Phase 1 has taken awhile to get going. The next mods will come more frequently as I have no more payment.

This is when I first got it. I had already taken off the mud flaps and side rails.




Then winter came and I installed some new headlight bulbs and new fog lights to go play in the snow in the mountains the next day.




Had some fun in the snow and he X performed great.




Until it got late and everything iced over and I met 5 other vehicles in a ditch




At the dealership getting fixed up.



Time passed where nothing was done. Trying to pay off doctor bills etc.
Then I got my B&M Light Bar and KC DayLighter Lights








After that I got one of our companies backup cameras that we manufacturer/distribute and installed it. 5.6” Inch Screen







Then it came time to get the rattle can out and do a little painting...






In Feb. I started piecing together parts for the PML, BL and wheels/tires. I got the majority of it from people on the forum.
Then on seXTERRA Mod Day with the help of (drbandkgb),(Xterror04),(greentennx),(cllowe),(MechPatt587) everything was installed. Possibly the best day ever lol








A lot of this would not be possible without out this forum! You all are great and thanks for all the help!

Now its time to start planning for Phase 2

looking good!

Got my Yakima LoadWarrior this weekend from TN4x4Xterra from the Meet and Greet in Knoxville, TN. Thanks again Stevin. OP updated with photos of it installed.

Damn you . I waned that but skids seemed more important

Lol I have been fighting for weeks now and just had to bite the bullet skids are more beneficial anyways haha

Looking good! And you're welcome!

Glad you like it!

do you use the stock roof basket in addition with the load warrior with extension? Or just the load warrior?

I wont necessarily "use” the stock one. I never even thought to take it off. I guess I could though......

I was just curious, because I know some people like using the sun roof, and with the extension you'd still get the full rack potential, but still be able to open the sun roof. That's the only thing I don't like about keeping the basket up there (although I do love keeping all that muddy stuff on top of the X)

If I had the sunroof I would prob. take the OEM basket off, but since I don’t......I’ll just leave it for now.

That basket looks great from behind too. Following you out of Knoxville I had a great view. Lol. Ties in nice. Hope it didn't hurt the light connections though.

Nope it's all good

When do you get your RLC?

Sick rig man, definitely envious of the mods.

Can we get a GB going for one of those rear view cameras? And can it come with a screen like that?

Haha yes, everything went well! Thank you for the parts

Nice X sir, very clean looking build so far.

Are you going to do upper control arms to get the rest of the lift and travel you can out of the front or is it not rubbing as bad as it looks like it might be in those pictures with those 33's?

Thanks you sir!

It's not as bad as it looks but I do plan on doing the UCA's and other things. Extra travel is always a good thing

I am looking at do a 3" SL and new steering system before NXM2 (fingers crossed)

So I received my GoPro Hero2 today. It was a sales incentive from work. WOOOHOOOO

What kind of steel did you get for the sliders? I ask because I made a set myself. I'm no expert, but I did learn a few things from making them that might help. If you have questions.

That's what I used too. If you're gonna use 1/4" plate for the supports, make the horizontal support tube (the one that connects to the slider and the bolted plate) at least 5 1/2" long. Any shorter will cause the slider to NOT come out far enough under the pinch seam. Just something I noticed after making mine.

Come on guys.. Whore some one else's thread up

apologies...you can move my post to his build. I didn't pay attention where I was.

No big deal. Sometimes you just have to whore around everywhere

Used some Plasti-Dip today. Will get the X-ACTO knife out tomorrow and etch out the rest of the XTERRA badge tomorrow.
