I had a chance to dive into the paperwork to see what I got. The Xterra is a 2006 model. It has a new windshield, new headlights. The interior is spotless. The winch is a Warn with a remote. In the last 50000 miles, the driveshaft, rear diff bearings and ring and pinion, rear e-locker, driveshaft, clutch, front struts, and rear springs have all been replaced. The tires are in great shape. LT265/70R17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. The spare wheel and tire match the rest. The engine is up there at 275000 miles but runs strong. It has always had regular oil changes with Mobil 1 synthetic. The timing chains have been replaced and the timing cover replaced with the updated model. Not a hint of a leak under it.

The EBCM needs to be replaced, but the guy gave me a factory Nissan part with it. Just have to install it and have it programmed. He also gave me the original front bumper and a spare PCM he bought just in case. I will have to replace one of the cats.

That looks like Shaffer's parking lot which is nearby. Their carry out is wildly above average.

I don't recall the name of the place (Shaffer's doesn't ring a bell), but it's just a little country store in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns outside of Northern Virginia.

Sounds like it's going to be a great rig. The Xterras are supposed to be pretty capable machines.

My daughter and I took the Xterra to the western slope on a scouting trip for the fall bear season today. It was a great trip for a short two-day affair.

You will see the haze from wildfire smoke in the pics.

Scrub oak thickets. Prime bear habitat when they are in hyperphagia.



The scenery.







Camp tool.



We feasted on wild strawberries.





Saw this fellow while we were driving across a lake damn.



Camp, and the rig.

@J.Roy Great pics all, but that F150 pic is absolutely gorgeous. Makes me want a new one! I have an 18 with 20 in wheels and am planning on finding a set of those for a better off-road tire.
