I've been following this from the beginning and must say this has been one of my favorite build threads.
What do you think of the tires, now that you've had them out a bit? They have made my short list and I'm looking for opinions

I say jump on the Geolandars if you can find them in stock! They are pretty quiet on the road. The only time I really heard them would be in tighter curves on the highway. I just did 1600 miles on them out to Moab and back. They still look new!

I need to do a picture dump from Moab but loading pictures on here can take its sweet time lol. Here is a link for the Xterra's Instagram page I made for it.

I would love to drive to Moab again, but unfortunately it is 4000 miles round trip for me.
I know your truck is lifted an everything, but could you comment on your highway gas mileage? I am curious about Audi coils making any improvement.

He is one of my best friends. I have known him since middle school. He called me up and asked if I wanted to join him in Moab for a few days.

Just found your thread and love it! Was looking at a 2” lift and this same wheels in matte bronze but wasn’t sure how they’d look on dark gray/black exterior. Solid choice!

Loved seeing that Honda CB100 in the garage too!

Which vendor did you get your aluminum extrusion from for the roof rack?

I changed out the crap bump stops. I ended up picking up a set from DuroBumps. They are meant for a 4Runner but the fit-up was perfect. Just had to drill out the stock hole to 10mm and add a nut.

Well, the steering rack took a dump on me 2 weeks ago. Was making a hell of a clunk out on the trail. I think a few things led up to it going bad. The main this was the right side lower control arm had the lower shock mount in the wrong location. This would cause the CV axle to hit the bottom of my coil. This would also hit when turning hard left. I ended up cutting the shock mount off and moving it forward 1/2" At the time of taking it all apart AGAIN... I added the new bump stops, a new steering rack, fixed the shock mount location, welded on 14mm washers to make the shock holes a true 14mm to stop and movement, and then added in PRG Delrin lower control arm donuts.

Where did you get the steering rack? I need one soon.

What an awesome build. Respect for all your skill.

Is it possible to tear down the interior for sound proofing in stages? Take the headliners/rear seats out.. it's my daily.

Haven’t posted I’m awhile, just been so slammed with work.
I did get out this weekend and enjoy a little trail therapy and camping.
