All done! (for now)

A lot more to do, and supplies/gear to buy, but one piece at a time is how I have to do it.

Hey maxterra good to see you over here. I've always liked your work.

 

[Rev]

I've seen your truck before,and again I have to say it is sweet!

That is the most BA bumper I've seen on an Xterra. :Wow1:

 

[Sexy6Chick]

Hey there, good to see ya on here. Still can't get over that awesome custom front bumper you made.

 

[mcm4090]

Your front bumper is amazing.

 

[Blain]

[CoastalDefender]

Wow. Lots of newX members here:rockon:

Indeed.

And your X is one of my favorite. Your metal-**** is unbelievable. :wings:

 

[4Rescue]

WOW... Now that is some really nice fab work there mate, I wish I had 1/100th your skills. Well done eh.

I hate to say it though, but honestly, now with all that sweet armor and stuff you've made... I just gotta say again, WOW, what an awesome job you did... You need some bigger tires... I know you've got new tires on it already, but it just needs some 33's or even some 35's to go with that amazing armor it has now. Even oif they're just for the trail.

Cheers

Dave

I'm gonna Re-intro mine since it got its long awaited suspension makeover.

Recently completed the "titan swap", meaning it now has a titan front diff, LCA's, CV's, aftermarket titan UCA's, inner & outer tie rods = lots more travel, lift & wider stance.
Only thing original from the frame down from before is the front spindles/brakes.













Front: PRG spec'd Radflo 2.5" coilovers w/eibach 650lb springs & remote rez. Radflo bump stops. Limit straps. Stainless brake lines. Rough country titan UCA's. Moog titan LCA's. Moog tie rods. Titan CV's. Titan diff w/arb air locker.
Rear: M226 (d44 variant) with e-locker. Alcan springs 3" lift 450#+ cap. Timbren bumpstops. Fox Racing 26" shocks, remote rez, valved by PRG. New lower shock brackets. U-bolt flip kit by PRG. PRG alum diff cover 1" thick. All brackets & mounts for cables & sensors moved up for reach at full flex.

Rear driveline modified with Tom Woods pinion adapter/yoke by Seagull Diesel.
All bumpers, sliders, full skids and other fab by maXTERRA.

Still need to install 4:56 gearing, Viair ultra OBA & tanks. Switching over to Aurora LED lighting. New roof rack in the works now. Probably adding 2" BL and switching to 35"'s soon.

Took it thru the Uintas Saturday and drove it hard, and what a difference from before! Extremely happy with the results and should have done it long ago.
