam”
You pronounced Bilstein Correctly. Yay!
Johnny No 5, no disassemble!
Might as well check differential fluid and all the other fluids. Who knows when the last time it was serviced.
you're right about the rust, I think spent a few years in the salt belt region.
Hi Sarah
Enjoy watching and listening to you videos. Wondering if you have more outfits then tools.
I didn’t even know women like this existed! 😳
Sara you are wearing my favorite colors 😍 red,black,gray
Just the greatest channel 😊❤️
Like the pony tail look.
Your intro's are the best part of your vids. love it
that would mean the entire video is downhill from there I always think of the negative I'm sorry I'll shut up
You are the BEST sister!!! 👍🤗
9:16 Johnny 5 is Alive 🤖
Women don't need a broke stud. Yes your innuendo game was awesome!
Soooooo entertaining!🥰👍
That was pretty cool 😎 ; Sarah everyone and I love to watch you in action wrenching. My Wife reads the manual and I do the wrenching ya it’s teamwork I guess!!!!
Keep up the awesome content Sarah!!
Lol my explorer uses wood screws pretty much for intake manifold from factory
I didn’t realize cleaning what you are working on wasn’t a thing until I started watching youtube...
You were in the Air Force you can always wing it
Sent you a DM on Instagram Sarah 👍🥰 I may have parts for the Focus
😳😳
As usual you are all ways smokening and on fire 🔥. Oh something tells me that when you decide where you want things in the shop it will be done.
It’s really nice to see you having so much fun at work. You’re really hitting your stride! This episode was lots of fun!
Number 5 is alive!
The “Reflex” struts/shocks are made by Monroe. It’s just a model like KYB GR2.
So many references....hilarious....
I'm not reading all the comments at all. If this was mentioned already then never mind. My comment as I'm watching is, "You're just so dressed up while working on this Xterra today!".
I bought an 02 xterra this summer to do exactly everything you've done to this one. Not many vids out there on rebuilds for these trucks. Thank you so much for the video series on this truck. So thankful for all the detail and descriptions of all the parts and processes. Awesome awesome awesome!
Definitely hasn't spent its life in AZ. AZ is as dry as your jokes. Who am I kidding, I'm a sucker for PUNishment
This may be your picasso. Well done.
Wow Sarah that tricep action while Lifting up the truck ...gains 😁
I need a cold shower

Raising the Xterra may make it more prone to rollovers, I would also consider wheel spacers to widen the track a little.
🤨
@@SarahnTuned It was given the same 2 start rating as a Ford Explorer for rollovers. A higher centre of gravity will only make this worse. Little sis is cute. Take care 😊
