So I am finally putting my OFFICIAL build thread on here. Been a long time lurker and post jacker but never really had my own build thread on here so here we go.
So my goal for this Xterra is to have a capable off roader but not have it TOO extreme (extreme is a loose term). I want an expedition style ride with a touch of "evil". so I need it to be capable off road and on road and get good gas mileage.
here is my plan:
off road upgrades DONE:
Calmini SAS kit
85 Wagoneer Dana 44
Aussie Lokka for Dana 44
Ruff Stuff 1 ton TRE's
Brake master cylinder from a '99 Dodge 1500
305/70/16 Goodyear MTRs
Craggier Soft 8 wheels 4.5" Backspacing
Fox 2.0 10" coilovers for front
Bilstien in the back
AAL in the rear
MPG upgrades:
electric fan conversion - 2 14" fans 3300CFM
throttle body spacer - No real improvement but like swirling noise it makes. LOL
Resonator delete mod
Still wants and needs:
315/75/16 Duratracs
Sliders - Probably from P&P
Skids - IN PLANNING STAGES - using HDPE
I will add more as I think of it....
The Looks:
I am an artist so I have to have it look good too.
FUTURE PLANS:
Diesel swap - Nissan TD27ti motor.
Here she is the day I brought it home....
How she sits now....
