So im new to having an account but not new to the Xterra or watching your board. Fair warning this is going to be a long post lol. The names Dylan and I actually wheel an Isuzu. But dad has the xterra and i just do all the work. I know several people on here like Houdini and Richard from Rockhumper fab. Some of you may have seen me around under the name 04silverX. Well here is what we started with!

I dont have to tell guys much it was armored and shackles and that was it. Surprised a lot of jeeps on the trails around here. Well we bought the truck new in 04 and it had wheeled allover the country. Including when it was less then a year old out in CO. We were just starting to get ready to really get our baby to the next step when this happened

I am just supper thankful dad was ok and the other people were pretty much ok. Cops said it was the other ladys fault and dad just couldn't do anything. So we debated a couple weeks of what were we going to do fix it or get a new one and part her out. We were ready to fix her but with time constraints and just not really having the room to do with with a project car in the garage already we found this for sale!

So we figured for the price it wasn't bad and the time aspect was worth it. So sadly we are parting out our old truck. Now just so everyone knows if the frame hadn't been bent we would have fixed the truck no questions asked or if we had room.

So now we need to move over our skidplates and hubs and bodylift that is stashed away.

Hope you all like and am always so impressed when i see the Colorado rigs. When dad sees them it makes him wish we had never left colorado considering him and mom met and married out there.

Tell me what u all think and lookforward to wheeling with you guys sometime.

Welcome from another Isuzu owner. (and planet member)

Nice new X, glad you guys just bought another X instead of fixing the old one.

Hey man yeah i wondered if i would see u over here. Im glad in some ways we did and some ways saddened the silver one was our baby we bought new so for someone to take it from us was bad. But it will live on in some ways!
