He made that bumper, himself (he's a fabricator of Xterra armor). It's a one-off, as he doesn't mass produce the front bumpers. He does, however, make rear bumpers, sliders, and other items I think? His rear bumpers are EXTREMELY popular in the Xterra community. I've seen several in person, and...

Wow, 16" of travel? That's impressive. Any reason this kit wouldn't work with a 4WD vehicle, other than the need to employ custom CV shafts (which would be pricey)?

Thanks! The dark colored one is mine and it's an ARB bumper.

Another local Nissan guy (driving a yellow 1st Gen, El Bandito Amarillo) trekked out to the Olympic Peninsula on the 23rd and 24th to camp and do some high country snow exploration. We made our way to our camp site on the shores of the Skokomish River in the darkness, narrowly avoiding a herd...

On Christmas Eve, our goal was to reach Upper Elk Lake in the Olympics through Washington Pass from Lake Cushman. We made it about a mile up the mountain from the south, but the snow got too slick and the incline too steep. It would have been irresponsible to keep going. Instead, we pursued an...

Yes, that's correct. It's definitely more than 1.5 inches.

If you do this, you're just allowing yourself to run the M205 front differential, you're not truly 'Titan Swapping'. Which is fine if you simply want the benefit of having the more robust differential in place of the R180. If you truly want to TS, you've got to use the Titan width LCAs, UCAs...

I don't even want to comment on your build thread anymore. The jealousy just hurts too much.

I found a set of used OEM LCAs (with <5k miles) with Moog LBJs already pressed in for $75 if I remember correctly. I got lucky with that find. The hardest part for me was removing the OEM LCA bolts on the rear of both LCAs, as the 4 months of Upstate NY road salt that the X was exposed to the...

I had a similar "popping/clunking" going for over a year. Essentially the exact same symptoms you're describing. It went away completely when I swapped out my stock LCAs and lower ball joints for new OEM LCAs with moog LBJs. I swapped these parts to install my cam bolts (the rear bolts on each...

This sounds like something that could use, dare I says NEEDS, my involvement. I've been dieing for an excuse to see Montana. No need to verbalize the fact that you're bringing the beer, Tom. That goes without saying :coffee:

Nothing affords greater photo opportunities than flights through remote locations. Some of the best pictures I have in my limited personal photographic gallery came from flying between bases in remote parts of the world. As always, I'm jealous of your travels, Tom. Morrison? Do...

"Not bad" is a relative assessment, considering the standard views available here in the PNW:ylsmoke: I feel the same way about a trip to Colorado/Utah. I need to just buckle down and commit to planning my MOAB trip. I'm loving the RTIC thus far. Not the same brand recognition as the Yeti...

I haven't really updated this thread in a while, despite taking multiple trips all over WA throughout the summer and early fall. Sadly, I've done a poor job of documenting my exploits via photograph. I haven't done much to the X lately, as I've got it just about the way I want it (we'll see how...

Excellent report, and congrats again on the marriage! Although, I wish you could have grabbed a few shots of the grizzlies, I'm jealous as I've never seen one in the wild....

I ran OME MD coilovers with 1.5 inch spacers for a year. The travel yielded by this setup was outstanding, but I think it caused premature wear in my lower ball joints. My driver side LBJ was toast at ~45k miles when I finally swapped it out. I now run extended travel Coilovers with 1 inch...

If you're looking to tow anything (including your teardrop) go with a 2nd Gen. More than sufficient power to tow your camper while running 33s in any conditions. This is not the case with the 1st Gen platform. You shouldn't have to re-gear unless you really want to or you go bigger than 33...

Sorry, just now seeing this. Yes, I had the same issue. I believe the LEDs will fix it, but it doesn't bother me enough to add them yet.

Welcome to the club! You'll love the bumper. Also.... In the immortal words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt after the Allied incursion of Western Europe on June 6th, 1944.......pictures or it didn't happen.
