DaGrootX racing mint 400 behind the scenes and race footage.
Behind the scenes race prep for the 2023 mint 400.
We raced class 7 and made it 70 miles before calling it. Turned out to be a bad radiator cap that plagued us from the start. Coolant system wasn’t holding pressure. We battled through a belt coming off and 20 miles of no power steering. The truck did well.
The Nissan xterra race truck is truly awesome to drive. More mods and improvements needed but she rips!

Xterra Race carnage. What did we break.
zhlédnutí 256Před rokem
We raced the xterra race truck at the California 300 in Barstow California. We made it 15 miles before we slid off a mountain and got stuck in a precarious spot. We broke an axle and this is the aftermath once we got home.

California 300 race recap. Xterra race truck class 2000. Racer number 2077. We got through tech, left the start line and got 15 miles under our belt before I ran out of talent and went off a hill. Tried to drive down to the bottom and go back to a lower trail and broke an axle when we got stuck. All in all I’m proud of my team for helping me get her off the starting line. Everything after that ...

We signed up to race the California 300 race in Barstow California. We will be starting in class 200 with some other big trucks. The xterra race truck needed some final touches to get it through tech inspection so I spent a bunch of time with some good buddies race prepping the race truck.

We registered for the California 300 race in Barstow and wanted to get our main sponsors logo on the truck for the race. Simi Valley wrap and tint (SWAT) came on board and got us squared away with a killer new wrap. The xterra race truck will be making her racing debut October 14 and we will be ready to take on the desert!!

    There is a user on TheNewX forum who makes a plug and play wire harness pigtail that does the locker mod. It takes all of 30 seconds to install, and the same amount of time to remove it if you want to put it back to stock config for any reason. I have one installed on my 2010 Xterra OR. The locker mod and being able to use the locker in 2wd or 4hi is an absolute game changer.

    Have you thought of getting the AE headers? I'm thinking of that. Also, I'm wondering about engine swap. 4.0 to the newer 3.8. Wondering if it's a plug-in play or if there's a lot of differences with mounting. I have about 240k miles on my '06 Pathfinder.

    • @Dagrootx
      @Dagrootx Před rokem

      No. If you were to swap just the upper arm the tire would be extremely crooked. The titan swap moves the wheel out 3” on each side. So if you just installed the upper arm the top of the tire would be set out 3” and the bottom would stay stock.
