how you going to do it with the stock air setup? i started parting together one and just was wondering on peoples thoughts.
Far as I know Im gonna go from the DIY I found back a while ago off the ClubX forums and run it under the fender, I'll just have to fab a fitting up maybe with some pvc or abs pipe to adapt it to the stock air box. I haven't quite gotten there yet but I will succeed! Im gonna run it up the whole pillar too, I prefer that look over just out of the hood.

Can't wait to see how this comes out so I can take notes!
Haha, I'll be sure to try and get some good pics of how I go about it. I'll finally be able to remove these dang resonators too! I just picked up a second job however so my free time just left the building for a little while, my only days off will be Sunday's now until I can find just one good full time job hah.
Well i got a chance to do the resonator delete finally. Im all budgeted out right now since we just spent a ton of money on tree work but after that i plan to do my PML and Snorkel. Can i ask which shackles most of you guys prefer, the adjustable or regular? Thanks.

Depends on if you want the lift the regular ones give you, or if you want less. But to answer your question, I believe most people run regular shackles
Ok, cool. I'll prob just grab a set of the regular ones when I get a chance to do so.

I just got the regular ones but I already had an AAL on and just needed a little more lift out of the rear.
Guess what I got
33x12.50x15's on old school hardbody rims! rims are a little scratched up so im gonna sand em down and bedline them. Not bad though for m/t's with 80%+ tread for 500 bucks. Hopefully i'll have the time to get them done in a week or so between working. Now I have to find the money for and Idle arm brace. woot. Excited though!

Those tires look really nice
Tires have about 80% tread on them, a few small chunks out of a couple lugs but nothing major. The rims came off a 95' Hardbody At least that's what the owner had them on when I came to get them, He was in the process of lifting that for 35's or 37's. Anyhow, I think I got a pretty good deal, Rims are a little beat up on the original paint that's why im sanding and prob bedlining them to hide some nicks. I'll be sure to get some pictures up though, of course. I know you guys all love pictures! lol

Welp got them all painted today and put on, just have to get them balanced they get a litl shaky around 60mph.
This is after the first coat of rustoleum bedliner.
Finished product.
Some driveway shots, Im loving the new stance, a lil wider but nothing overkill. Got a little more height out of it and a nice aggressive look finally! Already had an older couple compliment them when I went to pick up Chinese food this evening, which made me feel good. haha, the simple things in life. I'm liking the hardbody style rims too, something different.

Those look great! I bet you can't wait to try them off road. Such an aggressive tread.

Love them wheels and tires, looking good.
I've tried nail polish but it was a little difficult to get a thick enough coat without it running. I wound up using acryllic paint and it looks good.
Well, I finally found something...well, my dad found something in his garage that I've been looking for, for quite some time now. It's the only thing I have left from my 97' Nissan Hardbody. Now it has a very permanent resting place inside my Xterra. I think this is really my first "Interior" mod. haha.

Well, I finally got a chance to take my X off the beaten path today, first time since I put the new tires on which performed quite well. I also updated my rig to Synthetic Pennzoil the night before. Here's a few shots in action. Might have some more to upload tomorrow. Finally I got some dust and dirt on it and it rinsed the "Mall Crawler" vibe off.

Thanks guys, It was an awesome time, and even better my truck was used on FXO's Facebook cover which I thought was pretty sweet!

Stoked for the Hardrock trip coming up in December! I reaaaallly would like to get my snorkel done before then, however with the holidays in between I doubt it will happen. Maybe I can at least buy the materials lol, for me that's the toughest part is getting a chance to run across town to Home Cheepo to get them.

Well, my dad was apparently ripping stuff he didn't use out of his truck and called me over to his house for a "Surprise". Sure enough, this is what he had for me...
He's also going to let me have the PA system he had it hooked up to once he gets a chance to unhook it all. Yay, now I just have to buy the cable and figure out where I should mount it. It's much larger than the small cobra I planned on buying.

Hasn't been full on tuned from what I know, Just what my dad did. I may take it to CB shop to get it done right. But then again, i'll just be using it in the woods mostly.
