My recent upgrades include a set of Hefty Fabworks skid plates (way overdue) and Offroad Gorilla hood gas struts to replace the OEM rod. I'm looking forward to receiving and installing the new Nisstec lift that I ordered last week to replace the PRG lift spacers that I currently have.

Same here. I might actually go up Friday night and find a place to camp, make a full weekend out of it. I'm thinking about starting a thread on here to gauge interest from the ExPo folks.

Also, this will be my first run with the NWXC crew. Should I expect to be hazed? Will there be paddling involved? So many questions that need to be answered.......

Great setup, have you thought of a storage setup?

Thank you! I haven't decided what direction I want to go as far as storage. Right now I'm just using a combination of 8-gal ActionPackers and 20-gal Husky totes. Easy to transfer from my garage and back again.

Details on the roof rack?

Truck looks great!

Thanks! The roof rack was a made by my cousin's son (2nd cousin I guess??) who was only 17 at the time and trying to get into fabrication. It's inspired by the DepHep roof rack (hepsdesigns.com) made exclusively for Xterras. The idea was to have some extra storage space that was low profile, unlike the Curt rooftop gear basket that I previously had mounted on top of the OEM crossbars. This rack drops in between the roof bars allowing stored items to sit 4-5 inches lower and it's much more rugged. In the end, this rack is really just holding me over until I get a full Gobi rack and RTT.

Here are a couple pics:

Nice! Are you going to be able to get all that installed before the fortune creek run this weekend? What spring rate did you get on the Coilovers?
