'06 Nissan Xterra Windows Sticker
'05-'06 Xterra owners are starving for aftermarket goodies because there simply isn't that much available for this very capable machine. Our initial search for products introduced us to a really great website: www.thenewx.org. The site's forums are frequented by '05-'06 F-Alpha-platform Nissan Xterra owners just like us who are hungry for knowledge. The website has been a great resource for us because it is dedicated solely to the new X. Already, we have even learned a few tricks about our project vehicle we didn't know. Next time you sit down at your computer, do yourself a favor and check out the website.
