Creek's Xterra Build Thread

A little update:

My front Titan diff is in the garage. My brand new M226 rear w/e-locker is in the garage. Still waiting for the Pathy shafts and ABS wheel sensors for the new rear. And, today, I bit the bullet and ordered Radflo 2.5" Coilovers for the front and Radflo Emulsion Shocks for 3-5" of lift in the rear. UPGRADE!

Oh, and i got one of these bad boys too...

Fridge.

Can a roof tent be far behind?

A rtt is most likely the next BIG investment...we shall see. This driveline work set me back about $3500 (so far), so the rtt is gonna have to wait a while.

RTT's are the cat's meow I hear. However, seeing the type of driving you do, I would venture to say an RTT would be more a liability than an investment, at least if we're speaking to you actually putting it on your roof.

I would suggest getting an off road trailer and sticking a RTT on that instead of on top of your rig. You can drop it when you want to rock-crawl, but it will be available at-will.

Just an observation of mine based on what you post pics of your adventures. :1888fbbd:

I have a makesift hoist here (Old basketball hoop pole)...I could remove it without issue to go wheelin. I do enough expo style trips per year to warrant it.

Big Brown showed up today - still waiting on the Pathy shafts and ABS sensors, but I guess this will have to do for today...

The teardown has begun...

Got the front end torn down today. A few minor hiccups, but nothing too bad. Pics:

A nice little way to keep the brake calipers out of the way - bungee to the frame

there used to be a diff here

ahhh...there it is

time to clean up for the day

and, finally, a side by side comparison of the coilovers (2.0 vs 2.5)
