Well I can truly say the LS has made this thing way better! Its got the power to actually spin the tires as fast or as slow as you want while wheeling with the lower 1st gear and lower low range plus the extra 120hp helps too. One of the biggest things I have learned in the whole swap is that a...

The two plug wire swap was a success! it added another 130hp! Both of them fit surprisingly well underneath the hood of the x. All Jokes aside I have completed the functional part of the swap (How the front core support will look isn't finished) from an 5.3 05 Silverado. This is mated to a...

Thanks man! Between the end of august, September, and October it should have another 3-4 posts worth of updates, with possibly a first from my understanding at least in a first gen. At some point I need to come out to one of the two xterra event's and see your rig!

Prior to rock sliders, front fender bars, and radius arm swap it was 4900lbs with me in it with no tools(I carry 3-400lbs worth of tools), no spare, and half a tank of fuel. Once my two other coil wires get put in ;) I will re weight it. How much did the Supercharger swap cost you?

It's good to see you are still pushing this build along nicely! I thought you were going to get rid of it when you went quite for a while during the sas. Do you know what weight you are sitting at now? I forget is the truck a manual? I have run my auto with 35's on a NA vg33e and either the...

Well I just realized how long it has been since I have posted anything, and man has a lot changed, from windrock and the body damage that it bestowed from another trip as well as upgrades I have done since last winter.:) I will just put a couple photos up for now and do a full post at the end...

Figured I would do a quick photo dump/update Leaf Springs are Best Springs! :cool:

Looks great dude! It seems like you had it ready to go on leaf springs and decided to go to links, other than links being great what made you switch? Can't wait to see this thing wheel!

You can do a swap to the 31 spline axle shafts and brake parts and use a mechanical locker for cheaper than an arb if you can find all the parts from a junkyard. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/42436-31-spline-swap-or-how-to-install-a-rear-mechanical-locker-in-the-r50/

Thought I would do a quick photo dump from windrock, these photos are from trail 16 and 15 a black and double black respectively. Did over 200 miles of trail in 7 days of wheeling doing a lot of black trails and headed out to caraval flats one day. It was dry all week so many of these trail were...

Someone wants to party:cool:, while not the most streetable option you could always do the old Lincoln lock rather than dumping 1200+ into an air locker and compressor system and put a lunch box locker in the front. My rear is getting welded in the next few weeks.

I would be interested in a doubler group buy! Glad to see you got everything worked out with the axle, you will be much happier with the HP axle, can't wait to see this thing done!

No Problem! HP is definitely the way to go, I have struggled to maintain good driveshaft angles since my SAS due to my lp j10 44. I would still recommend doing the nissan nut Xj driveshaft with the old SAE flange and a custom adapter so you don't have to worry about large angles at max flex(Or...

I have never heard of anyone having a issue with a waggy 44, and I wish I could say for sure but mine is a full width 44. Are the springs equal-distant from the inner c's? If anything the picture makes it look like the axle is to far to the driver side if it is a waggy 44 because my full width...

Also I will be at Windrock Off-road park March 7th-12th with my club if anyone wants to meet up to do some wheeling.

A lot has happened to the X since I last updated this thread. I cut the front suspension out from under it again SOA and stretch the wheel base to alleviate the previously discussed issues of major fender rubbing and the plow frame like spring hangers. Sitting at about the 3-4" of stretch mark...

Welcome to the world of Xterras! On the leaf spring did you just pick up a new secondary leaf because the old one cracked right behind the spring perch? I don't know of a factory replacement of the clamps beyond a new pack, you can get aftermarket clamps like this one from 4wheel parts or at...

Build Thread Here Lets go First gens!

We will see how this one before the snow does. Build Thread: https://www.xterranation.org/index.php?threads/jwelchs-1st-gen-build-thread-that-escalated-quickly.9387/ Is there a minimum amount of Nominations that need to happen in order to have a poll?

I will add more photos in the Next few days Well Poker run was a success, Got 5 of the six cards. Obviously we chose to skip the easiest card because that makes sense :D . Our team consisted of Wide Load, Chopsticks, The B2, and an Old Cj. Poker run definitely showed me the faults in the...
