you wheel your Xterra without an IAB? i see you like to live dangerously...
No, Dave pulled his TC IAB and offered it to me, so I swapped it out with my AC IAB and gave that to him.

NXM was my first off road trip WITH an IAB and HD TRAs. I guess I've just been lucky. I've got both now though.

Efan is getting wired up and if I can find some time this weekend I will wire it up.. Can't wait to get that HP back. Also I am going to be on the NOAS run in October, skids should be installed that weekend. That should wrap up the NXM mods, other than the hitch and flip, which I am still planning on doing, just have to figure out how to cut into the bumper (nicely)

were you running hot on the trails at all with the prop fan?
- Location
- Probably in class..
No, not at all, the main reason behind the swap is 1, keep water from being splashed EVERYWHERE when that fan hits water. 2, HP gain back. 3. Just to say that I did.

i asked cuz i was wondering how good the prop fan would work with the BL and the shroud off center to the fan and blah blah blah wind math.
looking foward to seeing how the install goes RW.

If I ever visit you, my truck is going to look so different. Chopped, locked, swapped.. The possibilities are endless

Flushed the radiator, swapped in the new upper radiator hose with the temperature adapter in it, pulled the mechanical fan and took it for a test drive. So far no leaks and the rest of the efan swap will come after class. I'll take some photos as well. Not much to see but hey, it's whatever.

I put the sliders on because they were taking up too much room in the house, I also put them on without repainting them because I don't have the time or the place to do so.
I don't think they were made for a body lift, and I am okay with where they sit. Also showing a little NXM love.
Thanks again to all who made these possible.
I really like the placement of that sticker. Looks awesome man. I'd say if you covered the bottom of the truck you could get away with a couple coats of bedliner on those sliders while they're bolted up?
I've bed lined my rocker panels but he is right. You won't get 100% coverage but you can get at least 95%.

I need to take them off and strip them down and repaint them. I've thought about painting them on the truck but as of right now it isn't the biggest worry
I hear ya. I have plenty of room at my house, just no time. I'm in a similar boat. I still have to figure out how to get these low profile bumps stops in...

Just know that you're not alone.
...but I figured it out. Therefore, so can you
I'm starting to think of cutting some of the threads off to squeeze them in. Unless you'd like to PM me with a few pointers?

Those sliders are definitely not for a BL'd truck. Mine are less than an inch from the bottom of the tub.

Yeah, I think I like the gap though, girls trying to get in the truck seem to like it as well, I am thinking about bedlining the bottom of the doors in order to make the gap look smaller.

I don't know if this happens to others, but I look at my truck and see it as slightly modified, almost stock looking.. I wonder what is going to happen when I drop a solid axle under the front.. I hope I think it looks modified then.
I also see this because I am a big guy, so for me it isn't an issue to get into the truck so I don't see it as "lifted" it is just at the height that it should have been stock. It is like I made it "my size".

I look at mine as modified but not heavily modified. I would feel the same as you if I didn't have hefty bumpers. I agree on the lift as well I'm able to slide in and out rather then feeling like I'm slightly bending down.

I know the big guy syndrome haha I hit my head when I go wheeling or even hit a speed bump....
It gets a bit easier to get into. I guess. Much easier to get out of though.

You just need to instal the electric drop down steps, or hook up a rappelling rig over the door Air Assault style.

Yep, I just read through all 40 pages. Good stuff, man! :bmmd:
I may have just missed it.. But what happened to the wheels? The ones that was on the Isuzu, I think..

I ended up selling them to a guy who was going to put them on a trailer. I really wanted 33x10.50x15s on my truck but the money was never there for them.

Thanks man, I am having fun with the tires, I love them. She is always going to be a budget build but that makes you just love your car even more.

Picked up a Kicker L5 10" from a local pawn shop (keep you comments down about where I got it from.. I know what I am buying) and dropped it in a ported box. Finally back to the subtle back massages and heart beat altering bass.
