This could be anywhere
My ongoing first gen Xterra build thread
I have a 2002 Supercharged 5spd manual xterra and it's still pretty stock, mostly been doing a lot of maintenance and little things, but I've got some cool plans in mind for it still, just gotta keep pecking away at the list as finances allow.
Quick run down of what I've done to it in the year and a half I've owned it:
New power steering pump
New brake booster
new distributor
new plugs and wires
Repacked wheel bearings
New brakes
Replaced the Knock sensor
New Valve Cover gaskets
New upstream O2 Sensors
New Cd player
Bandit 4x4 Steering idler arm bushings
Total Chaos Steering Idler arm brace
And I've just ordered a set of Bilsteins for it.
Things I still want to do to it.
New tires - Looking to get some new shoes for this thing in the next couple months
Rebuild the heads - with new lifters and high performance cams...
While I'm doing that I'm gunna throw on a set of headers as well that will really bring the supercharger to life, just waiting for the cats to pack it in to do all that.
Now for some pictures:
The day I got it, the plastic grill was covered in some sort of yellow build up, that I quickly took care of with some elbow grease, wd40 and a (old)dish sponge. I ripped those dumb double mudflaps off as well.
The next thing I did was change out the bad knock sensor, took about 10 hours since I did valve cover gaskets and spark plugs as well (Which ended up being the wrong ones, and I had to change them out again once everything was all assembled)
There I think I was doing my wheel bearings, I wanted to post this to show how much cleaner the grill is now.. Also I had painted the headlight surrounds a darker gray colour.
Just a lame picture of the steering idler arm bushings and brace.
Now I hope this is allowed, I would like to share some of the pictures of my X in its natural environment.
This is out near Carmanah Walbran Provincial park
This was the road to Obstruction point, at Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National park (Great spot definitely recommend everyone to go there)
On the beach at Ocean Shores, Washington
In the Redwoods
Somewhere in Idaho along the clearwater river
Near Nahmint lake on Vancouver Island
The beginning of the Lolo Pass in Montana
Lassen peak, California
Our campsite north of Ft Bragg California.
I'll try to keep on top of what I do to my truck in a timely fashion.
Thanks for looking, questions and comments always welcome
Cheers
