Well my personal favorite is bedline everything 
haha but not everyone shares my addiction since ive bedlined my whole X but most start with a PML then BL then either a SL and then go for 33s but that's 4x4 x's so it depends on what you want your X to do. heres my X

Hey Brooski, First Great looking X.
There are literally hundreds of mods from Mild to wild when it comes to your truck! when It comes down to it you need to decide exactly what you want your truck to do and how you want it to look. There are tons of amazing looking and highly modified Xs on the forum! My suggestion would be to read through a few build threads and see what stuff you like and what stuff you dont think work for you.
On the first gen Xterra most guys remove the rear sway bar along with the steps and flaps(looks like you said you did that). It is a known issue that The sway bar will contacts the rear shocks when doing any real off roading.
You can pull the molding off the sides to get a cleaner look.
Some guys pull the grill and all the other plastics and paint them black or do tons of other paint combos.
If you are looking to lift the truck a little you can do a PML (Poor mans Lift) which includes tightening your torsion bar adjusters and adding rear lift shackels for a couple inches of lift.
New Bilstein shocks 0" to 3" of lift Click here can be added for a great improvement in ride quality.
Volant Makes a really nice intake system Click here to check those out.
New roof racks, bumpers, Tire carriers, LED Lights...The list can go on forever!!
These are just a few Ideas, But like I said before, its all about what you personally are going for with your truck! There is tons of info on the site. If you find a build you like shoot that person a PM and ask them a few questions on what the did. All the guys on this forum are always willing to help!
Also I am always willing to give you any advice you may need. I have owned a first gen and now own a second gen and have had the mod bug for a Looooong Time..
Hope this helped! happy modding!!

2WD kicks a$$. If I had a first Gen, I would HAVE to put a snorkel on it. They look SWEET.

Of course, if you're 2wd, that means you can spend tons of money on the inside! So, lets start with bumping up the audio system. New 6 1/2's, 6x9's and maybe adding a 10 inch sub.
Then you can always add some roof lights. I know at times that rooflights have saved me (seen some deer that I wouldnt have with my brights) quite a few times. Also, you can also do the air intake mod with the stock box. Thats pretty simple.
Then theres the issue with led lights. There awesome. Once you get some, you wont look back.
ALSO. You could bedline the cargo area. Take the carpet out and just start spraying on the bedliner. Looks more rugged, and things wont slide around as much.
BTW's, WHAT WHEELS ARE THOSE?!

Going offroad? Then definitely a pml and all the good suspension stuff.
If you've got the money, go ahead and buy the whole suspension lift.

One thing you should probably buy first though is some recovery gear. Not saying 2wd is useless, but you will get stuck more, and youll need to be able to get out.
Recovery points, straps,ropes, maybe a winch if you want one, a hi lift.
