Woohoo! Working on the X this week: rotating tires, cleaning out (g-da-md) evap canister that keeps throwing me codes and checking over for general wear and tear that require my ASAP attention (ha, which is probably most of my X). Hmmm, guess its time for an oil change, too while I'm thinking about it...

Thanks! BUT, apparently it is an engine skid. Anyone have instructions for that? :p
2005 + Xterra Engine Skid - Installation Instructions:

Included Parts:
1 - Skid Plate 2 - M8x1.25x40 Bolts (rear) 2 - M8x1.25x30 Bolts (front) 2 – 3/8” Bolts 2 - 1⁄2”-20x1 1⁄2” Bolts 2 - Hex Nuts 1⁄2”-20 2 - 1⁄2” Lock Washers 2- 3/8” Nuts Tools Required: - 19mm Socket - 10mm Socket - 1⁄2” and 3/8 drill bit - Drill Installation: It is recommended to start installing in this order: Gas Tank – T-case – Transmission – Engine – Radiator. 1. Roll the skid under the truck with a floor jack and lift it in position 2. Using the provided bolts M8x1.25x40 (for the front) and M8x1.25x30 (for the rear), mount the skid plate in place as shown in the picture. Center the skid so it gets flushed with the frame. Tighten the M8 bolts and drill the frame using the 1⁄2” holes as guide and 3/8” on rear. Install the 1⁄2” bolts in the front - 1 1⁄2” long - with the lock washers and 3/8” on rear – no washers 3. Tighten all bolts.
Note: If you are installing the Transmission Skid also – we suggest mounting the Engine Skid OVER the leap of the Transmission skid – in other words - mount the transmission skid closer to the frame. If you did not purchase the transmission skid then most likely you will have spacers in place (rear) to compensate the distance to the cross member.
You are welcome! :D

I feel that I should bring some Jr Police badges from work to Moab just to make some of you gentlemen feel that much more special, hahaha! :p

Have you seen what some of us have left to do? Compared to some out there, I'm sitting pretty but I've still got to fix the oil seal on the axle, change the brake shoes, oil changes, and a few other maintenance bits.

You guys can have your pirates vs ninja stuff. I'll settle for grilling/cooking up some nice meals, enjoying a quality libation, and watching the debauchery from afar.

I caught my liver trying on black ninja clothes last night. It muttered something about "training"...this was new. I have seen it wear a kilt before though. Many times.

I can think of a lot else, but none of it is internet forum appropriate. This is why I bring a camera everywhere. For shiggles and gits while the rest of you make arses of yourself. :-D

Probably leaving Ohio Thursday after work. I was going to leave Friday, like last year, but there's nothing keeping me around for the extra night. More days of driving, but less driving each day.

I'll roll in around 330-4 with an ARB bumper. I have a feeling Joe will be waiting at my condo, like a kid at Christmas.

The bar is in the X and the trailer is full of parts, Diffs, bumper, tools, and tires yes!

^Winning! Yes sir, I do believe our entire condo inhabitants will be at your place for libations and tooling time! Wooo!

Ok, I'll camp out for a night and grocery shop and do misc crap Sat-Sun. :) My friend who is staying with me won't be in till Sun as well. Any alcoholic recommendations or Idaho-specialty foods (giggle, like we have any....:p)?
