Intro Comments: Blakens' Prof_X Build Thread; I picked up Xterra in September 2017. I'd been looking at Xterra's for a while, but my single cab pick up truck was still running strong, so I couldn't justify it. The truck finally started to let me down last year, (fuel pump died, among other little issues), so I talked my wife into an X. "We're gonna need something with a back seat one day. :wink:" And so begins my slow build. I want to build it into a comfortable Overlanding Rig. My ultimate dream is to drive it up to Alaska one day, waaay in the future. But this is my first 4x4, so I've got a lot to learn between now and then. Side Note: I've since fixed the pick up to better than it's ever been since I've had it, and I'm about to sell it.
