So. Not only is she my first build, but she is my first car. Just a few days after my 17th birthday I got blessed (by emptying my wallet) and splitting the costs with my parents with my BEAUTIFUL 2000 Nissan Xterra SE. I have loved her from the first day.

Great looking truck. I don't get to see red ones. If you got the mod bug get rid of the rear hitch if your not going to use it as well as sway bar etc. Keep posting pics.

Those don't look too bad. What are they? How much were they? Specs?

Black Rock 950-Series Lobo Wheels I got them for $68 a rim. 15x8 lugs 6x5.5 with 4.75 BS. Off Jeggs (honestly I felt it was a steal!) I am ordering my Goodyear Durtracs 33x12.5 Soon :D

Well Shes out of the shop with a new timing belt, waterpump, and thermostat. Shes purring beautifully. But does it bug anyone else when shops spell XTERRA wrong?


Preps for the lift started today with PB blasted everything! So pumped for the weekend. Lots of pics will follow on Sunday.

Holy Crap what a difference.

Went to the beach last night to test out the new tires. Didnt even need to air down. She was floating on sand. But I did learn I needed to trim more metal XD well got to that today and shes all reassembled and Phase one has been completed

Looks great! With the 33s, I had to take the Sawzall and cut the fender all the way back to the tub. Managed to rework the plastic so you can't really tell.
