This thread is awesome guys but we should try not to thread jack it any more than it already has. Even though it can be fun imagining things that could feasibly be accomplished in the mad scientist shop in Colorado.

Did you wake up with the need for round headlights?

The front of my Xterra is based off the winch plate design Cyclemut and I came up with for the Boulder Nissan Frontier. The frame horns are cut back a bit a better approach angle. We then weld a winch plate setup to what is left of the horns. This makes for a rock solid winch mount that is not part of the bumper. The side of the new plate serves as a new bumper mount. The bumper does not have to support the winch thus can be made lighter, and will not pull forward (bending the fenders) when the winch is used.
The grill is a first gen Frontier unit with the fins gutted out.
Tbe hood is from a 2003 X. The little headlight gaps were filled in with cut out chunks of the 2000 hood.
The headlights are also the clear lense style.
The goal was to keep it looking like an Xterra with the normal Nissan grill styling. The first gen Xterras did not use this grill design. The hard body, Patrol, next Gen Xterras etc do. ..

You could shortcut that looks post and just say, "The front of my Xterra is a work of art."

This! Where are you getting that massive beer bottle?!?!

Is that what you used Bill's 'steel' on? Since it really can't be used for anything else but an anchor. It's perfect! We need to put something like that on the wood burner in my garage (next weekend I'm working on it, finally!) to heat up some burritos... and bacon!

Wow, this thing looks amazing. So clean. However you do NOT look like a frontier, even with the frontier grill.
