Also got the roof cleaned off and ready for some flat black vinyl goodness.

Even with the bolts in, some of those damn nuts leak like crazy.

Here's the color coordinated wiring loom that will run down the A pillar of the truck to feed power from the fuse panel, illumination, and outputs for the rock lights and bumper lights.

Roof vinyl is getting done today. So I went on the attack with some 2 part epoxy to the riv nuts I figure gluing them to the roof will not only help seal from water, but it'll ensure that these damn things can't move.

There's a few ripples and bubbles that need to be dealt with. But it needs to sit for about 24 hours before I can mess with them. Now it's time to start prepping the rack for wiring and paint.

Is it possible to tack weld these? Tack weld so it doesn't distort the sheet metal. Obviously you would have to remove a bit of paint, but when finished welding you can touch it up with primer (not a pun here ;) ) and paint.

You're lucky. You don't have to worry about them. The threads on the 1st gen roof are integrated into the truck and completely sealed.

Yeah. But my moms got a 2015 pro4x xterra too that I will be taking over once she moves onto a new car. When she was searching for a car, I directed her to the Xterra only!!!!

I think the main problem you would have is how thin the roof metal is but I have no idea how to weld lol

Fancy. I wanted to do mine but all of the wetbox bolts just spin. Might try to tackle it this summer.
