First the Name, KUMA means bear in japanese, and was the name of last dog. He was a black lab / golden retriever mix that I got for my 14th birthday. He passed this last december do something the doctors couldn't explain but he was truely a best friend! This is him... I named the vehicle after him long before he passed as I used the nickname for video games when playing with friends and all my friends knew my dog really well and sometimes would even come over just to play with him I am serious! So it was natural that KUMA be the name.
Second the Vehicle Information, my project starts with a 2000 Nissan Xterra in blue. I wanted yellow but sometimes it's just really hard to find a vehicle exactly the way you want! I bought the truck from some punk little kid who had far too much money and didn't care for it because he thought it was girls car... He had 3 vehicles while owning this and probably only washed it once he didn't even clean it out and I found a still sealed condom in the glove box the night I bought it. But it was in great condition and I knew I could make it even better!
Reason I chose to purchase this vehicle was do to my friend owning a brand new 2002 S/C in high school that he thrashed and didn't care about but every single girl seemed to love it and wanted it. I guess it is a ladies vehicle but once modified they just want to ride in it! That is partly how I got my girlfriend I am serious about that as well! She drove it without a license and even ran a red light before we were dating. But I knew the X has everything I want even had the Limited Slip Diff and was fully equiped SE model w/ sunroof.
My family is very much into the desert exploring and expeditions. Since I was 14 we have gone every single weekend even in winter on our motorcycle out to the desert to explore. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and as many of you know we have lot's of desert and mountains. In less then an hour I can be a flat warm desert or in a cool high forest mountains. On our motorcycles we had everything equiped and set just right! I owned a Suzuki DR350 (Mod's were bored out 410cc, 5 Gallon clear Desert Tank, Yoshimura Exhaust, custom Aluminum Air box with K&N filter, GPS, Heated hand grips, and Heated vest connection) we would usually start our day at 9 am and end at about 10 pm with about an hour and half drive back home to still go. Our typical day was planning a route and usually getting about 250+ miles. We have explored everything from Grouse Creek in northern west corner down to Delta in middle of West utah. And even then some. After my dad took a fall on his BMW 650 GS and broke his wrist and we had to wait 2 hours for a sheriff to pick us up and take us an hour away to Nephi even though we could see Delta in the distant but were across county lines my dad decided no more with the motorcycles. Within a week of breaking his wrist there was a brand new Yellow 2007 Wrangler JK in my front drive way and less then a month later my Xterra.
Next time I post I will post up pic's of each of mod's and some trip pictures. But here is a few for your viewing pleasure!
Again more to come later!
