if it gets at least a better front diff with a good locker, I most want to see ME in a 3rd gen
That's what I've really wanted too, but it's really crossing over into the Toyota community & being more of a copy cat than anything [this includes my comment about the floor board lights]. Or if they could do something with a window hatch opening..... many SUVs have it... so it's not exactly copying.
ya but the hatch doesn't let you roll the window down and drive around with it. that's is what i was getting at. i like the whole window being able to roll down and do what you need to do with it. it's not only toyota now though. i know titans cane do it and some other suvs do it also. i believe its like replacing the hatch.
Didn't go through the whole thread, but a solid front axle would be a nice option...
How about a panel of empty switches for accessories like the Ford Raptor does.....just simply hook up the accessory and insert red/black wire to the switch connectors and you got light/winch/whatever!
I would like to see it come with 33's stock and front & rear lockers. A cooler/heater in the console would be a bonus.
I honestly doubt that'll happen, IFS appeals to more people that buy xterras, it's a more comfortable ride...not everyone buys an X to hardcore offroad it.
now THIS I like....if not a panel of switches, at least a panel FOR switches, put blanks in it from the factory, let the user install whatever they like there....
agreed, bump stock on the OR/Pro-4X to 33's instead of 32's....
a front locker is certainly needed, and if ARB can do it, then so can nissan...it'd give more of a competitive edge against the rubicon...but don't change the transfer case ratio...
if you mean a heat/ac vent for the back seats in the back of the console, I agree....if not, I'm not sure what you mean with the "cooler/heater in the console"
I just meant as an option.
removable hard top would be nice... so would moving back towards 1st gen size... just hope they don't make it pussified like the new pathy
They shouldn't...then nissan wouldn't have any "off road" type vehicles. I think more technology would be nice like upgraded stereo maybe with a nab system...also speakers in the rear doors. Its so hard to hear music with the windows down and driving because the speakers are so far back.
A removable hard top would be sweet but I don't see it coming.
Maybe a 4 runner rear window that can go all the way down.
removable hardtop? how would you do that with a hatchback?
They just would okay!
Or in my case where there is a empty space (the first aid kit spot)
Its part of the xterra icon and a previous owner just had to take it!!! GRRR
Here's my list:
Better stock suspension, I don't want to have to lift the next one just to keep the back end from bottoming.
Diesel option. I like the torque, the fuel economy, and the fact that it will run until it runs out of air or fuel.
Bigger fuel tank. I should be able to match my wife's full size sedan for range, even if it means more gallons.
Larger wheel arches. I want to fit bigger tires without having to melt the fender liners.
Real skid plates. The stock ones on the Off Road/Pro-4X won't take a hit.
Manual transmission that can use aftermarket gear oil. Try putting aftermarket gear oil in the manual and it will eat itself.
No more Strawberry Milkshake of Death for the automatics. Stop running the tranny fluid through the radiator, give it a proper oil cooler and be done with it.
Fuel sending unit. Sort it out.
Taller ride height. With a 2" lift the X looks like it came from the factory, make it so.
Heavy Duty option for rear springs for towing and heavy loads.
Aggressive styling. Your inspiration for styling should be the A-10 Warthog, not an F-16 (Tank-busting gun an optional extra)
Flexible mud flaps. They should fold when stressed, not crack.
Locking wet box. I keep gear up there all the time, I'd like it to be there when I need it.
More tie-down points - and make them out of metal.
Better stock tires. The Pro-4X should come with real off road tires with an LT rating.
Stronger front diff, and make it a locker.
Better aftermarket support. Release the auto-CAD files for critical stuff like the front and rear frame assemblies, skid plates, etc. so aftermarket suppliers can get to work and don't have to strip a vehicle down and reverse-engineer stuff.
Oh, and this is a nitpicky thing: don't run a steel brake line over the rear diff cover. It makes it a pain to get it on without messing up the bead of sealant.
could be a good idea...maybe partner with VW for this and get a bit of their "clean diesel" tech into the X so that while it does have the extra range and power, it also does better for the environment?
