[Xterraforce]

I'd call that a nice change.

 

[SnickerDoodle]

Thanks XForce!! Still a work in progress of course. But not bad for putting about 20k miles on her in 8 months. LoL Plenty more mods to go!

 

[AbuseTheElderly]

Lookin good. Keep it up!

 

[Hugetanker]

[Xterraforce]

It's a never ending process. I love it!

[SnickerDoodle]

Very nice!

btw I can't help but to start singing "Oooooklahoma where the wind blows...." Everytime i see that you are from, well, Oklahoma.

 

[Macland]

Haha, I couldn't even begin to watch that movie! My wife watched it and I had to leave the room, it was a little too much for me.

 

[SnickerDoodle]

I've never seen it honestly. Nor do I desire to see it. lol

YES! I always laugh hysterically at Eddie Izzard.
And, well, my rig is rarely clean, hahaha! In fact, I don't think it's been washed in a few months. I know, naughty MEL.

I believe that Dave has made the fastest change to an Xterra.. and here in a bit.. he will have had 3 different bumpers.. Stock, ARB and now RLC Fabrications..

 

[drbandkgb]

Dave was very lucky to 1. have done this once before and 2 have some parts left over... But I have also been lucky to stumble on some deals too

A long long time ago

Not so long ago

 

[drbandkgb]

Did you build your own trailer ?

 

[TomsRedX]

Hmmm, don't have any pics from when I first got it.

mostly stock

couple things added.

 

[granitex]

Did you build your own trailer ?

Almost all of it, I started with a basic frame, and then just kind of went from there. My tent goes on top, and all of my camping stuff and spares stay in the trailer. It keeps all of the weight off of the truck, you never really know that it is back there on the road. The biggest thing was putting a 3500lb axle under it to deal with the larger tires.

I'd like to see a build thread on your X AND the trailer!

 

[civicjoe]

2x on that trailer build!
Now on to more before and afters

 

[Macland]

Does this count Last day with Stang & First day with X

 

[civicjoe]

sure! I wish i had taken one of those photos before i got rid of my civic, still kinda makes me sad. The Nevada desert was no place for that thing.

 

[Macland]

I'd like to have my gas mileage back, and the horse power, and the sound system. But that's about all I miss. Once I get my wife a dedicated vehicle I'll probably look at upgrading my sound system and knocking that off the list of things I miss. I'll get over the rest with 4 wheel drive
