So much satisfying to watch someone drive a modestly modded compromise SUV WELL compared to the cowboys who throw their no-expense-spared rock-crawlers around carelessly. Good to see an understanding of how the traction control works off-road - so many back off the throttle the moment a wheel starts to slip rather than letting it spin a bit and the ABS has time to kick in and send power to the other wheel.

Love my 04 T30. It's my daily driver. Family wagon and road trip holiday camper, and also gets up the mountain on icy roads 30 days a year during ski season. Simple 215/70/16 all season tyres (I'm rarely in mud). Just got some side runners froma wreckers so o dont have stand all over my seats when accessing the roof racks.

I really like this generation of the xtrail. Really want to get one as a project car.

Just bought one today!

Awesome tips mate!

I just bought an 06 X Trail in mint condition, love it, going to be working my way through these mods, thank you for the info.

Waaoooh!Thanks Bro that was so helpful keep sharing.

I’m buying my T31 X-Trail tomorrow!!! So excited! And just subbed :)

Im looking at getting one! have subbed!

Subbed. Great video

Nice videoo!! Hello from México! 🇲🇽

I agree with you there. The most important upgrade in 4Wdriving is skills. Good advice 🙂

Bravo!

Another very informative vid.... Well done. I'm currently looking at lifting my T30. Either going the way you did or superior engineering spacers. I'm leaning towards the spacers to keep the softer ride. Cheers

Useful vidio 👍

I've put on 225/75/16 with the 50mm spacer lift which gave me an 80mm lift at the top of the wheel arch. And as always a great informative vid, thanks

Youre doing awesome stuff, reallzy like that ! I have a question do you know if a roof tent rack of 1800x1200 woill Fit on the xtrail?

Thank you very much. At 5.16min into the video, I decided, get the real 4x4 with low range. It would eat this trail without much effort and no damage.

2011 T31 has 17"/18" ally rims

Really impressed how it reacts to the places you're taking it. I was also wondering how big is the cargo area when the rear seats are down, I mean in inches or CM, sadly we only see the CF or in L so to me it's kind of useless. Thanks

I’ve got a stock 2006 Nissan xtrail with 215/60/17 tyres on come standard with them

I just bought an 06 automatic, and I'm looking to delete the precat to prevent the issue with catalytic pieces being sucked into the engine

I want a picture of your use of the 4WD key while driving and when it is switched off and on ... Good luck, great for your driving

Thanks for all your work and content! What are your thoughts on the T30 vs T31 as an occasional offroader? Any noticeable differences? Cheers!

for this kind of road, you just need front wheel drive... use the momentum... it works OK 😁😁👍

Hi Mate. Great video as always. I’m from Malaysia. I love camping and outdoor stuff. I planned to buy the 2nd hand t30 model auto transmission 2.0 litre. Need your advice what are the things to look for before buying the car. Really loves the T30 model.

In the process of buying a 2009 Ti. Not the exact specs I would seek out. Heated leather seats and a sunroof are things I could easily live without, but since I'm getting it from a very good friend for a great price, I'll live with them... Does have the CVT and it's a replacement that was fitted a bit over two years ago. Drives exceptionally well and since I won't go close to putting it through the type of gentle punishment shown here, I don't think I need worry as much as some claim I should. Despite the known cvt issues, the engine felt and sounded great. I've owned three Nissans (2 Pulsars and a Pintara) and they were all very reliable engine-wise. Price is the main feature I can't ignore and reason for purchase.. Easily $2,000-$2,500 cheaper than anything comparable online. That said, I also think it is a sound buy simply because it is so damn practical for what I intend using it for (outdoor work on rural properties that don't require a full 4x4 to get around in). Seems a shame that many newer SUVs seem to be more designed for doing the school run and shopping, than getting dirty sometimes.

This channel is an awesome find for me. I have the exact same model and colour, complete with awning and roof basket! I looked through a few of the comments and saw nothing about prices. Do you have a rough guide for the cost of these mods?

Nice vids I haven't done much to my x trail yet. I have a 06 x trail Bonavista edition with 17 inch rims. What would be the largest tire I could get away with having 30mm strut spacers and 1.5 wheel spacers?

hey mate! Do you drive off-road with the ESP on or off? I've heard ESP does control power distribution between the wheels while offroading, kind of like a diff lock on larger 4WDs.

