My Xterra is a 2010 Night Armor 4x4. I sold my 2006 Mustang in order to buy it and really had a lot of reasons to do so. The biggest thing for me was owning a fast car that I couldn't drive fast legally. Let's face it, 75mph highways were as good as it was going to get legally. Second I couldn't USE my mustang for anything. Sure it was fun to drive and looked cool, but the utility was next to zero. Lastly I couldn't use it whenever I have kids. The breaking point was when I was helping a friend load their kiddo and their car seat into the back of my stang. That was NO fun and at that point I decided I was going to get some good pics and list it on craigslist.
First thing I did was Axe the running boards and go play in the Oklahoma mud. I payed for playing in the mud. For the hour and a half I spent mudding I cleaned mud for 4 and a half.
After that I made a trip to the mountains to take a "stock photo" style picture haha.
My first real mods started when it began to get close to the arrival of my Hefty front bumper.
I decided to paint my grill with this textured paint I found at O'Reilleys.
First a buddy of mine and I scratched up the grill with a sanding block and then hit it with some primer before painting it with the textured paint.
I decided to run with an idea I saw on someone elses build. I followed his model but I totally went out on a limb with my own measurements. So I made the X-Bed.
I added a first aid kit. You may have seen these at Wal-Mart but I especially liked it because my name is Justin and this is just clever.
I rigged up my CamelBak for quick drinking on the go.
Craven Speed Antenna
I also bought a Skeeter Beater to leave my windows open on camping trips.
My added hp *decals*
I did the Surf and Snow Better, Beefier tie downs for the back.
I got my WeatherTech stuff over the past few days and finally got it all installed. It looks awesome.
Getting my Hefty front bumper was excited and stressful all at the same time, but well worth it in the end.
Here's the bumper all wrapped up like a Christmas present!
Here's the close to bare front, there are some plastic pieces on there in this pic that I removed later. And the stupid little metal clips, take those off for sure.
And here it is finished.
Here's my posed pic in Creede, CO.
So this is how it sits today.
