Ga mud build

[Ga xterra]

This is my 2003 xterra it has 35/12.50/17

looks good! how much lift do you have? do you get a lot of rub with the 35's?

 

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

Welcome! That thing looks great! It looks like you need some sliders though

 

[Ga xterra]

I was told it has a 7in lift it only scrubs a little and yes I do need some sliders I just can not decide on the ones I want

p&p new sponsor to us has some smoking deals on them right now.

Looks good! How long have you had it? If you haven't had it long.. probably be expecting to do some repairs on steering components if you're still running 35s on the IFS setup.

 

[Ga xterra]

I have had it for about 6 months I have been looking into the different steering setups is the stock steering weak

 

[yellowx16]

stock steering system isn't bad, it's just that 35s are a bit much for the stock components, especially if you're going off road with it.

 

[Ga xterra]

I have not taken it off road very much but I plan to any suggestion on what I should do to the steering

 

[caseycamby]

Mainly just beef everything up.. Tie rod ends and adjusters, idler arm brace (which it may already have with the lift..) and possibly a centerlink.. those are just some common problem areas with our steering.

Looks great man.... Shouldn't rub since a big chunk of the front metal is gone

 

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

I had that issue to... There are soooo many different options! White Knuckle, P&P (new sponsor to forum), Shrockworks, Rocky Road Super Sliders, custom made, etc. I ended up going with 67" Trail gears because they were the most economical, I liked the round tube look and I planned on welding them on anyways instead of bolt-on. Good luck in your search

 

[Ga xterra]

The front fenders are still stock they still have the mud flaps

 

[Ga xterra]

Im not sure if any thing has been done to the steering I traded a 97 z71 beat to crap straight up title for title it was sitting the way it is now I have 3150$ in it so I need to spend some money on it starting at tax time with some Nitto trail grapplers

[Ryandrew]

Now that's a freakin paint job!

 

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

AH MY EYES! Haha, that's pretty cool. Haven't seen one like it.

 

[Prime]

It's so green!!!

 

[Ga xterra]

I was thinking about doing this one the same color

 

[Dbrown016]

Cobb county? Thats like Marietta right? Im headin down to SPSU for college next year. Or should I call it KSU? Maybe you can show me around to some wheelin spots down there

 

[Ga xterra]

Yea I work about 5 miles from ksu there is not many places to go off-road ing out there but out in the paulding county area there is a lot of places to go

 

[KBTerra]

Nice looking X GA Xterra. I'm just south of you in Gray, Ga.

 

[SKAVYNGR]

Is that a BL with an SL?

 

[Ga xterra]

Yea it has both on it

 

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

I was thinking about doing this one the same color

If you did think about doing it the same, or close to the same color as your previous one, what are your thoughts on using this?

The "Predator Green" would be awesome. I have a buddy who did his 4Runner in it and, I must say, it looks bad ass and is tough as nails. It is a little spendy though, but worth it. And unlike most bedliner-type materials, this stuff still has a little shine to it. I am thinking of doing part of mine in this stuff but in "Sans Panties..." Seriously, that is the name of one of their greys.

I saw that. Real winners. Lol

 

[Ga xterra]

Has any one ever got a valve job done on there x

 

[Muadeeb]

We have hydrolic lifters on ours, so no adjustments are possible

Sent via wild ferrets on crack

 

[Ga xterra]

I have valve guide seals leaking so it is smoking a little

 

[caseycamby]

I have valve guide seals leaking so it is smoking a little

Mine's doing the same thing.. It's the valve cover gaskets. I'm probably gonna replace them here pretty soon.

 

[Ga xterra]

Have you took it to shop and seen if that is it

 

[caseycamby]

Have you took it to shop and seen if that is it

I haven't taken it to the shop but I'm about 98% sure that's it.

 

[Ga xterra]

Does yours smoke after you have been sitting for a min out the exhaust

 

[caseycamby]

No mine doesn't out of the exhaust pipes, mines does it from under the hood. I believe the oil leaks out of the gaskets and drips down on the exhaust/headers and creates the smoke and it leaves a pretty strong, rank smell haha
