The misses actually got one then!!!!!!

Jay666d · 08-08-2019, 13:56

She sure did.

Lovely motor too!

One owner from new, 57K, FSH all on time from the same garage. (Nice neat little row of stamps in the service book!)

The mods we do have to bare in mind that this is her daily drive too...

There will be a Pedders lift kit, new wheels & tyre package, front nudge bar, Snorkel, roof rack, dog guard and telescopic ramp (Old dog see!) and Raptor Paint once I've practiced on my Trol!

Think she's just going for a hand-held CB rather than a built in unit with a whip on her vehicle.

Looks a nice motor, you’ll never be able to get away from her now.

Blocky10 · 08-08-2019, 21:28

Nice..... can't wait to see it transformed

Banshee · 08-08-2019, 23:43

Awesome mate, can't wait to see her try some of Elty's Red Routes

I'm looking forward to a project that I don't have to pay for!

I don't know if my Trol would even make Elty's Red Routes!

You've hit the nail on the head Rick! It's she who will be trying to get away from me!

Nice, I was thinking my daughter should get an Xtrail as she wants to come Overlanding too

Jay666d · 11-08-2019, 14:09

Yes!

Claire wants to Green Lane with us, but it also must remain a daily driver... I think the X-Trail is the perfect candidate! (Up to a 2014!)

Why up to 14? You must educate us Jay....

I know nowt about x-trails, and now you've bought one we can all learn a great deal

jims-terrano · 11-08-2019, 21:27

I like the looks of xtrail, clivvy a member who lives near me had one but the rear arches rotted out and the top of the strut made it’s way through the boot inner trims.
I guess typical nissan tin worm to look out for but that’s about all I know about them.

weedave · 15-08-2019, 05:39

My first 4x4 was an Xtrail - its what got me in to the whole thing.
I would spend days living out of mine on a lot of beach fishing excursions - I can tell you that on the beach they where one of the lightest treading machines going and i loved mine to bits. Hope you have as much fun in yours.

cheers
