I love driving my egg crate in the city especially coming back from off roading and it full of mud. No one cuts me off, I get thumbs up all the time and little kids stop and point.

my neighbors think Im nuts. Had one the other day walk over while I was testing on the ramp and was asking me all kinds of questions, mind you I have never talked to him in my life. My other neighbor walked out while I was chopping sheetmetal yesterday and just shook his head. Im planning on taking the truck to a car show next weekend and entering it. Put it up on the ramp to show off. See how many people actually like it

I’m no engineer but would not the curved tube as shown add strength to the side for lifting and a straight across tube be better for side impact? Maybe a combination of the two?

If the choice is one or the other, I think the curve is best…function over form in ether case bro. If it’s stronger it “looks better” to me.

Im gonna run a tube to the frame on the "wings" to help with side impacts and strength.

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.

i wont be outta the offroad stuff, just this time in a buggy more than likely. But I really need to get my personal life in check. Been dealing with alot mentally and in my personal life. Staring at the xterra just sitting in the driveway not being wheeled is depressing. I drive it maybe once a week but otherwise I ride the bike. It needs to go to someone that will beat on it as hard as I would

Wow, didn't see that coming. Sad on many levels.

Sorry for your troubles but seriously, what about me? Did you give any thought about what this would mean to me?





Hope all works out for you bro. Yes, please, not a Jeep...
