It's official, finally!

[flash_gordon]

Well, picked up my first Xterra this weekend! It's an 01 with 62K. Let the mods Begin!
I am posting up these pics of it stock, because it won't look this way for long. As soon as the motorcycle is sold the 2" BL, PML, 33's, Shrock front bumper and winch, custom sliders and rear tire carrier, ARB locker, and what ever else I can get will be on the way!

[Alpine Spirit]

Coool Now time to get it on the trails.

[ChefTyler]

Get it on the trails stock...give you that much more appreciation for the mods :D

[flash_gordon]

Awesome, Congrats.

Hey, it's really not that bad stock. I can keep up with a 2000 rangie stock. :p

[ChefTyler]

I had a blast stock :D

You'll love the world of body on frame coming from a unibody world...not such a huge deal (structurally) if you tag the body on a big arse rock :D

[Lance T]

Nice, and with less miles than my '04.

[flash_gordon]

It's and SE as well, so I have a LS until the locker goes in. It's a M/T so a gear reduction will be coming very soon! Anyone know how to put them in?
Shawn

[ChefTyler]

Allen Cox does it as side work :D

[flash_gordon]

That's good to know, thanks!

PML with Mickey Thomson MTZ 285/75/16's...

Lookin great!

Damn nice X.

I'm workin' on my junk tomorrow. If you're in the UCCS area, feel free to stop by. :beermug:

[Allen Cox]

Whenever you feel the need for a locker and/or crawlers, let me know. I'll treat you right!

Nice looking X as well. Sounds like a nice build. You should be proud!

[flash_gordon]

Thanks Allen. Your name has been mentioned to me by a few people. Do you do clutches as well? I want to do the gear reduction and clutch at the same time.

3/31/07 Update!
*Calmini steering is in
*Bilsteins are on
*Viair compressor is mounted

Still need.....
-Waiting for the Shrockworks rear bumper and sliders to arrive
-Need to plumb everything for the air tank
-Need to install the SLR UCA's and trans drop (next weekend)
-Need to install the CB

Looking forward to wheeling with some of you guys the summer!!
Shawn:D

[NissanNut]

Wow your fast. Looks great!

[flash_gordon]

Well, rims are on. Moving from a 16x7 5.5bs to a 16x8 5bs sure makes a difference. Looks like I need to do a bit more trimming....:D
Still waiting on the Shrock stuff.... Around two more weeks or so they say. It seems like it's taking for ever! I will be worth it though;)
As soon as I save up a bit more for the new clutch, locker and crawler gears I will be hitting you up Allen.
Still need to finish the OBA system, but I need the rear bumper on so I can mount the tank.
Next update soon, I hope....
Shawn

[flash_gordon]

Rear bumper is finally on. Finished up the OBA as well. I put in a cool little panel in for the compressor switch and gauge. STILL don't have the sliders yet, Shrock lost the order so a few more weeks. Got the gas tank skid on. Front bumper should be here in a month with shipping (I hope). Got a Mile Marker winch sitting in the garage waiting to go in as soon as the bumper shows up. I also ordered new CB stuff. I sold my old stuff from the Jeep a few months ago. I have Warn hubs sitting at home waiting for me to install as soon as I get back in town from Chicago. Should have new pics also. Not that many people probably care about what's going on, it's just fun to see things come together for me:D

Got the front bumper and winch on.
