Wow nice truck!

Rons04x · Nov 1, 2011

Your X looks awesome!

drbandkgb · Nov 1, 2011

Sweet rig!

civicjoe · Nov 1, 2011

nice rig, and great color, huh looks familiar? HAH

Macland · Nov 1, 2011

Looking forward to seeing WHAT ELSE you do with your rig

RATTFINK · Nov 1, 2011

Nice X!!

gorillamel · Nov 2, 2011

Is that a Fronty I see in the garage? You guys mod that, too?

Nice X! Good beefy look.

OKXterra · Nov 2, 2011

Mel, yes it is and yes we did...

tommyboy · Nov 2, 2011

a lift in the future for the Fronty?

OKXterra · Nov 2, 2011

tommyboy, it is hard to tell b/c of the way I took the pics, but it has a 2" PRG suspension lift. I'll probably go bigger down the road.

tommyboy · Nov 2, 2011

LOL or the fact that that is the ride height that the Fronty and X SHOULD have come at. I look at mine every now and then and wonder where my lift went?

Excellent! You guys are on my totally awesome list for having both an X and Fronty and modding them! I'm jealous, haha! Both rigs look good

xearth · Nov 5, 2011

those are 2 sweet trucks! n

08XOR · Nov 6, 2011

nice rig!! i love those tires!

Hugetanker · Nov 7, 2011

Lookin good! Keep it up.

MississippiGal · Nov 7, 2011

Thanks to everyone for all the great comments! I'm always looking for something else to do to the X. She's a work in progress, but I'm loving what we've done so far!

gorillamel · Nov 7, 2011

PAint/bedline stuff. It's a great way to pass time AND feel as if you are accomplishing something on your X. Just kind of sucks when you run out of things to paint....

ryandavenport · Nov 8, 2011

Excellent choice on license plate!! It definitely makes the truck lol

MississippiGal · Nov 8, 2011

Ryan, are you talking about the front one or the back one? I had to take the Ole Miss one because of the winch. The back one shows the Oklahoma state bird, which, ironically, is only here a couple of months out of the year... LOL.

ryandavenport · Nov 8, 2011

Psh...the front one all the way. That's my team. I would have gone to school there if they would have offered what I want in an affordable package.

drbandkgb · Nov 8, 2011

School and affordable do not go hand in hand lol

MississippiGal · Jan 1, 2012

Added a few pics of miscellaneous mods to post #2

drbandkgb · Jan 1, 2012

Oh boy updates..
:luv:

Macland · Jan 1, 2012

Yay

How'd you do the integrated garage door opener? That one's a new one to me.

MississippiGal · Jan 1, 2012

Macland, I borrowed the gist of the idea from this website: http://2manytoyz.com/switch.html and there's a thread on TNX titled "Integrated Garage Door Opener?" where I was able to find which switch to get from OTTRAW. I bought a universal garage door opener remote from Amazon and just soldered some wires to contact points on the board, put spade quick disconnects on the other end to attach to the switch, velcroed the remote under the dash, buttoned everything back up, and it works like a charm. Mine is not hardwired to the the vehicle, so the battery in the remote will eventually need to be replaced. You can, however, hard wire the remote if you find one that will take 12V, and there are some out there. I also installed one in the Fronty, too. I didn't snap any pics while I was doing it, but I'm glad to help if you need it. I enjoyed this mod a bunch.

Macland · Jan 1, 2012

I may see about this one when I buy my switch for my lights. It seems easy enough.

Jmac289gt · Jan 2, 2012

Very nice Xterra and build thread, Your pictures are very nice and clean too. Seems we have a few people with great cameras and skill.

MississippiGal · Jan 2, 2012

jmac, I have to credit OKXTerra for taking andposting all the pics. Without him, it would be a blank page... LOL.

Macland, it is easy enough to do the switch. In fact, you can just install the switch when you do the one for your lights and hook up the opener later if you want.

Is it easy enough to just use the opener I already have and solder the wire to that one?

It is. You just have to solder 2 contact points. If you have a Craftsman opener and it's the same as ours, we have a spare one, too. They are extremely expensive from Sears, but you can get them very cheap on Ebay.

Macland · Jan 4, 2012

That's good to know. Mine's actually a universal one from Walmart so it was still like 30 bucks but I wanna say that's cheaper than the craftsman?

The Craftsman are at least $40 from Sears, around $15 on Ebay. Oh, forgot to mention, too, that the 1 button ones work best, which is why I bought the particular model I did.

AbuseTheElderly · Jan 4, 2012

The mod bug is strong with this one! lol. Awesome rig MississippiGal!

Thanks so much, Abuse. It's been fun, and I'm constantly looking for new things to do to it. If I knew a little more about electrical stuff, there's no telling what I could do!

Kris&HerX · Feb 11, 2012

Holy macaroni! I think you just changed my mind about buying a second gen.! I'm in love with everything you've done to it so far! Can't wait to see more - and please please "pics or it didn't happen"

Kris,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm happy to show off and discuss Dasypus (that's her name, Genus name for armadillo) ad nauseum. We'll keep posting; y'all keep looking! Cheers!