I was told by Bridgestone that 235’s were not legal on my t31. So I went for 215/70/16.

Hey mate, really good channel ! I bought a T30 last year (2002 model) and I removed straight away the strut spacers that the previous owner put on them. I had a CV boot that was damaged after few months and I was suspecting the spacers of being the rootcause. But... Since then my X-Trail seems to be a bit "low" for me, and I'm searching to lift it a bit. I'm not doing real off-roading to be honest and yes it would be only for the look. What would you recommend? So the spacers are 47mm tall precisely with 215/65/16 tires. I was thinking about putting them back, but isn't that too much for the drive shaft and the cv boots? Maybe a mix between bigger tires and smaller spacers would be better to not put too much stress on the drive shaft? I was thinking about something like 225/70/16 tires and 30mm spacers. I would like to have these 5cm more in height that I had previously with the spacers. Anyway, your channel is a great discovery ! Thanks for your time and your job !

When your talking about reliabiliy loss with a 225/70/16 A/T tire what exactly do i have do look out for?

hey mate, just wanted to know if it’s possible to take a front wheel drive on these conditions, I’ve god all terrain tyres and suitable ground clearance but do I need a AWD?

My stock xtrail with road tyres would cruise thru that track with no qualms

nos puedes compartir el link donde compraste el radiador de aceite de la caja de cambios? Gracias

The greatest skill is knowing your vehicles limitations. And your vehicle is out of it's depth where you are driving. Yes it does overcome the obstacles in the end, but the damage and possible damage you cause on vehicle and terrain outweighs the vehicles limitations.

Helloo! great videos about xtrail. I have the same machine, and I like your tires. What tire size do you use?? 215/70 r16 I guess??

Hi, I would to know your opinion about manual trasmission on x trail: is it ok for off road? thanks, Francesco

Hi there. I need an advice. I have x-trail (T-31) diesel engine. I bought it as a used car. Everything is OK, but it has some strange tire dimensions: 225/75/17 all seasons. I can not even find a snow chains for it. Is it OK if I drive with them, because they are new ones, or I should change them? Should I expect false fuel consumption data on my board computer, because those dimensions are not suggested on any Nissan user manual... Thanks, Peter, Macedonia

What do you think about Remap(aka chip tunning) at T31 2007-2014, 2.0 dci 150hp/320Nm up to 180hp/400Nm?

Hello Marvin, what the size of your awning, thank you!

You always mention that your tires are brushing in the engine side when wheel is turned full, how you living with it? Or you just don't spin your wheels full to avoid brushing??

In your opinion, is the X trail T30 chassis to some extent stronger that Nissan Almera? I have red in wiki that T30 uses Nissan MS/M&S/FF-S platform (I am not sure I know what it is in details :) ), shared with the Nissan Almera and the Nissan Primera, which are simple light city cars not dedicated and equipped for any harder terrain. Does T30 chassis still have some parts that are more rugged/durable than in Almera/Primera ?

Has probado desconectar las barras estabilizadoras para lograr un mejor flex??

Hey mate, for an 09 X-Trail, in Queensland what is the legal lift limit? and can you do 35mm lifted springs with strut spacers or can you only do them one or the other? looking at running 215/70R16 with the spacers and springs as well

czy zawieszenie zmieniałeś dedykowane pod swoje auto? ...czy dobrałeś ...pierwsze leprze pasujące?

This may be a stupid question if you go bigger tyres can that throw out your Speedo?

Any idea of you can go down in wheel size to 15"?

Boos Bash Plates are no longer around

Is this a locked centre vehicle or open all the way through? Not familiar with Xtrails.

Do you think a 225 65 or 70 17" will rub

Pressure for off road?

I think you can add a limited slip rear differential from a Dacia Duster.

How much can you lift without changing struts?

у меня 40 мм проставки

привет,а я её побольше offroad

я люблю сваю машину..................у меня всё,можжно

brave cameraman to film from the back of the vehicle

Ko ko

Why was he stopping and not using his momentum? You will go nowhere.

I was going to by ax xtrail but you just showed how useless they are WTF

CVT works just fine for soft roaders . You lack 4x4 experience .

Most of the obstacles , you backed off the vehicle a bit and gave a momentum then crossed..... Right . So mate, wheres that auto transmission better than manual thing?? What about your concept of little above stall rpm go?

Sliiy to watch just a kid being spoilt kid being silly.
