Got the idler arm brace on.

Since last post I got my sliders,bedlined and installed them.
Also 1.5" wheel spacers on the rear.












Started install of Lokka front locker. Got it out and did the feeler gauge thing,no go.
Had to order thicker thrust spacers to get it in spec.











So now I'm just waiting,Ivan's not happy.

Those sliders look really nice. Interested to hear your thoughts on the Lokka.

Lokka is in and it rocks.
I have a spot I go to with a big mound,about 60 yards long and 15/20 yards wide.
Six hill climbs on it of various lengths,heights and difficulties.
Four of them I could do before the Lokka with enough skinny pedal. Of the other two one I tried a couple time but couldn't make it,the last one I wouldn't try at all,almost vertical.
Now I can do them all relatively easy. Never even used 4lo.
Best mod so far.

And tracking on my skid plates says they'll be here tomorrow.

Cool stuff on the Lokka! If I knew it handled well in snowy conditions I'd consider it. I've heard both ways there.

Off road goodness on the porch when I got home from work.

Told my wife that you named your Xterra Ivan the Exterrable. She had a good laugh out of that one and complimented your creativity.

Nice X.

Well made my new shackles today.
These will give me 2.375 of lift in back.
