With spring weather finally arriving I put in my IMS this morning. The back hose clamp and hose wasn't the easiest to get off. But it's all done and buttoned up now.

Busy day for The Smurf today. Mounted my ARB awning as well.

Had a great time at rausch creek yesterday with a small group of NEXTerra members. More pics and videos to come as they are uploaded and I get them from the guys I was with.

Looks like a nice day out there

 

[Fromfrontier2Xterra]

^^ It was gorgeous till right before we left and the rain came in. Perfect timing.

Not my X. But I'm very jealous of this thing. Romeo's rig is awesome. TS sitting on 35's. Made everything look easy.

Well after going over The Smurf after Rausch this past weekend I fixed and discovered a few things.

Fixed my exhaust. The one place that isn't covered by skids took a rock. Nailed my muffler pretty good and screwed up some angles on the exhaust and was getting horrendous rattles. Bent a few hangers back and heat shields and now all fixed. The other thing that needs fixed and I have an appointment for is an alignment. We hit alot of rock gardens and my alignment is shot. It was so bad a parking lot alignment was done to get me home so I didn't chew up the tires. It also caused my steering angle sensor to trip. No biggie and an easy fix but just another thing that happened this weekend.

Discovered I need rear spacers. When fully stuffed I am rubbing frame, bad. I had to do a quick rustoleum job to cover where it rubbed thru the coating to metal. Also, I need to figure out what to do with ABS wires. I am pressing my luck and if I press much harder they're going to tear. My actual brake lines are fine as I extended those, but abs wires are a different story. Any suggestions?

 

[Prime]

I just unbolted the ABS lines from the axle which gave me enough slack to zip tie them to the brake line. No more issues.

It got pretty hot and humid in the afternoon. Kronos took a break under an evergreen.

[Fromfrontier2Xterra]

Haha. Yea, there are definitely are no "good" lines through there.

P&P delivered and installed these at WENT so a big thumbs up to these guys. I know people were getting upset with the wait (I'll admit, myself included). But, Mac has said they had to redo the jigs multiple times to get it right. It absolutely shows the quality and time put into these and it was worth it. So again, a thumbs up. Enough rambling, on to the pics!

How was the light installation? Easy to just put it in and screw it all in?

Pretty easy. You will have to drill for the bolt holes. Then paint/line the holes to prevent rust. No big deal. When I talked with Mac, they didn't do this due to possible variances with brands and etc. smart.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. I ordered mine with cutouts though.

I see you also run the firestone destionation at's. Love mine. They are highly rated. Been a great tire so far.

Absolutely love these tires. Everyone knocks them when they first see them when I get on the trail but are then throughly surprised at how well they perform.

Dude. You have inspired me. I have the same color and trim package. She looks great. Keep posting your mods. Too bad your on the opposite coast. It would be great to get the rigs together.

 

[Fromfrontier2Xterra]

Thanks! It's been a fun build so far. Stay tuned I have more mods coming soon!

 

[Fromfrontier2Xterra]

Just a few pics while having fun with the pups today.

 

[Cruecible]

It took me about 10 seconds to recognize that your grill was blue. On my first scroll through, my brain noticed something was blue but I couldn't figure it out lol.

As always, the X looks excellent!

 

[Fromfrontier2Xterra]

A few updates today. After Jeff being awesome and hooking me up with the hardware I was able to put in the cargo organizer I got from Botto.

When I was done with that I swapped out my old fogs for my new LED Morimoto fogs.

Then these beauties arrived today. Blue Angel eyes with monster shrouds. Amber LED halo with turn signal function. Although the wiring is a bit much for me (I'm electrically retarded). So I will be getting help with these.

 

[caseycamby]

I've always wanted amber halo headlights! Jealous!

 

[JeffPro4x]

Big spender, splurging for the complete assemblies!
