I'm excited. Mainly because this is a step I've wanted to take for a while now. Next will be spacers to give it a bit more aggressive look. Thought about buying wheels but I kinda like the stock ones, saves on weight as well

Just a casual photo dump, I think these will be in a better resolution compared to the tapatalk hosted photos.

Those tires are pretty sweet. I've never heard of them. How do they pull and clean out? Judging from the pics, pretty dang well!

They caked up coming out of the hole, but by the time I made it to the road (about a 500 ft section) they were rather clean. Brought some mud to the road but not what I was expecting

Awesome, my BFG's actually don't clean out as well as you would think for being a "Top Brand Name" I'm half a mile down the road from where I come out of a mud run and I still heard clogs of crap hitting up into my fenders and seeing a trail of slop behind me.

I think that factor is going to diminish as the tread wears down, but I do know that they cleaned up well. Like I said, these things are very new to me so I don't know much about them. I'm still trying to find the perfect air pressure for them.

Easy way. Get a big piece of kids chalk and overinflate the tires. Draw a line across the entire tread of the tire. Just the main tread. Stay off the side lugs. Roll the truck. See where the chalk was removed. Let some air out and repeat until you have the most of the line removed that's possible w/o riding on the side lugs.

Mine settled in at right around 28-29PSI.

My dad was talking about this, and I plan on doing this here shortly (probably this weekend).

Now just to find some little kid and steal his chalk..

Just an update post NXM, I picked up a few things and for those who are wondering about the Kenda Klevers, I ran almost every trail for NXM in 2wd and never got stuck, these tires are amazing for the price. Thoroughly impressed with them.

Here are a few things I picked up,

Hitch from JackStilts

These White Knuckle sliders came off of a totaled X, and were originally slotted to go to Tim, however he sold his Xterra and I was selected to take his place and receive them. My old sliders went to Jason (Edodrian)

These skids came off of Jason's (Edodrian) rig. They were also on Dana's (powerguy37) rig before him.. Both of those truck now have a solid axle, so I am hoping that the Solid Axle fair visits me at some point, its the luck of the skids. I am going to leave them this color in order to preserve the heritage and plus this green is just badass.

Finally I tried to fit some 49x21 tires under the truck, I might have to do a little trimming..

The ride home was a convoy with the NOAS crew, these guys are awesome and I plan on wheeling with them and they should be posting up here soon on our board, we can start to get some connections going and maybe get some more clubs to run together

Tucker, I'm glad to see you ended up with the sliders. I know you'll put them to good use.

Sent from over there...

I think that they will be repainted and put on the X tomorrow, I can't do it in our parking lot but I am planning on painting them in some parking lot and installing them tomorrow once they dry..

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.
