First off thanks for letting me in the forum. I am a two time 1st gen Xterra owner. I got rid of my first Xterra while I was in college for a car with better mpgs. However I quickly regretting that decision and started looking for another X. Which led me to my 2001 Xterra SE.
Here is a picture of Big Red completely stock the first day I got it.
Next which is always my favorite was tinting the Windows. I went with 2% all the way around. Also I cranked the t-bars to reduce the rakeage!
My next step on this endeavor was to paint all the plastics black, as well as the roof rack and rims.
Then was the much needed 2"BL, another one of my favorite mods!
Right after I made the great decision of ditching the stick tires and adding some 33's.
Of course naturally I got sick of those 33's so I got some new ones with a different tread pattern. Goodyear Wrangler MT 305's, and added a 20 inch light bar, as well as tinting the complete windshield in 5%. No sunshine here.
The PML was in there somewhere I can't remember but I do not have picture of it. So next on the list I got a really good deal on some 33x12.50x18 mud grapplers so I thought this was a great opportunity to upgrade my wheel situation.
Then naturally as you can tell I like to swap tires, so I got some new Atturo TrailBlades MT 33x12.50x18.
Let's see next I recently added some LED light bars in my fog light Holes because they were all hazed over, next on the list is getting the retrofitted headlights so they can match my light bars.
Annnnnd my finale I ordered the navara snorkel off of eBay and got it mounted yesterday, will be plumbing it this weekend. I only have a preliminary photo of the snorkel I will get one of it mounted on a better day it is raining and nasty out.
So that's my build of Big Red. Feel free to give me any suggestions of what to do next I'm always interested in new ideas. Thanks again for letting me on the forum.
