    How to: DIY rear bumper and tire carrier

    Hey I know this is an old post and I 100% do not mean anything by it, I really appreciate OP documenting this for us, however I did attempt to build this and I will say that the angles on the profile drawing for it to be bent up are not correct, the 90 is fine, but that 60 is not correct, if it...

    Bump, also open to name recommendations. I was thinking Stich (lelo and stich) because it's fairly small, blue and kind of scrappy. I also like the idea of calling it the mall crawler since it is basically the opposite of a mall crawler since it's old, generally dirty and kind of crappy.

    I dont know that I have the stomach to do all the trails in CO, we took a few dirt roads (in a car) hauling that camper and I dont have the stomach for the heights. Haha around the black hills you could probably do all the trails in 5 years if you were fairly serious about it, but it's a much...

    Hey, I love Colorado. I will give it a bump, that's a good idea. That's not a Nissan but it's a pretty cool photo from Breckenridge, CO a couple years ago. Hopefully we will get to come out and do some trails with the Nissan at some point, from what I hear you guys have some prety cool trails.

    1st Gen - For Trade (SOLD) Gen 1 (2000 Se) - A Gold Mine Of Misc Parts:

    I got a new to me first gen and dont really need anything but if you get to the point where you just need to get rid of stuff I would pay shipping cost of things that I will need eventually such as the axels and ball joints. Not trying to be a tire kicker or anything I just dont actually need...

    Diy Skid Plates

    That is actually a pretty good idea. I did order the material already but still worth looking out for some. Personally I have always loved older stuff, shoot I would have bought another mid 80s toyota pickup to beat the cr*p out of but the wife said it had to have Ac. And you cant really beat...

    Hey everyone. Maybe I am just used to bigger forums. I will try to be more patient (like I am trying to be waiting on my lift parts............) As a older Toyota guy I need all the help I can get on this xterra, so far this forum has been gold.

    Perfect I will probably go with 32's when I upgrade then, the extra ground clearance would be awesome (especially as an older toyota guy going to an xterra) but definitely form over function, and its freaking rocky around here so I need full flex. I think the skids will help but I dont know much...

    Hey been lurking for awhile as I build my new moderate off road rig. It's a 2002 that came with some halfway decent tires and a blown engine (kid owned smh). Got it running last month, installed lights and winch and ordered everything for a PML, 2" body lift and hope fully soon a rear bumper...

    Diy Skid Plates

    Hey I am new here but I have been lurking for awhile. I have a new to me 02 that I am building up for a primarly moderate dedicated off road rig. I have the parts ordered for the PML, rear springs, rear sway delete and a 2 inch body lift. The first thing I would really like to do is get some...
