Looking good! That is coming from another 6spd, Night Armor owner that looks pretty darn similar so I an extremely biased.

Thanks, I love how yours looks too! I'm probably getting trail graps after the mtrs wear out and a gobi stealth is on my future mod list, so maybe our Xs will look even more similar at some point. As long as you don't get the same wheels as me when I get new tires, I'll be fine with having yours looking close to mine.

Little update since the last time I've been on here. I got my OTRATTW switches installed, replaced the JL G6600 with a JL Slash series 300/4, added 12 one-foot led strips for rock lights, tinted my tail lights, and jumped in on the P&P Engineering GB and am getting 62" type 2 sliders with 2 supports. I'm probably going to paint the remaining plastics and roof rack darker black to complete the look, has anyone else done this and have any paint to recommend?

Put on Level 8 MK6 wheels 17x8 +0 offset with 295/70r17 nitto trail grapplers, defintely an improvement over the MT/Rs. I had to cut more metal off of it and cut the pinch weld, but they can turn fine. Also replaced the GlowProLED led strips woth BriteNiteLED rock lights, which are significantly brighter. Also mounted a hi lift to the roof, replaced the Hertz door speakers with JL C2-650s in the front and back, swapped the red firestik for a black one, mounted a 48" hi-lift to the roof, added CruiserGear paracord handles and put in GlowProLED red interior lights.

Switch install is awesome! Nice job. Loving all the lights.

Do you have any close up detail shots on your projector retrofit? I've never seen one in OE 2nd gen housings before. What are your opinion on the minis? I did the mini d2s in mine and I realized later that I should have gone with the huge 3" Lexus units.

Since I actually got someone else to build my headlights for me, I don't have any pictures of them close up in the process. IIRC there was a group buy possibly on another forum for the Mini H1 projectors from theretrofitsource, but I didn't participate in that, so there's some people out there with them that did the build themselves. Here's a picture from HID Projectors of another Xterra with the same shrouds.

So, a little change in the build. Ordered Fabtech frontier lift kit, PRG UCAs, Radflo 2.0 coilovers built to fabtech height from PRG, Radflo rear 2.0 emulsions from PRG, rear 4" lift Alcans, shims from PRG, U-bolt flip from PRG, Sway bar end-links from PRG, and extended front brake lines from PRG. Should be all on in March, thinking of powdercoating some of the suspension a cherry red color or maybe silver, but I'll see.

I have all the parts I ordered except coilovers, probably what I get for trying to deal with PRG. Ordered January 20 and shipped Friday. Hopefully will have it all on by the end of next week.

Well did a few things. Lifted it, added a rock light, got a new clutch and flywheel, and got some new headlights. Still need to lift the back more and get a driveshaft, but I like it right now.

Couple things done since last time. Mounted up 315/70r18 (36x13.00) Toyo Open Country M/Ts, installed my Tom Woods driveshaft, installed Nismo CAI, picked up PRG shackles, and got more tint.

Installed PRG shackles, but it still rubs on the plastic on the fender instead of the metal like before. Also got my diff cover and trailer hitch powder coated to match the suspension.

Looking great! I love those wheels. Don't worry though, I won't get the same (looking way back to when you first posted the build [emoji846])
Time for some custom rear corners!

Dude, this thing is a beast. Hope you run straight pipes.

lol no, my intake and tuner is enough sound for me I'm scared of what this v6 would sound like with an exhaust

I'll probably sell it before I put corners on it or even really do anything else to it
