Hello all !

You will have to forgive me as I am not always active on the forums but I wanted to share the build on my 2012 Nissan Xterra Pro4X. My goal with this build, which I have done myself since purchasing new in 2012, was to build the ultimate combination of an expedition ready / rock-crawling go-anywhere I want rig

Look's great! Could you add pic's of the rear? I would be interested in seeing that if possible.

Yes- just realized there are none, here are a couple different ways I have run it - always changing!

Wow thats one heck of a build...
Titan swapped , with 35's and properly re-geared.

Thank you very much ! Its been a labor of love, started with the 4.56's and found the 5.12's to be perfect with the manual
