I already have 666 tattooed behind my ear. Come to think of it I was born with that tattoo? :rocket:

After lightly tapping the filter on paper towels. After other people saw how clean my truck was inside after wheeling I installed a couple other for members of AZXC.

Here is the new beside the old and the part number on the box for reference material.

I hope these pictures turned out ok,,,,, it was before my digital days.

Has anyone installed one in a 2000 model? I inquired with the dealer and he made it sound as though it wasn't even an option. Also, if it can be done could someone give some details on the cutting that was mentioned?

Thanks!

Aythya:

It certainly can be done on a 2000 model. I just did mine two weeks ago. Simple procedure. The only thing that needs to be cut is a slot (you'll see it in the instructions for the filters). Just remove your glove box (for access-4 screws if I remember correctly), cut that out with a sharp X-acto or box-cutter type knife per the instructions, slide the filters in, re-attach you glove box, and you're off and running. I would order the filter from xterraparts.com. The Dealer may try and jack you for the cost of the filters. Xterraparts.has good prices on the dealer available things. (Filters should run you around $30 or so.)

Yes, you can. And if the dealer is giving you that line, I would be warry of their other "advice" or "recommendations" for repairs.

I've had one in my 2000 since the day I drove it home. It was the first thing that I did to it. My dealer knew about it and had the filter in stock.

I also agree with Schlud, that if the dealer is that stupid,,,,, beware!

:frog: Thanks to everyone! I'm looking forward to having a cleaner cab and not breathing so much dust!

When I purchased my xterra there were over 30 on the lot and every one had an in cabin microfilter.

I guess I should change it, it has been 14 months. I always wondered where the damn thing was. Never did take the glove box out to see if it was back there.

D'Oh
