Yeah, I had to cut up the cruise unit bracket to organize things better, but both items are now securely mounted with rubber isolation. The use of space in the engine bay is pretty inefficient from the engineering perspective.
Now I've got some Blue Sea fuse blocks to play with, and I'm still on the fence as to where to jam them.

Haha, the Xterra forums are awash with stories that shops charge the full labor price, but never actually change the #6 unless there is a misfire code. Personally, I found that it took two patient mechanics (me and a buddy), a "custom" dirt scraping tool (rifle cleaning rod with a nail), custom shop-vac extension, a mirror, the right combination of 3/8 extensions and knuckles, some duct tape, and about 45 min for that one plug. It was a straight-forward process with no swearing, but it did take some time. Judging from the corrosion on the plug and the fact that the electrode arm was almost completely gone, I figure mine was factory.
