New from the Pacific Northwest!

hey everyone,

Been a long time lurker here, just got my xterra about 4 months ago and have had a lot of fun with it so far. It helps that I am going to school in Ellensburg which is one of the best places to explore outdoors in the state, I can drive 20 minutes in any direction and be in a different environment.

Anyways, I haven't done a whole lot yet just as follows:

- PML
- raingler ceiling net
- Box of recovery stuff and tools
- tow hooks
- axe and shovel mount on roof rack
- removed the front and rear sway bars ( don't recommend the fronts unless your a skilled and careful driver)
- removed the splash guards and ***** steps, I replaced the splash guards with some real mudflaps
- other than that just basic maintenance, only 120,000 miles

thanks guys, The logical next mods are some 32" KM2 or duratracs, and probably sliders or lights, depends on what I will need once I get tires. i might need shocks though since washboards are pretty aweful in this thing. I usually go wheeling once a week or so or go shooting and fishing, it's a completely different vehicle than my old subaru Impreza 2.5rs haha

Welcome to the nation, it looks like you live in a great area for that sweet color x.

Welcome to the forum. I am located 40 min North of the Sumas border near Vancouver. If your in the area let me know. I remember Ellensburg just can't picture where in Washington that is.

Will do! Ellensburg is just on the east side of the cascades pretty much right in the middle of the state haha. it's perfect though because you can literally drive 20-30 minutes in any direction and it's a different climate, makes it a lot of fun to explore around and do all kinds of out doors stuff, Washington is the greatest. Are there any events or anything that goes on here in washington for xterras?

Ok I remember. Years ago I used to drive to Lewiston, Idaho every 2 months. I woukd drive past there. Regarding clubs I don't know. We're having an xterra meet this summer. Your welcome to come. Don't have dates yet.

ok cool thanks for the links, unfortunately I am gone all summer working up in Alaska. But maybe at the end of the summer when I come back I'll get to go meet some new people and have some fun.

I'll jump on the "I love the color" train too. Mine's the same, or at least for the most part. Looks like some beautiful country up there. It's been on my list of places to visit for a while now. Welcome!

 

[Chetter]

Love the pictures....looks like some awesome scenery! Welcome!!
