Neither version of the Xterra is, right out of the box, a winner. It's a solid base to mod. You want to lift it, put big tires on it, and drive over rocks slowly? Then do it. I know it's fun. Happy wheeling.

Some want to put long-travel suspension, work on developing a faster, desert-friendly runner? Then let them do it.

You have to mod yours to get it where you are happy (at least, many have, and many will continue to).

What the hell do you care that Todrick wants to mod his this way? More power to you, Jason. Have fun.
