Creek's Xterra Build Thread

[AZ-Ted]

Looks good John. 12,000+ views, you are obviously doing something right. :rockon:

Very impressive project!

A neighbour has an X and it really strikes me as a more logical and comfortable alternative to my Jeep TJ. He's quite an outdoors guy - several bikes, kayaks, etc. - bicycled across Spain last year. Owns a Montesa trials motorcycle, a KYM motorad and a garage full of outdoor toys (no shortage of money).

It's interesting because he's looking the Jeep over closer and really paying attention to my new winch. I wonder if he sees a new outdoor recreation potential in his vehicle which perhaps never crossed his mind before.

Great work on your Nissan.

The Titan swap is complete :wings:
(I know, I know - I need an alignment - I'm going in an hour)

 

[MisterTinkle]

Looks great! Well done. Lots of changes this week on your rig. The Titan swap will really strengthen up the front end.

 

[Cypher]

Congrats on the swap. You are going to be amazed at the amount of suspension travel you will have now. What's the spring rate on the coilovers?

Nice! Did you use wheel spacers in the rear?

 

[Creek]

600# coils on there. I love em. And yeah, I used 2" spacers from Fred at Wheeladapters - they're beefy.

Great job!

That's a nice rig.

What did you do with your old rubber? (I am interested in buying them off you if they're just taking up space)

 

[Creek]

My AT's are in storage - awaiting next winter. I can't keep the MT"s on in the winter with the snow around here.

 

[Creek]

so, last week, I put on a 2" BL and the new tires I won in the GONE raffle (awesome!!!) 315/75/16 KM2's. Then I drove across the country to ECXC. Just got back last night. Here's some pics from Rausch Creek with the new meats and BL.

this is the only 2gen i have ever liked. very nice!

 

[CoastalDefender]

Dude, those tires are outrageous!!!

 

[AZ-Ted]

Hey John, I guess 35s aren't as overrated when they are free, huh??

How much trimming did you have to do to fit those tires?

Your truck looks so much different than when I saw it last October at the West Coast Meet (Snorkel, Titan Swap, 2" BL, and 35s).

Great looking truck. Finest X I've seen around and the moab video posted a few pages back is just sick!

How do you like the KM2s compared with the Firestones? Similar grip, road manners??
