What have you done for your X?

[Smileyshaun]

I think he was talking about the tape line.

ahhhhh
It still needs to be wet sanded and another layer of primer sprayed on so I saw no point it taping it very well lol

 

[HanCholo]

I figured it was still unfinished. But as far as my skilz, that would be a finished MS Paint product for me.

 

[Smileyshaun]

But I doubt I’ll get around to finishing it at this point and I hate bodywork so I just dropped the price another 500$ and will let the next owner deal with it

 

[Richard]

Be advised OCD'ness next......

So I had to remove right front wheel to repair something simple. This turned into cleaning that wheel well. Which led to cleaning the other wheel wells. Which led to overall good cleaning now that the weather is nice here.
Just a reminder my rig is 2 wheel drive pavement pounder hound hauler.

So Blue

Did you wax that upper control arm

 

[Richard]

Did you wax that upper control arm

Nope, it is brand new. The front end was rebuilt in the last 6 months. Just sprayed purple clean and pressure washed.
The other day went to get gas and the attendant (Oregon) asked "you just had this painted". Nope original paint. Just OCD about keeping my cars clean.

 

[Smileyshaun]

Got half the rock lights installed and wired up

 

[Zack.]

Gotta finish buttoning things up tomorrow. Got the new shaft in and new brake shoes on after this pic. 0.8 hours my a$$ NTB10-008. Though maybe with a lift and airtools that would be more appropriate.

[HanCholo]

Are you happy with the Gorilla cover? I was looking at that compared to the ARB. I like how the ARB has the easy fill and check features, but for the price, the OR Gorilla is worth considering.

 

[Zack.]

It’s pretty stout and I’m digging it so far - though it’s going to be a while before it gets put to any kind of test, or even sees extended driving time.

 

[TerryD]

Installed a new stereo and been finishing up the locker wiring. Can't find 8awg 3/8 ring terminals locally so I had to order them. Hoping to get the locker wiring run to the rear axle tomorrow and hooked up so all I have to do is make my connection to the battery.

 

[Matt34]

Bit the bullet, soon to be fully locked with 4.10’s. I’ll be getting an ARB for the M205 and then start collecting parts for the Titan swap.

Make sure you have that stuff looked over good. Old DM doesn't have the greatest rep. He sold Miguel a Frontier M226 for his Xterra and a used M205 for more than you can order a new one for through Courtesy Nissan.

With that said, I don't think that's a bad price for what's there. Just be sure it's in as good a shape as he says before putting it on.

Hate dam Mice!!!
Started to smell Mice Via Vents. ( ugh again). Removed Zip tie holding cover for Cabin Filters. ( Broke that dam Cheap tab back in 07 )

**Bitching an moaning for tight area to work in. Made for child Fingers Not Manly man hands. ;-)

 

[Richard]

I painted my wheel trim and front wheel well kick panels.

 

[kryter]

someone told me this is only good for a year or more...... this is after a UV wax job, I think if your OCD and take care of it it will be fine

Just changed mine too. No mice in mine though.

 

[BEEFY]

Refilled and bleed the power steering and coolant. Also the headers glow a nice red after 15-20 min of idling

 

[CHUG]

Lysol sprayed filters sure stink next morning. Fan on level 4 no vibrations or thumps. No mouse fell into gerbil wheel fan housing. Like in the past. Guts an gooo. From high G force.

Least it’s cov19 safe for xterra mask. Not sure what level it’s rated N100, N95?. I do keep social distance from other vehicles . and I mandatory record them for the new pc correct herd tracking. Haha.

 

[Richard]

Just dropped rear bumper and roof rails off at powder coater.

 

[Richard]

Stuff you do waiting for parts to move forward. Paint your spare.

[Richard]

So installed a receiver hitch. Going to start building me a shed and need to haul lumber etc. via utility trailer.

 

[kryter]

[Xterrorista]

[kryter]

[Richard]

Found a perfect fit cargo organizer for the back.

 

[Zack.]

Popped a P0300 and then a P0303. Let the research begin.

 

[TheCrabby1]

Found a perfect fit cargo organizer for the back.

That's a lot better then that big hard plastic rectangular box that came with my Gen 2 as an Xterra bonus/add on ?? Fold-able Good

 

[Richard]

So got bumper back from powder coater. Turned out great.

 

[Richard]

So I am finished with my pavement pounder. Re-painted rear hatch, add hitch, re-route exhaust through bumper, powder coated rear bumper, roof rails and x bars. New Yokohamas also. Clay barred, used turtle wax blue for color enhancement, ceramic sprayed.

Then to top off subdued US flag.
Happy memorial day to all and most important thanks Veterans.

 

[Newb]

That looks fantastic! The blue pops!

 

[SledheadX]

Spent the weekend installing new headache medicine. Just wanted to change brand and go prescription meds. Old RF meds are still fine so may be selling them. Just wanted to hear Satriani’s “Flying In A Blue Dream” in proper glory. Next is research on replacement heart meds under the driver seat. Don’t want a pill box in the back. Too much other stuff back there.

 

[29erClan]

I finally got around to installing that yaesu I picked up last year. Wife came out to see what I was up to pulling out plastic to run the antenna cable... she offered to help clean up the dirt and dog hair so I gutted it. Nice and clean by lunch time, and all back together now.

Those are neat radios! I run APRS a lot. It has some interesting functionality that most folks don't even know about!

But the person you text has to be a ham to reply. I've sent some one ways to my wife while traveling so she knows I'm ok when remote. Been on her about her tech so we can talk and because of the distance of her drive in case there's an emergency.

 

[29erClan]

I hadn't heard about those yet, thanks for the links!

Out on a drive yesterday (along a 15 mile stretch with no cell towers) my wife asked what she would have to do to use it or get her own radio. I didn't expect that. Gave up trying to get her interested in radio years ago.
