Recently bought my 02 Xterra. She's full of blue and metal splotches from where a custom cover peeled off her paint. Found her for a steal because of the paint damage. Makes her look like a blue cow on he left side. I want to repaint her soon, but I'm working on the major maintenance first.
ApacheX (aka The Blue Moo)
(Turkey and lift not included)
First, the maintenance. No good modding a car whose timing belt is about to snap.
Maintenance
- new radiator, hoses, & clamps
- new spark plugs & cables (old plugs were filthy)
- Duralast battery
- oil, fuel, cabin & air filters
- timing belt service (from belt to camshaft and all the bolts in between)
Next up:
- repair alternator front bearing - DONE! 11/4
- fix problem with CC - Parts Acquired 11/4
- fix problem with fog lights - DONE! 11/4
- fix my radio (only the front windshield speakers are working)
Mods (bear with me, I'm a poor sucker)
- rear tail light guards
- temporary small front bumper (Westin)
- Calmini 3" lift kit
- cb radio, antenna, & Midland mobile set
- K&N filter
Next up:
- side steps
- ARB bumper
- lights
- lockers (one day :tears2: )
She's a work in progress, but I love her unreasonably. :sure:
