The Free Xterra Build

[relentless044]

So my work schedule changed and left me a lot less time I could work on the x. Today I dropped it at maverick off road fab to have the locker, compressor, lift and alignment done. My bank account gonna be hurting for a good bit, but we almost there, also, my wheels showed up

Home stretch, 3 years, way too much money, but it made it to its first lunch Saturday and air locker was engaged for a small test Sunday, then it got a new interstate battery and loaded on the trailer with the methods in the back, tires windshield registration and some minor things and maintenance. Much excite

nothing real big and theres other things it needs I know, but I noticed the husky floor liner for the back seat on amazon was showing as the last one, and seeing as how this is a 20 year old truck that theres probably not a lot of demand for such things, decided to order it, the front liners, and a rear shackle block for my "hitch"

Time to do some sketchy shiat do da do da hope I get away with it

Wheel spacers help a tad but it still rubs and found a dealer ufck up
I’m a tad frustrated, don’t wanna body lift cause pretty bumpers and sliders won’t line up, don’t wanna cut the body up too much, the additional inch of lift via ac is expensive, gonna go look for a tape measure and see how much rake I have and if so may crank t bars some more and get another alignment

Pulled the wheel spacers off as they were making it worse, pulled mud flaps and all front plastic which I really didn’t want too, but they no longer rub, some minor metal trimming for off road is required, doesn’t look as bad without its plastic as I feared

I feel that. On my 1st Gen I did everything I could to keep that trim. Even if it was only the outer part.

Great looking truck.

Great looking truck.

this is what I was hoping for, that I could have the outer little mud flap thingie so it'd look relatively stockish, but apparently not.

I'm tired and frustrated, its coors light time, if anyone wants some wheel spacers let me know

Looks fine to me!
