Background:
My name is Dylan and I am currently a college junior studying ME at the University of New Mexico.

I have proudly owned my X since March of 2017 and I have loved it ever since. My current X build started in the winter of 2018 and it is my first foray in to modifying/working on cars. There has been a huge learning process for me and being a member of XN and TNX has helped me tremendously during my build process. I appreciate everyone on here because you have helped me gained a passion in wrenching, learning, and engineering.

I am very proud of where my X is at and I wanted to share my progress with everyone on here. My Xterra currently is my DD and sees a lot of FS roads and trail access roads.

Also, my build will not be updated that much over the course of this next year. I was selected to be the IC team lead for the FSAE team at UNM, and our race car will be my new project!

*The background will probably be updated and pictures will be added too*

I installed these Baja Designs lights pods on MaxGear DL (Go purchase these brackets and support the man Maxterra!!) brackets during this past Winter Break. I had installed a Blue Sea fuse box in the fall, with one bus used for main power and the other used for switching power to activate relays. Definitely the hardest modification to date but the most rewarding. IMG_5015.jpg IMG_4606.jpg

Thought I'd give a quick update to the X. Not a lot of changes, but she's been running strong and is at 95K! I did get a pretty sweet swing-out........... bike rack that holds my cheaper off-road rig lmao.

Cheers
