My name is Daniel. I recently bought my 2006 Xterra Off Road from a forum member, but I have been around the community and my buddy’s JOELO rigs for over 2 years. I met some of you at the GLX 2011 Xtoberfest run, the NXM2 and the 2013 goneMOAB events. My rig came with a bunch of mods, but I already made a bunch more on my end and have an even bigger bunch in my wish list.
Here are some pics of how it is looking so far:

Some quick personal info:
  • I am 34 years old
  • Originally from the west coast of Puerto Rico
  • Been living in Illinois for the last 12 years
  • Married with 2 daughters (9 and 1)
  • I am an IT Application Developer working for a major insurance company (one of my specialized skills is video streaming)
  • As you can probably deduct by the way my rig’s look, my other hobby is fishing
I am looking forward to meet even more of the community members in future events. I am trying to go to NXM3 (fingers crossed) and will probably go to this year’s GLX Xtoberfest.

Whose rig did you buy? Is that an awning on your roof rack or storage for fishing poles (I cannot tell from pics)? Nice build!

Thanks! I bought the X from a local club (Great Lakes Xterra - GLX) member, but I don't know his site alias. The piece on the roof's passenger side is a piece of PVC tube meant for storage. I can fit two half shafts in there. I could also fit two piece rods if needed. In the future I intend to replace it with an actual rod storage case (once I find one of the discontinued Frabill clamp style Pack-a-Rod).

You should ask Sean (NMXterra) about his Hockey Stick mod

Probably in class..
I remember someone mentioned that you had a different tire on the front at NXM. Is there any reason you are running your spare and have the matching KM2 on the carrier? If thats just how you want to roll I completely understand, just didn't know if you were doing it for a reason or not.

Yes, I really wanted to go, but my daughter had a last minute rehearsal for a play that she could not missed. You know how it is, family over fun time. Hopefully I can go to the sprint run.

Honestly, I did not realized it until after i bought the X. The truck came with 3 KM2 and 2 KM. The tires still have over 50%, so I guess I will be running it like that for a while, unless I find a good deal for a used 33" KM2.
