Do the lid too!

Will you take 50 cents?

Hey jwilson, not sure if you are still monitoring this thread but do you have info on the receiver bracket you bolted the pintle to? Thanks,

I like it. Personally would prefer a side hinge though,

What's the advantage over a simple $100 BlueSea ACR?

2014 Xterra, Pearl's Pass September 2015

This will be very cool. Which coilovers are you going to use that will handle the GVW?

The tires alone are bad ***. 255/100R16 XZL

Not with a 12.5 rating like the SW.

I used to be a Warn guy. Then I bought a Superwinch Talon 12.5 and will never look back. The build quality and smooth operation is twice that of the Warn. Not to mention the specs. I'll never buy a Warn product again, save for an 8274. Most of the people proclaiming Warn as king have never used...

To which generation Xterra are you comparing?

I like your design, have you spec'd out which 90 degree hinges you'll use for the sides?

The long travel kit looks so awesome. Cant wait to see more pics of it.

Also on the Xterra note, I dont know where you'd possibly find a "2012-2013" for $10k - to hit that budget you'll be looking at ~2008's. Which is fine, because they are mechanically identical through all years. The only difference being a small face lift (grille, bumper, headlights) about 2011...

You say you know Rovers. Look at an LR3. Tons of threads on this in the LR section. BTW, I love my Xterra :D People dont seem to understand that its built on the D40 platform, which is globally renowned as a very tough 4wd chassis. I bought my 2014 new and plan on keeping it for a decade.

:) I agree! My next set will be taller, I cant decide between a 285/75R18 Toyo MTs on OEM Titan steel rims (with adapter spacers) or 35x10.50R16 Interco SSRs. I love my KM2s though. A 285/85R16 35x11) KM2 would be my dream tire.

Its all relative. The truck will be at 3000rpm at 75mph. Thats similar to about every other 4x4 I've had. Also, 95% of my driving is on secondary roads at speeds under 50 anyways.

You're on target and I'm working out something similar right now. Just make sure that the solenoid you select can carry the amperage. I've been looking at the Blue Sea 7620 or similar.

That truck probably has a 140+ amp alternator from the factory along with a 800+ CCA battery. More than enough for 97% of all winching tasks on its own.

Yeah I really believe that the excellent traction control system on the Xterra would make these diffs really effective. I'm disappointed I won't be able to test it out, but after breaking two R180's and one C200 the best value for me is to go with the M205 and M226 (with ARBs). If I hadnt come...
