Hello all,
Sorry for being such a slacker on this thread. I have been trying to make up my mind on if I wanted to get a newer Xterra, or possibly a Land Rover. I have come to the conclusion to keep my little Xterra and get it outfitted to be a bit more capable and create a well set-up platform for camping and the sort of trips I like to do. I have been lucky to be around a lot of very well thought out set-ups and am feeling inspired and excited. I have made a few small improvements in the time sense I last posted, mostly cosmetic. I will post pictures when I get a chance. I do post pictures of it on Instagram every so often @KMM89, I am much better at updating Instagram. In the meantime, I would love some suggestions on what you have done to your vehicles. I am currently searching for a bumper solution I like, haven't found anything super cool yet.
Thanks!
Kelsey

I haven't found anything I particularly like either, some look better than others but I find that almost all make the front bumper look bulbous from the side. The ARB and Shrockwerks are probably the best looking in my opinion, and you can have the shrock made without the light hoops as well.
If you are just looking for a winch mount it isn't terribly difficult to get a winch plate in between the frame horns, although I haven't gotten around to it yet either.

You should look at RLC fabrication, I'll get you the link in a minute on the Xterra RLC fan page. The turn around time and price smoke the deals that Shrocks and ARB can get you.

I have to give a second vote for RLC. He's been great.
Glad you decided to keep the X! Check our builds for pictures and ideas
Quite a few capable 1st Gens on here and on XterraNation.org!
EDIT: I'd keep an eye on this thread too:

It's a good index (for lack of a better term) that pretty much covers the basics for what everyone has done
