Bet you're glad the hunt is over, that by itself can get exhausting.

Yeah, I am glad it's over. The car dealers are so damn annoying, they clog up Craigslist with obnoxious ads for their overpriced turds and they repost them several times a day every damn day. Got really tired of constantly sifting through all that shit.

That silver Xterra did end up selling over the weekend which surprised me. It just seemed like it had seen its fair share of abuse and it was going to need new tires fairly soon as well. I suppose that's why it was priced where it was at.

damn no 2wd position? probably get about 17 MPG

Unit bearing front end, spinning that whole assembly is costing MPG even when it isn’t engaged.
There are conversions to install manual lock out hubs but they’re expensive and not available for every model.

Lol. I know all of this. I own a 2003 and have worked on a shit ton of them. You still get better mileage out of one you can put in 2wd rather than one that is full time 4wd.

I had it in my XJ and it's still my favorite system from any of the others I've had.

Yeah didn't realize that's what they call the system that has 2wd settings.
