AndrewH's Xterra Evolution.

What size are the tires you have on it currently?

Love that colour. Almost bought one before I ended up with silver

33x 10.50s, comming from a hilux and land cruiser 2 in a former life overseas, i like the tall and skinny. Love the color too (obviously) sometimes i wish i would have gone with orange.... just to be unique as i see my granite every once in a while.

The 33 x 10.5 look great. 33 x 12.5 is too wide in my opinion but to each their own.

Lotsa work this weekend, rebuilding the winch and addressing the rust on the tjm bumper and mounts. repainting the plastic grill and light housings flat black as well.

Good lord, this thing is a beast. I was having issues with my RTT mounted on my rack, and I think the solution is spelled "SAS..."

Spent some time this weekend prepping for the rear storage drawers comming in from Adventure trailers. Nice and quiet in here now.

Awesome Xterra! Keep the pics coming.

Great looking X! Looks amazing. keep the updates coming on the drawers. When you pulled the bumper, did you just cut the wires to the lights, or do you have quick disconnects?

 

[XTorrey]

I may have missed it, but can you tell me where you ordered the console components from?

WIll update as soon as I have some time, probably not until the weekend

They are ordered from CDW... http://concept.gamberjohnson.com/catalog/c/docking/equipment_consoles_(mcs_series)/c69c?d=1

Order where you can find the cheapest...

 

[andrewh]

got around to adding things that i had sitting in the garage.

Rebuilt the winch, runs so much smoother now

Warn fairlead and thimble finally installed, bought these like 2 years ago... sigh....


New solenoid pack, much lighter than the previous ones but also have shorter cables that attach to the winch

This weekend mods

K&n Apollo universal air box to plumb to the snorkel. Was missing a part from the kit a few months ago, showed up on my doorstep and i had completely forgotten about it. Picked up one of these
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BPUTQE/ref=oh_details_o00_s02_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
to get the MAF to work with it.

Currently I am using the stock airbox modified to work with a 2.5 inch opening, restrictive as hell but works. Normally i just take the 3 in stopper from the front most hole in the airbox out. Now hoping to have 3 inches all the way through *giggidy*

Updating this thread on progress on the air intake. I tried every combination that our small engine bays allowed. That K&N apollo is junk, dont get it, pretend I never mentioned it. I put that thing on and you could hear the engine struggle. K&N dont post CFMs for their filters. But with a little math I calculated it to be about 270 ish. At max torque and HP, my super charger pulls in upwards of 500 CFM...

Ive tried River Raiders Airbox. Again, too few CFM... plus had to modify the crap out of it so it would even seal well. Finally had to frankenstein an airbox, used the housing from this http://www.spectreperformance.com/search/product.aspx?prod=9831 and modded it to work replacing the guts as well as sealing it up better. Pics to follow.

That TJM bumper is sick. I like it more than my ARB.
