    Nismo releasing front and rear bumpers for the Xterra

    I would imagine it would fit the 05-08 just fine. It is cut out to fit around the dip in the grill on the +09, but he mentions you have to trim that grill to fit a winch so you may not have to do it on an 05-08. I do like how close it fits to the body.

    Gone Moab 2021

    ... and I've been swaybar free ever since. @Prime - mine was only connected on one side too. I destroyed yet another swybar end link and it was banging around. Rob couldn't believe I still had it on the X

    Cptpackrat's 01 build "EMMA"

    Nooooooooooo I hate to hear this. You've put a tremendous amount of work into your X. You were the first fellow Xterra owner I met on my way to my first GONE Moab. I wish you didn't have to, but I understand you have to do what's right for you.

    New Sas Kit

    I'll be interested to compare the overall height to IFS Nissans with the same size tires. I'm sure someone will get some comparison shots in the next few months.

    M226 Factory E-locker Plug N Play Mod

    What about heat shrink on the middle section and leave the part where the wires flare out unwrapped (for lack of a better term)? That would leave the ends near the connectors free to flare out and wouldn't put stress on the wires as they go into the back of the connector Just a thought...

    New Sas Kit

    Despite the above statement, I've been excited about this since Dave covered it on one of his NNP videos a few weeks ago. I hope one day I can get this kit and put it on my X. It's nice to have the option. I can't wait to check out JR's rig at WENT.

    Which Welder To Buy For Basic-intermediate Use?

    I haven't had it too long and have just been messing around with thin stuff it at this point. Just 1/8 thick so far. I haven't popped a breaker yet and the metal sure isn't coming apart (it may not be pretty)

    Which Welder To Buy For Basic-intermediate Use?

    Well, I guess I should clarify... I dont have a 240v outlet anywhere in the house at the time. I do want to run 240v to the garage which is why I got the 210MVP

    Which Welder To Buy For Basic-intermediate Use?

    We don't have 240 in our newer home. The dryer, stove, etc... are natural gas. I have a Hobart 210 MVP. I can run it off a normal outlet and when I get around to running 240 to the garage, I can still use it with that

    AlbatrossCafe's FleXterra ~ T-Swap, 35s, 4.10s, Fully Locked

    What do you think about 4.10s with 35s? Do you wish you had gone with 4.56? Asking because I'm thinking about 35s and trying to decide on gears.

    goneMOAB 2020

    I think you'll be just fine. Sign up for green and maybe blue trails. I don't know your driving style, but the only thing I've broken is a sway bar end link ( back when I had sway bars). The only trails I haven't done are the black rated trails. The trail leaders want to get you through without...
