drbandkgb · Dec 24, 2012

Nice color change sir...

DC xterra · Dec 24, 2012

thank you, in the next two months im going to disassemble her and use AL's pressure spray bedliner, this is just the outside coat.

Macland · Dec 24, 2012

Nice! Good looking rig.

gorillamel · Dec 25, 2012

So is that initial coat of bedliner also a spray on? Looks like a very formidable rig!

Can you show a current interior pic w/o the carpets and stuff reinstalled?

DC xterra · Dec 25, 2012

for now its the rust oleum bedliner from the outside, and as for the carpets i never put them back all i have is rubber mats.

Xado89 · Dec 25, 2012

I move from Ct and all of a sudden Xer's appear everywhere! lol Nice rig man. I plan on bedlining my whole thing too one of these days. Tired of having the top half scratched to crap.

stevencox93 · Dec 28, 2012

Im glad to see Im not the only one who bedlined their rig

Im redoing mine with Raptor Liner, I currently have Blood Bath Monstaliner

DC xterra · Dec 30, 2012

thanks guys! i found this very cool bedliner, its called AL's bedliner. its a mix it your self kind, they sell kits with a spray gun. the cool thing about it is that you can change the color of it to anything you want.

DC xterra · Jan 8, 2013

shrockworks bumper installed

Xado89 · Jan 8, 2013

Nice! Did it drop your front end at all?

DC xterra · Jan 8, 2013

it might dropped it a bit i think, car got more sturdy tho considering i have no sway bars lol

Roadwarrior · Jan 9, 2013

Nice, where did you get it from?

DC xterra · Jan 9, 2013

nexterra.org, this guys truck got flooded after sandy

Roadwarrior · Jan 9, 2013

3rd: bedlined the headliner
4th: bedlined the whole rig red

DC xterra · Jan 12, 2013

im thinking about changing the body of mine to army green and leaving all the trim and bumpers black - just a thought for now tho

DC xterra · Jan 15, 2013

just came back from a winter run, the snow just makes it so much more fun

getting gas after

Xado89 · Jan 15, 2013

Looks fun man! Was this in CT or did you go out of state?

DC xterra · Jan 15, 2013

it was in Massachusetts

Roadwarrior · Jan 15, 2013

If I paint mine anything it will be OD Green with a nice Star on the side

DC xterra · Jan 15, 2013

i thought about the star but i think thats to much for me haha, cant wait for warmer days again to take her apart

gorillamel · Jan 16, 2013

Ooooo those run pics look awesome! I'm jealous. What a fun looking trail! Anyone break anything? And super tough spots? How many rigs were at it?

DC xterra · Jan 16, 2013

yea there was some carnage, broken rad flo, bend rim and sliced tire, cracked transmission pan in a wrangler .. it was a cool spot its not hard at all summer time, but when the snow covers everything up makes it interesting

gorillamel · Jan 16, 2013

Where exactly is this park you speak of? Is that the run that Xterra_Mayo busted his rear Radflo on by a fallen tree branch?

DC xterra · Jan 16, 2013

yep it was a NexTerra winter run, i was driving behind him when that happen. its a private own park in Sturbridge Mass

bigjim247365 · Jan 16, 2013

sweet pics!!! i wish we had that kinda snow in IL.

stevencox93 · Jan 18, 2013

Hey man got anymore pics of the floor bedlined with seats in and what the contours of the floor look like? im interested in doing this too
