I have a 2004 naturally aspirated XE 4x4. I have and idea of what I want to do with it, but I need advice on which parts to go with. My idea is to do a 2.5 to 3 inch lift, headers, dual exhaust, chip, cold air intake, electrical grounding kit, wheels and tires, front and rear bumpers and more.
My questions start with the lift kit. Which one is preferred? I've seen the Calmini kits and have read some scathing reviews. That leaves me to ask what kit seems to be preferred amongst the Xterra faithful? I'm not going to be rock crawling, but it would be nice to get over a fallen telphone pole if needed. Headers is the next one, why are they such a pain to find for the 2004 model? Next is the exhaust, is there a complete kit for a dual exhaust or is tha a custom fab job?
I think its obvious that I'm a noob to this but I really want to learn and build my Xterra into an urban assault vehicle that can take the off road abuse as well. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to building this machine up and showing the progress as things go.
