October 28th 2024 Slow speed wheelin', rolled on to driver's side on Daniel at Uwharrie National Forest, recovered with a winch from a good samaritan and was able to finish the trail and drive home. Oddly was not negotiating a super difficult section, just got frustrated and went a bit too aggressive and tippy. Currently has 190,338-miles on odometer and is driven/wheeled occasionally. Have been replacing parts as I can procure them and updating this thread as repaired.

Asking $3,900 with all parts included.

Bad:
-cracked windshield (hood flew up when I got on freeway; thought it was latched)
-bent Hood; latches properly when slammed closed
-bent and badly creased driver's front fender, front door (have replacement door pending installation), rear door
-broken driver's side rear door glass, both rear quarter fixed glass broken; janky but very effective and water/wind-tight repairs with Dynamat Extreme
-windshield wiper motor and/or linkage broken and repaired (probably from hood flying-up)
-moderate trail damage on passenger side
-driver's side-view mirror broken-off and replaced
-driver's tail light lens broken and replaced
-both side curtain airbags deployed so would maybe need replaced and module re-flashed, as well as headliner repair
-antenna bent and repaired
-airbag light "on" due to side curtain airbag deployment; front airbags did not deploy as speed was very low and no front impact


Good:
-White Knuckle Off Road sliders in excellent shape and worked great for recovery
-33" BFG KM3's x 5 (pizza cutters)
-All Dogs Offroad (ADO) Enhanced Fox Extended Travel Lift Kit with ADO Recessed U-Bolts and Parabolic Leaf Springs
-ADO Rear Diff Breather
-OEM Nissan Electric (switched) Rear Locker
-Nissan ABLS (excellent traction control system means you barely need the rear locker)
-Hill Descent Control (switched)
-JVC Carplay / Android Auto (wired) head unit
-all maintenance current as well as predictive maintenance completed (heater hose fittings and radiator)
-all lights including signal lights function properly
-new TPMS Sensors, Radiator, Water Pump, Serpentine Belt, Idler Pulley, Heater Hose Fittings (metal not plastic)
-clean Carfax
-clean North Carolina title in-hand
-runs and drives great

I’ve got a running 2007 dark blue Xterra S up here in VA
WAS going to be my project wheeler before I got my LX470 back
If it’s of interest, I can get pics to you if you want to think about keeping yours and grafting mine.
 
Thanks for reaching-out. So far I am just wheeling it as is. Got the radiator/light cradle straightened a bit allowing the hood to latch. Took it to Uwharrie again and did Dutch John with no issues. Would probably consider taking parts: driver's-side doors, hood, SRS curtain bags, driver's seat belt from a Silver Xterra.
