I always liked XJs with their OG SUV shape but man, the rust on that one looks like a challenge. Kudos to you for taking it on and bringing it back to life! Very curious to see how this build goes! Good luck!

Beautiful pictures! Those valley shots look great!

When I went n 2023, it was warm during the day. It could just be a year to year thing. Average is like 70-deg during the day. That sounds perfect to me.

Reading the recap on the main page was great. Right on par with everything else this team usually puts out.

I went a couple years back but couldn't make it this year. It's always good to see the recaps of it, especially from the content creator's side.

I heard good things so looking forward to seeing pics and recaps!

Looks like a lot of fun! Something about those early Xterras that I loved. Small, nimble, and just the right lines.

Love this build!

I would think there would be more room in the top for a more flush fit and finish. With the extra aux switches in there, is it even needed though?

This seems so odd. Not just a Mazda 3 but a Mazdaspeed 3. Based on what I see around in my area, I would have bet everything that the Altima would be #1.

Love it. Any rubbing issues so far? How much 'no poke' are you getting? Since JKs have less wide axles, I have to run at least some sort of spacer to fit 285/75 or larger. So I'm down to a 1" spacer and would love to go lower and be completely flush. With all the weight in gear, did you go for...

That's super frustrating. In hindsight, what would you do different?

That's a great looking set up! Flipping your trajectory to more overlanding from rock crawling, how's your mileage? From Texas on 80mph roads with my small trailer and 34s with 4:10s, I'm seeing 14mpg depending on headwind. Very curious what your set up yields.

The hood really is such wasted space. Glad to see you're using it for something!

There is something so nice about doing these over-engineering modifications when you don't need them. As another R&D engineer, I respect the attention to detail with zinc adhesive although I also don't know the impact. If you want another mod that adds more capability and peace of mind without...

That thing looks great! He looks pumped.

Congratulations on the Jeep! Sounds like it'll fit your goal perfectly with a set of all terrain (three peak) tires. Unless you're terribly worried about mileage, the Jeep makes daily driving so much more fun.

Removing that film and restoring the headlights will do wonders for it! Also, new tires in general can really change the look of a vehicle. Kudos to you for getting him something fun, safe, reliable, AND something to learn to work on with.

Yours looks more level than mine. Were you running the 2.5 AEV springs here? It looks like Falcon shocks under there.

Oh you have to kidding. That's so frustrating. You looking at going with a direct replacement or something different?
