Xterra meets Z71

The Xterra had a rough weekend. Nobody was hurt though.

Sorry about your loss. But, on the bright side, you now have easy access to your wiper-fluid resevoir

Damn! Sorry about your dammage. Glad no one is hurt though.

Got any plans for that Left rear taillight assembly? I'll take it off of you for a penance if not. Located in Boringham, AL. Will drive...

What's the story?

Gee, the vultures are already circling by the third post, geez. That X is far from totalled.

I'm not sure about any parts because I dont know yet if the truck will be fixed or totaled. (What do you people think).

To make a long story short the Z71 came around a curve too fast driving half in my lane. He locked up the brakes and his back end slid more into my lane and "BAM" hit his left rear bed. The X did manage to cripple the Z though. We knocked the rear axle completly off his truck.

So what happened to the Z71?

that truck is far from totalled. Unless there is frame dammage. They will repair it.

3rd pic down. Frame looks fine.

any updates?

A note to all the "stock bumpers are plastic and wimpy" folks, that bumper held up well, doinf just what it's designed to do.

It's not that far from totaled, I'd guess $10-12K to fix it.

well, if they don't total it, clean your wheels!! got brake dust!?!

Too funny! Yeah, rotate them tires, and you needed an alignment before the wreck, now you really need one.

Glad no one was hurt. Did both airbags go off? Cant' tell. I see the passenger's side.

good news is you get a paint job and can removed those decals on the doors.

The Xterra does not have a system to detect whether someone is occupying each seat or not so both go off regardless of how many passengers. The king cab frontiers do have a switch for the passenger side.

That and you can clearly see both bags in the picture.

And you are a Nissan technician?

Yeah, I'm a technician. But since I remember most things on a lot of vehicles, I don't know everything on one vehicle.

Pardon my ignorance.

Replacing your blinkers should be a snap now.

what yr. was the Z71? if its a 99 or newer, it has ABS and the brakes couldn't have locked up...that could have been part of why they didn't stop in time. My abs kicked in during Feb on my Z and caused me to slide into a tree when i was trying to turn into my driveway in the snow...it sucked...sorry about your loss!

I'm glad you are ok. Guess you won't be bassin' though.

The Z was older than 99 for sure but I dont know exactly.

What do you mean smitty I'm bassin like a beeacth in this pimp tight ford focus the rental company has me in.

The X should be back on the road by May 21 the body shop says.

Glad no one got hurt. hope you get your X back soon! Ford Focus Rules!!!

You get that thing back yet?

Does anybody have any pictures of an ARBed xterra that has been in a wreck? I dont recall seeing any before and Im kindof curious of how my bumper would stand up/what damage it would cause.

Still havent got it back yet. Was supposed to be 2 Fridays ago, then it was last Friday, now its supposed to be this Friday. They are going on 7 weeks now and I'm starting to get pissed, but there's not much I can do about it.

Once you get it back take it to another shop and let them take a look at it. Make sure its as perfect as it can be, you'll regret it later if not.
