    Hello, I have a 2003 3.3 4x4 and the rear “cover” on the diff is leaking from rust. I am new to the xterra world and am wondering if the old cover and be cut off and a manufactured cover be welded on, rather than replacing the whole axle assembly.

    I’ve always liked the idea of ditch lights – they’re super helpful when driving on a forest road at night looking for camp spots or just as deer lights when driving through the mountain roads up here in Washington.

    Been on the forum for a while, figured I might as well (finally) post some pics of my X and start this build thread! I'm in British Columbia, Canada. I got the X a couple of years ago and it has been a trusty exploration machine, getting me to some high and remote places. I've been wrenching on...

I would like to replace it with one from a...
