Samguert's Xterra Build

[samguert]

Hi! My name is Sam and I've been looking around on the forum since few month. I'm from Montreal, Canada and I the owner of the X since almost one year now.

I plan to make some more overlanding activities soon, so my ultimate goal is to make it a reliable offroad and overland vehicule. Im new to this kind of build, but Im handy and love to learn!



This is my X when I got It:

2003 Nissan Xterra, 3.3L 4wd. 165 000km

The only pics of him 100% stock:

Then I did the timing belt and water pump, general tune-up, KN air filter with intake mod.

Then cam the PML, step bar and mud flap removal:

Some flexing in the sand

Found that I want bigger and better tire. I went for the 2" BL, 15x8 Soft 8 rims and 33x12.5x15 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac

I added a AC idler arm brace somewhere before the BL...

Next plan:

- steering upgrade
- Bilstein 5100 all around
- Winch bumper and winch ( Shrock or ARB don't know yet... )
- Custom roof rack with lights
- Roof top tent
