LBX
Bought an X
- Location
- Long Beach, CA
Got it washed today.
What a crazy easy job...replaced the driver's window motor
If Taylor doesn't want those skids I'd be interested. Is that diff cover different than a c200k? If not I'll take it~I...looked at the stuff in my garage to sell. Gears, p4x wheels, a new c200 cover, and heavily used skids.
Nice, good to know! Mine were kinda slow until I put WeatherTech in-channel visors on and now both fronts are blue hair speed.. I've been told to use a graphite spray lube but never have gotten around to doing it~

What have I done for my X, lately? Not much I hate to say but I've got endless hp just sitting in a box in my living room, waiting..
I'm bored, on lunch, eating pizza and figured I'd write it down in XN public to get me moving on this growing to do list.
Work, life and health reasons I just haven't had the time or energy to get out and do this stuff. So..
Before I became an XN member I had heard about the rear diff breather and bought the OG kit with filter hose and fittings $$. Oh well. I got an outlet to replace a cigg lighter spot with 2 quick charge USB's and a voltage meter. It came with a good length of thick wire and ring terminals so I'm going to go through the firewall. I figure I'd better get all my wiring that I may need, with future add-on's, etc. and run it and just leave it tied up until I need it. I've got an LED fanless headlight kit that was supposed to be plug n play but I'm still emailing them back and forth trying to figure out what adapter or pssh whatever... Ugh. I replaced my reverse lights to bright LED but still have the 8k interior LED set to install. In that same box is my new President Andy CB, Firestik's door jamb mount with 18' of coax along with a blk 4' Firefly. I read a lot about mounts and decided on that one but after reading a post here I think I'm second guessing screwing into the metal with it prone to wallering out per say due to angles and am torn. I like the k400 I think it is but 80$ more when I plan to get my HAM study'n and test'n soon... Ugh. I've got aftermarket fog lights kit with harness and switch and bought some 5800lm 3500k amber bulbs to replace what came with 'em.. I'm running totally stock suspension, I think, and just bought off tnx a set of 5100's and some Nisstec spacers. Got a 20% coopin' and free shipping so I got a 2" set of shackles from Supreme Suspensions. I impulse bought a lot of this crap after becoming an Amazon Prime sucker and a few bourbons so I need to go back and read some threads about suspension to see if what I have will work and/or if I'll need anything else to get a cpl inches until I can do the whole thing.. Bought a shovel and an axe so I've gotta figure out a mounting solution for those. Not sure.. I kinda wanna put them on the hatch as now that I've got McMaster 175lb shocks on there, wow. Makes me think I need a ladder and roof basket now...hmm..
Holy Crap that's a lot of shti.. Maybe now that it's in print and I've re read it I'll get to moving a little faster.

Nice. Lookin' forward to seeing them installed and trail reports~Bought a set of 4 6” Apollo Pro halogen lights, I wanted Pro Sports but this will do. They’re on sale for $50 a light on amazon!
Sounds like you've got a good start to a lift. Those extended shackles will allow your springs to invert, so you need to look into Frontier P4X 4600 Bils for the rear for the added length and bump stop extensions to prevent the inversion which can lead to premature sagging.

5100s are for the front, you need longer rear shocks as well if you lift or you don't gain any down travel in the back where 70% of your flex comes from with this platform.So the 5100's I just got NIB aren't going to work? I got them and the slightly used nisstec spacers together and bought the shackles later. Is it because of the shackles that the 5100's won't work? I guess I've got some more reading to do~

Would you suggest doing a u-bolt flip while I'm down there? I still have zero armor underneath but plan on piecing a full kit together eventually.

I took her for a spin around the block.
That was my first time on Mashed Potatoes. That's a hell of a trail, super fun.

Or did you get rear shocks as well? 5100 usually refers to just the front. The rear 51 series are generally referred to as 5125s. Pedantic? Maybe, but it helps us mentally sort what you're talking about.
Also, what size spacer did you get?
Drove it. Lol. First time in weeks.
Would if could. Too expensive with my travels.Drive it Daily.
Ok! I had it in my head that the 5125 was for the rear since there's normally how they're advertised. My bad!They make 5100’s for the back too.
5100 just means they are model specific. 5125 is generic.
Basically what you did, except turn left after Mashed Potatoes.
Were you at ECXC?View attachment 10402
I think it’s self explanatory. Just wish I won the damn thing at ECXC raffle this year!!

Just bought anti-theft hardware for the lightcage and lights smh, the world we live in lolPurchased a Non P4X Air Dam at local Pull & Pay
I was thinking about something like this for mine recently. I'll have to look into it. I think my SIL has a Costco membership...Added this many years ago.. for the X.. keep pistol, gas cards, CC, cash.. Etc.. was posted on the Cough cough other sinking Site..
Thought I'd share Sorry dark photo.. Safe is both key pad & Manual Real key Costco $99.00. Doubt they even list it anymore?. The thing is Bolted to frame. Once seat slides back It's hidden. Nice & Secure.
Battery, I change out every year.. regardless.. They tend to leak acid! after 6 months.
Hope photo posts okay?. tad dark.. but yea get the idea..
Nice about the Xterra does has lots of hiding places..

Got the rally armor mudflaps mounted to the rear wheel wells last night
Cleaned the wood out of 2 of my rims and hammered the beads a bit straighter. Seam to be holding air again.
