Own a 2000 silver xterra, modified it alot over the years to a point where the IFS and its capabilities flat lined my ability drive in this neck of the woods. Over the years it has had th typical mods, torsion bar cranked up, longer rear shackles, full skid plates underneath, OBA, inside jack mount, painted bars on top, CB radio, removed all crappy parts such as rear sway bars, plastic fenders, running boards, replaced stock wheels with cragar rims etc.. you know the usual stuff.
Right now its parked for the winter as it goes through a radical transformation. This will be:
- 35" tires
- 6.5" BDS springs
- 12" lift from stock
- radius arm set-up with high angle long control arms.
- mechanical lockers front and back, most likely a Spartan.
- rebuilt dana axles front(D30) and back(D35). Some of you may say what Dana 30 your wasting your time. Well actually a lot of jeep guys are running D30's and35's with no issue, even with monster lifts . Bye the time I am done I will be making the truck lighter. A Dana 30 is good axle for now, even with chrom axles.
- gas tank to be behind rear passenger seat. One less ting to hit with rocks.
- back half of truck cut away down to the frame so that a new tube style frame box can go in. spare tire in the back.
- relocated OBA
- hot water tank storage system for cleaning, tool kit etc..
It will be alot of work, should be done by last spring. All long lower control arms, drag link, tie rods etc.. will be custom made. Not doing the calmini thing.
In the end you should see a rock crawler/truggy look.
More pictures to come.:kewl:
