Long hellos
Sorry for the hiatus (mods, you may move this if you see fit). It's been a busy summer away from home and I didn't get to do all I had wanted. I've checked in periodically for advice/public opinion regarding components and some how-to's. I figured this rig was in rough shape but I didn't know the extent of neglect this little thing had experienced. Turns out it'll need quite a bit of TLC but I'm ok with that. This way I can put the stuff on I want. Here are a couple of pictures of my Xterra.
Here's a picture of the rig shortly after I took possession.
Never the less, I did get to get out and play a little. Added a kayak rack for the summer and replaced the black non-functional signals with shiny new turn signals in this image. I'm pretty sure I had replaced the shocks by this time as well. Went with Ranchos.
And another more recently. It's got new tires, Cooper AT3s.
So now I'm working on replacing the power steering pump and there's a lot of front end work in the near future. Hopefully that will get it "caught-up" mechanically and I can work on more mundane things like the headlights and windshield. I'll probably wait until spring to do the windshield. So far this has been a fun project. I look forward to posting more pictures as it comes along.
