Its been awhile since I last posted a few pics of the truck. Few changes added a rear tire carrier, hood vents and LED bar.

Latest pics of what the truck looks today. removed the rear swing out tire carrier to give more clearance in the back(shorter o/a truck length) and new front dif cover. Right now the truck is parked for a couple of months so that the tank can be removed(has a hole in it) and the Transfer Case...

Finally made it more street legal. Added mudflaps with a bit of décor added to them to boot.

Went wheeling with the jeep guys, least to say they were very impressed. I could easily overflex the truck more than they could. I think their opinion on xterra's changed. Went up a hill called Hamburger Hill, Steep creek bed with big rocks and at the end a small rock bluff called the...

So yesterday had a shake down with some other xterra's. Sunny and hot day. The sas proven to be awesome in the trails. The trail we did had some lines that I would not even try with a stock setup. With a sas and all 4 wheels on the ground I was totally shocked how it handled. Its like I had...

So finally got the upgraded front driveshaft on with double cardon, went to a local area they call "The Pit" which is a huge area with piles of dirt you can climb on, go in the trees and play etc... Great for a local place to flex out the truck and get some money shots! Everything went very...

Rear of truck is finally done.

Finally got the lower shock mounts installed in the front, threw the fox shocks in, got the rear hi-lift jack, rear tail box all lined with treated wood. Just need to complete finish the rear tail gate. Right now the transfer case cross member is out and is being modified to fit the extended...

Finally got the stinger bumper I bought from Summit racing on this weekend. I managed to make a heavy bracket so it mounts directly to the bumper. Did not have to cut or modify the bumper in anyway. Used 1/2" plate steel with 5/8" grade 8 bolts. Nice and strong. Winch will come next year.

Was able to get outside and work on the truck for about 7 hrs and get a lot done. One of the large milestones for myself was trying to get the back all sanded, painted and complete. Finally got it done, worked out very well. Just need to hook up he lights, put on the tail gate, finish the bed...

Finally got Igor into the sun after 10 months of being stuck in the garage. Sure felt awesome driving it out. Now I can do body work outside. Brakes are at about 80%, having a problem with them. This will be on another post.

I've been busy these last few weeks with work but I was able to get some work done on it. Should be done later next week. Got some Fox 2.o this morning, 33" extended.

Finally got the new bumper in. Ordered it from Summit Racing. http://www.summitracing.com/dom/parts/pmt-51-0030/overview/ Took about 3-4 weeks to come but well worth the wait. Bumper is built like a tank, nice and strong, with gussets on the stinger and has all the holes and mount for a...

One of the things that I had to fix on the truck and that was a large crack and rust spot in front of the air conditioning at the front of the truck. I guess I hit that lower part few years ago and it got to a point where it kept getting rusted out. Removed the front grill all the rust and...

Finally revised the track bar mount. Brought it down as far as it will go and pushed the upper track bar outward closer to the coils and the lower one closer to the lower coil mount on the axle. Gained about 3" total length increase. Should be a lot better. Enough of that, time to go to LA...
