It's possible that I might have a couple friends drive my 06 Xterra on a future trip through some remote area. Me and my wife would be in the Tacoma which would be able to handle any support work that might be needed during the trip; however, I would like to add some basic upgrades to fix a couple shortcomings that I've noticed with the Xterra.
1. Recovery points - I want solid, frame mounted, recovery points that I can use a shackle on. I'm not interested in loading it up with aftermarket bumpers, armor, or a winch. I've seen a couple pictures of RockyMtx rear recovery points, but haven't been able to find a location to buy them. They seem to be exactly what I have in mind. Something very similar on the front would be great too. Does anybody have some info on them?
2. Suspension - The weak rear springs have annoyed me for as long as I've owned it, but it's finally time to correct this. I don't really want to lift it at all, but this seem like the only way to get stronger springs without going custom ($$$). The new(er) ARB/OME springs seem like the way to go with their mild 1" lift. Are there other cheap options I've missed for this?
I want to minimize the cost on all of these. It's a daily driver for my wife and is in no way going to replace my truck. What say you, resident experts?
