Here is some Vids



Thats it for now!! i have lots of plans for my rig!! so come back and check it out

Took the roof rack off last night my xterra is trying to get on SUV's gone wild LOL!!!

that grill looks pretty cool!

yeah I like the grill sir.. Looks swwwweeet

Nice ride, looks real good all dirty too.

Do you ever get annoyed with having to undo the swingarms every time you want to open the hatch? I love the way it looks with the tire and fuel cans, but I think I would go nuts with the number of times I have to get into my hatch.

Overall, a great looking rig!

Thanks guys!! no i use my hatch ALOT! but its worth it to me to have place for fuel, so i put up with it. but here is another update, almost got my custom roof rack done






and all mounted up! all thats left is the floor and and some light tabs!

Man that roof rack looks good.

I like that rack.. How much for those PIAAs? Hah, good work

Sent from somewhere by something

thanks!! the Piaa's are the new eco friendly models, im a little concerned about light output. lol

Damn that looks heavy.. But good job

thanks, ya if i had it to do over i would have used lighter material... oh well it will still work !

Yeah dude that looks great,

nice rack!
^ someone was gonna say it like that soon enough lol!

Nice work on the rack!

wow its been WAY to long, Updated first post with new plan for MOAB

So niiicceeeeeeeeee :hihi:

Awesome rig man! Loving that bumper, and the grille is sweet, too!

Sent using highly technical equipment involving satelites and space and nerds.....lots of nerds...

Oh, that's just sexxayyy. You'll have to let us know how she handles when you get her goin'.

thanks guys! ya cant wait to really test it out lol

Dang, looks good and tall.

Man, a Titan swap just makes these 2nd gens look so freaking beefy! Looks great!

Are you going to do anything about protecting your u-bolts on the axle? I would hate for you to drop on a rock and ruin them.

thought about flipping them, in fact I might do that before moab, also need to romove the sway bar brackets and shock tabs lol

Wow. That is an epic looking 2nd gen! How much lift did you need to clear in the front to justify doing the SOA on the rear?

front fender is 42" off the ground, Rear is 44". so a bigger rake then i thought. 16" of ground clearance though

Makes your tires look itty bitty now.

I'd still hump it tho. Looks very purdy.

haha thanks mel!!! oh and you still better make some meet and greets!!! even xterra-less

Oh you can count on it. I got the ok to go to the run next month....I just need to find a rig to take!

I work that Saturday might need to haul ass down there so I can at least say HI!

Looks great I will soon be following with the TS and SOA

^ nice! looking forward to seeing it, you always do great work!

well I got bored waiting for ups to deliver my drive shaft yesterday....


then UPS gave me a present!!! all that's left is to mount compressor and run air lines for OBA and the lockers
