Here is a shot of the new place. Built in 1848 allegedly, could be older by a few years, place was pretty much re-done with new plumbing and electrical, new windows etc. etc. but I bought it for the garage. That's the Xterra in it, I could comfortably store 3 and possibly 4 Xterras inside...and that's the reason I bought the place lol! I got this outside of any housing bubbles last December before the bubbles grew into this community so I didn't pay 3-4 times the price like everyone is doing for houses right now....just madness.
Anyway, so I plan on doing 4 major things to the Xterra this year.
1. Install ARB front locker that has been sitting on a shelf for 2-3 years
2. A new mod to add a grease fitting to the leafspring eyelets (If you have poly bushings and Alcans, you know exactly why!)
3. New lower control arms with limit strap tabs and installing limit straps
4. New Cooper STT Pro M/T's
I am also going to give it a once over for rust prevention/fixing like dropping the rocksliders, going over the frame and all that jazz since the truck will never see another winter again. Thinking about changing the plastic piping around the fender flares to rubber weather stripping too.
I originally tried to find a king cab Frontier in manual as a daily, but that deal fell though. Picked up this bad boy to handle the day to day commuting, 2021 Colorado with the 2.8L Duramax.
Gets over 600 miles (1050 kms) per tank stock...this Friday did a little "deleting" and everything is much much better now! I wish the Xterra had this engine option, underrated but factory specs were 181-186hp and 370tq. Added 40 hp and 70tq to that. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do even if it's an auto (eww), but kind of glad the Frontier deal fell through..
