FYI to get 3 inches of lift out of an Xterra you will probably need to "reindex" your torsion bars AKA removing them from the lower control arm anchor and re-orienting them to allow more room to turn the threads. You will also need to reinforce the steering system. The angles of the tie rods will cause all sorts of sloppiness in the center link. If you have oil leaks back there...be prepared for a failed starter motor too. Enjoying the build! Edit: I'm commenting in real time and just saw you refernce reindexing! Being off left to right at the adjuster position isnt a big deal as long as they both end up tucked into the frame rail. Hanging down like that makes it a prime target for rocks to break things. To see if you are maxed out...check the gap between upper bump stop and upper control arm. Leave about a half inch gap to allow for the UCAs to flex/bounce up and down. Dont go closer. :) yes I am an xterra nerd.
I think my favorite videos are with you helping your sister.
Just love your sence of houmer it brightens up a dull sunday night
Excellent work
She’s a lucky sister to have such a dirty minded big sister who’s an excellent mechanic ❤️
Loving the Xterra videos. Lots of funny innuendo jokes, actually made me laugh out loud, thanks for that.
The Xterra is quickly turning into my favorite build 😉
They are awesome trucks, I’m on my second and still own my first . Make sure you get a manual .
@@NCrdwlf wish I could have found manual shift
I love when you are fixing one thing, only to find you now have several others to do as well!
Your sister is going to have a whole new truck by the time you get done adding all these new parts
Right! So much for keeping it under $3 K
No disassemble, number 5 alive.
Thanks Sarah, need your content for my sanity!
Love the innuendo grenade in this video! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Damn, that Short Circuit reference made me feel old
NO DISASSEMBLE!!!
At least I wasn't the only one who caught that!
I just paused the video to comment on that, I love that movie! Are we gonna name the Xterra Johnny 5 now?
Yep. So glad someone else said it first. Now I can claim the comment jogged my memory instead of admitting I got it straight away
haha wtf Sarah isn't old enough to know that reference!
No disassemble, Johnny 5 is ALIVE!!! 😂 love the old movie reference and all the innuendo. Keep up the great content 👍🏼
Always found replacing all the wheel studs on a hub when one breaks saves revisiting the other half dead ones later, especially if the hub is coming off for a wheel bearing suggests it's been overloaded at some stage
The hub's gotta come off for the studs on the xterra. do them all and maybe the brake rotor while you're there, since it'll be apart.
Probably some meathead impact wrenching them on.
@@stanthology99% of wheels are put on with an impact. the difference is once in a while you get an idiot that cross threads or overtightens them. that's where you run into problems
I started washing your videos because of the xterra!! Love my xterra & your videos.
Guessing oil was collecting in the bell housing and leaked out when you jacked up the back.
Yeah, made sense the second time I jacked it up and nothing came out. I have a ton of new gaskets for this thing.
Beat me to it.
@@SarahnTuned yeah I guessing it is a straight six. Your going to have fun with the park plug between the block and firewall I would bet it has never been changed. Provide it is a six cylinder. Thank you.
@@kendramckenna7312 It's a V6. So, double the misery.
@@kendramckenna7312 negative, the VG33E is a V6.
The sound track was perfect. Very Monk-ish TV comedy-drama. You could be up for a CZcams Emmy Award.
This video set the all-time record for innuendos. (-:
Did anyone else notice the spark from where the frame contacted the jackstand when Sarah dropped the Xterra?
Sarah, I think your a legend
Even with dirt stains on her face, Sarah's still a cutie...btw, the innuendos and puns were fire!!!
and rapid fire
I just started the video but I'm loving all this xterra content
Hey Sarah nice work on your sister's truck ! 😎
I bought an 02 xterra this summer to do exactly everything you've done to this one. Not many vids out there on rebuilds for these trucks. Thank you so much for the video series on this truck. So thankful for all the detail and descriptions of all the parts and processes. Awesome awesome awesome!
"Hello. Welcome to...CZcams."
If CZcams was a store you could totally be the greeter at the front door.
it was a puddle of oil built up in the bell houseing from the rear main seal, it poured out when you lifted her rear up :)
I hate it when I lift her rear up and oil comes out.
Number 5 is alive!
Cleaning stuff before you work on something or after you've done something is the sign of a caring and smart mechanic! Great work, keep it up, you rock! 😛👍
I love your awkwardness, lol. Your sister owes you big!
The content is strong in this one.
I888889999999iiiiiiiiú77ý699j8u6
You are the BEST sister!!! 👍🤗
I love the innuendos and your overall attitude.
Just the greatest channel 😊❤️
Hey Sarah , love your channel . Keep the inuendoes coming.
All the best from Canada 🇨🇦
I'm loving the xterra videos. I have loved them since they came out. That's awesome that you guys found a 4x4 5 speed, that is exactly what I would want. As always keep up the great work Sarah
Perfect timing! Building an 03’ Xterra myself, so your paving a path for me to follow. Thanks!
Keep up the awesome content Sarah!!
I love how your videos show that these jobs take longer than a 30 minute cable t.v. auto repair show. 😆 Oh and how other areas that need to be addressed always appear.
Love seeing the progress. Can't wait for the next one!
Great job. Your sister is so lucky to have you.
Great content as usual Sarah 👏🏿!!
Yes ! awesome ! another xterra video !! great job on the lift !! I can't wait when I can lift my xterra up as well it will be so much better !
