Gone Moab 2015 - The Drop on Steel Bender Trail

Top Less and on 35's

Just letting my dad drive as i am watching on Fins N' Things our last day in MOAB.

Dec 2015 wheeling Pillsbury

Bliss_X · Nov 10, 2012

nice rig!

X-2 · Nov 10, 2012

Nice x.

FYI, I have looked into the Icons and they don't carry a 2.5 external resi for our Xs, whether front or rear.

XterraTSP4 · Nov 11, 2012

Thanks, wasn't paying attention. I now see that the Icons are 2.5 but not ext resi lol Guess i will have to go with the new saw 2.5's with ext resi's

Juice · Nov 10, 2012

nice! how do you like your bullydog tuner?

XterraTSP4 · Nov 11, 2012

I like it a lot, it definitely makes a difference paired with my intake, throttle body spacer and exhaust. I will notice more once i can buy headers, intake manifold spacer and rear cat deletes. But i def recommend getting it.

B.A.M.F. Rock sliders finally installed with kickout and flat black rustoleum

XterraTSP4 · Feb 8, 2013

Currently the X is under the knife.....TITAN SWAP

ChrisHaynesUSA · Feb 8, 2013

Are you coming to the meet and greetn in san mateo?
Feb 23-24th( we are all going on the 23rd)

XterraTSP4 · Feb 9, 2013

I am going to try to. I havent posted anything in the thread that i was going to attend because idk if my X will be finished by then. Im doing all the work on the weekends starting tomorrow morning. Im going to try to attend tho if it's all finished.

Blain · Feb 9, 2013

Awesome X! The TOYO's will take you far! Love mine

XterraTSP4 · Feb 9, 2013

Thanks a lot. Yea i like them. They are just really heavy for a 285/75/16. The toyos havent let me down yet tho. Anywhere from mud, snow, ice or gripping the asphalt through turns lol I have thought about going a 33/12.5 nitto mud grappler or a 295/75/16(34") hankook m/t once my titan swap is finished.

XterraTSP4 · Feb 9, 2013

Alrite thank you!

XterraTSP4 · Mar 8, 2013

Purchased Sunny1881's hunter offroad custom front tube bumper w/ Engo 10k winch. Just took it to get sand blasted and line-x'd. I will post up pics once i get it back and installed.

XterraTSP4 · Mar 30, 2013

Titan swap installed, new wheels and tires installed, rear lift installed, and bumper installed.

Here is pics before the bumper was installed....Bumper pics tomorrow!

ChrisHaynesUSA · Mar 30, 2013

Nice!
I'll Caravan to Moab with you any time.
Zedman86 and I are talking about putting together a Rubicon trip.
we should talk.

Did you lock the rear end?

XterraTSP4 · Mar 31, 2013

Haha thanks and yes we should talk. I have a few buddys who have hit up Rubicon in their Yotas and Land cruisers. We could prob do a sweet summer trip!!

The rear end is not locked yet. I had some trouble with my extended axles in the front. So i actually do not have them installed at the moment so no 4wd. After i get my front axles sorted out, i will then start saving up for OBA, F&R air lockers, body lift, and a few performance mods. No money!! lol Due to TS and kitchen renovations.....

Nice rig, it's coming along quite fast
TS looks good!

Quick questions for you:
When did you get the SAWs? And when did you place your order? Did you get the Ext. Rez SAWs?
Posted via Mobile Device

Thank You very much. Its slowly coming along. I have had the X since Oct 2011 and the only mistakes that i have realized are that i should of titan swapped from the beginning and should have spent the extra couple thousand $'s for a manual Offroad Pro4X. I purchased my parts slowly a long time ago. Just took a long time to install. They are not Ex Resi...Internal Resi!

Nice rig. Never realized how far the titan swap brings the tires out good lord ! What you have to run 2"+ spacers in the rear now ?

Thanks. Its a struggle right now. I still need to adjust my heim steering and install the cam bolts. The steering wheel is slightly not centered lol and i want a little more camber once i get it aligned. The titan swap is i believe 2" wider per side plus i am running 9" wide wheels, 12.5" wide tires and 1.5" wheel spacers front and rear! I still need to trim the front fenders in the front. Hopefully its not raining tomorrow morning so i can do it. I need to sell the rear 1.5" spacers and install 2" spacers. You prob didn't notice the tires out because many people just run stock wheels with 285's.

Hunter Offroad Custom Tube bumper line-x'd:

Belcastro · Apr 2, 2013

This is the best rig on this site! Dude you got the goods right there.

XterraTSP4 · Apr 2, 2013

Thanks man. Its a slow process but it will get there. It needs OBA, lockers, gears, maybe 2" BL and 35's eventually.

Rooney · Apr 3, 2013

Man i love this rig the front Just looks down right evil between the tires and bumper and stance ....I'm jealous :headbang:

XterraTSP4 · Apr 3, 2013

Thanks. Im glad i made the choice to pull the trigger on getting the bumper rather than a rear locker. By taking off the stock bumper and installing this tube bumper, it chances the whole stance and look a lot i think.

krp8128 · Apr 3, 2013

Got any more pics of the sliders?

What "model" are they? For some reason I am finding the BAMF site a little confusing this morning.

XterraTSP4 · Apr 3, 2013

Yea I can take some pictures. Bay Area Metal Fabrication (BAMF) currently does not make sliders for the Xterra. What I did was I purchased the 2nd Generation Regular Cab Tacoma Sliders with kickout. I need to contact BAMF so I can return and have them measure the X because the front mount on both sides are very close to the body mounts. Let me know if u have anymore questions about them.

Mr_Scott · Apr 3, 2013

Looks great man! I think that is the best tube bumper I've seen on an X so far. Sliders look good as well, I might have to bite your style a bit on those

XterraTSP4 · Apr 3, 2013

I don't mind at all if u take the style. I had these on my Tacoma and I like the kickout because I use it as a step for my snow racks and helps push away from rocks and trees which is great! Yea I love the bumper. It's lighter than pretty much all aftermarket bumpers and I like the tube style even though I wish a company made a hybrid bumper like All-pro offroad makes for Tacomas. But o well I'm happy with it.

Xterra_Mayo · Apr 3, 2013

Why keep the 1.5" spacers on the front with the t-swap? The tswap already pushes the wheels out 3 inches on each side.

I mean I love the stance and I love my stance on my truck with rims and the swap. I actually even plan on going further out when I dump the titan swap and put a titan mid-travel kit up front with a 1 ton in the rear but I don't see your need to keep the spacers on up front.

XterraTSP4 · Apr 3, 2013

I like look of it with the 1.5" spacers up front. Also with these wheels to clear the brake caliper I need to use a spacer or I need to grind down the caliper so there isn't any rubbing. I would like to do a Titan mud-travel kit or SAS eventually once the X is paid off. I just like the wide stance also!

Hey, bumper looks nice, just so you know the tabs on that bumper are for a Totron 20" LED Light bar, you can buy and add that easily.

XterraTSP4 · May 8, 2013

Thanks sunny. Yea I looked at them already. I was going to buy one but I took the money and put it towards a rear locker and OBA. Lol
