60k is nothing to balk at. I'd almost take the CVT. Because that's only a 40k mile car. On a Subaru that's practically still new.


CVT is junk. So much junk. Ex's failed in the altima at 94k, co workers failed in their ford at 95k. Ill never buy another CVT anything, ever.
 

The Evil Chip

First Fill-Up (of many)
OK my whores. Got an Xterra question. I know, the gall....

Wifey drives Edelweiss, the 2nd gen. Looking at aftermarket bumpers. Not looking to turn the truck into a rockcrawler. Objective is more to win any close encounters with deer. We think we've narrowed it down to the ARB and the hefty aluminum bumper.

Which would you pick? Hefty? ARB? Something else? Skip,it and buy beer instead?

Advantages We see of hefty: light, no suspension mod needed. Disadvantages: more expensive, doesn't seem as "deer tested" as the ARB. Looks like a 6 month wait.

Advantages we see of ARB: seems pretty well deer tested, cheaper to purchase but might need suspension mod. Quick availability. Disadvantages: don't know about the cost of suspension mod.

Thought about the schrockworks as well, but a one year plus wait?

I Smile when Gasoline Can Freeze
I really need to do some thing as I haven't been treating my poor 3.3 nicely this last year. It sees the red line every time it goes out as most of the guys I wheel with are big block truggy's. Also if anything I think I would get better fuel millage.

ARB ugly. Shrock is probably best built. But 9 months is a long time.

I used to dog the shiat out of my 1st gen. It can take it.

Arb is super fugly. Another option is Hardcore offroad. Fairly light for a steel bumper. Don't know exact weight, but it's lightish.

Suspension wise, you could just throw some OME coilovers on to regain lost height on it and call it a day.