Previous owner installed monroe reflex shocks on it. Nice upgrade to bilstein.
So much innuendo! 🤣🤣
Ahhhh, they looked at least 10 years old by my guess.
@@SarahnTuned most likely. They've been around since the 90s if not longer. Sears used to stock them when I worked for the company years ago. They were an upgrade from the sens-a-tracs.
I have a 2001 Xterra. Suffered an engine failure. Replaced the engine. It still needs a lot of work with replacing old plastic rubber rusted parts. Love this truck. .Loving these vids. Wanna have mine wrapped as well. Great video!😊
Add to your parts list a spare tire. I thought I saw a crack in the one hanging under the truck. Those Bilstiens(sp?) look awesome.
Love the background music!
lol great video. oil is dripping out of the bellhousing. jacking up the back makes it drain. thank you for a little humor in these tuff times.
As usual, always entertaining and fun to watch. Keep the great videos coming, thanks.
"Is it in yet" 4 words that destroy any man's confidence!
Oh is that a bad thing? Asking for a friend.
@@tedbarsalou hilarious!!!
Luckily I got nothing to worry about with my 7.5 incher LMFAO
hahaha
I'll take your word for it.
Your intro's are the best part of your vids. love it
that would mean the entire video is downhill from there I always think of the negative I'm sorry I'll shut up
Sara you are wearing my favorite colors 😍 red,black,gray
Always a pleasure watching you open your box
I'm exhausted just watching cheers
This video was recommended and I figured sure why not.
Automotive, educational?
Welcome to the home of OCD car restorations, innuendo, mechanics hair tips n tricks and some of the finest work ever seen in a youtube video
@@ddd228 living vicariously by watching people repair cars since I can't.
"i need more parts to do it right" that could be my motto. it happens every time i work on my 1985 f 150. every project just grows and grows.
Love your humor .... Never change!!!!!!!!
Editing is on point.
I wish I had a sister that bought me car parts and installed them. Frankly I wish one of my brothers would do that...
That Short Circuit reference though!
It took about five of your videos to "get" you, but now I love them. You're great.
This is a great video Sarah, love the music and editing!
It's a rear main leak more thank likely that pooled up in the bellhousing, you just tipped it out! Dang yur beautiful Sarah.
If that truck had spent any significant time in the northeast, you would never had gotten those bushings apart with just lube and a wrench. We usually need a cutting torch.
I’m from NH, I know 😉
This is gold. Might have to watch it twice to learn anything y'all
It’s really nice to see you having so much fun at work. You’re really hitting your stride! This episode was lots of fun!
you're right about the rust, I think spent a few years in the salt belt region.
Love that you clean/detail when you are doing work on a vehicle; I'm the same way!
Thanks! Love your vids on the Xterra.
The inuendo force is strong with this one.....hmmmm.
and a new world record tally of inyourendos!
Looks better every time!!!
i'm thoroughly enjoying the refresh on your sisters car. i've always wanted one of these.
Soooooo entertaining!🥰👍
That spare tire is looking pretty rough...I'd be thinking about replacing that before I need to use it.
Thanks for your service
Probably the best video I have seen in years on how to lift a Nissan Xterra DIY n 🙌🏼
Your lounge room would look like a shipping warehouse lol
Johnny No 5, no disassemble!
So many references....hilarious....
The way you installed them was visually satisfying to me!
Your sister almost made an appearance in this episode. Keep the innuendo's coming. Hello form NS, Canada.
Lets place wagers on if the X will clear the garage opening after the lift.
It looked close at the end lol.
Don't bet against the house, just saying.
I’ve had HD trucks and a Raptor in here before, it clears.
I haver a buggy that rolls in and out of my garage on dollies because it wont clear with 48s on it. It would if I still had a set of 40s. lol
As usual demonstrating amazing skills. Another great video.
Celine's Nissan makes great content as well as helping your sister. The grill looks amazing out of the box!! It's become impossible for the average person to use sexual innuendos in casual conversation. Your's are so funny and hurt no one. I agree with your stance of not approaching anyone with a huge channel for collaboration. It seems you're happiest doing things your way and it's working well judging from fan feedback and advertising. You're great, just the way you are!
Curious, can you get it out of the garage door after you're done?
I started watching this channel vecause well, cars and cute. I stayed for the awkward and innuendo.
As a Navy veteran I'm absolutely in love with your sense of humor... Keep being you, never change... Much love from El Mirage Arizona...
You are no doubt one of my favs to watch while I am teleworking... Your little underlining innuendo's crack me up... Just plain diggin u.
The “Reflex” struts/shocks are made by Monroe. It’s just a model like KYB GR2.
Your just so cool and gorgeous loving the innuendo and bants have a great week oh to be younger
Love this Xterra videos... Please keep them coming 🙃
Totally got the Johnny 5 reference. Lol "No disassemble!!!" 🤣
Wow Sarah that tricep action while Lifting up the truck ...gains 😁
Thanks for the hair tip, just wish I had more hair.
At vid ending, great parts order list... also that wheel stud. Gracias for a fun video 👍
DO-IT-RIGHT SARAH!
9:16 Johnny 5 is Alive 🤖
so much innuendo and double-entendre here!
WOW! You're simply amazing with the truck work!
I love this woman. Great sense of humor and attitude. My kind of mechanic. Beauty and humor. 🔧😇
