Steeze did it with his first gen but made it kinda like a mini truck bed

 

Yeah I could care less to be honest lol. I think it looked sick on his. I just started a Suzuki Samuria project today, its my buddy's but our project, and it just made me want to do it, it'll make it easier to cage it too. Plus it'll be actually unpredictable and different for once in the X community

 

Good luck to yeah man, should be a cool project. I would find a more water proof solution than canvas tho.

 

I'd see if I can buy one from a Jeep dealer or something. I got time and a ton of sheet before I get started on this

 

Nice! will you be able to put the hatch back on or will be it gone for good?

 

"actually unpredictable" bad ass!

 

Door would be gone for good, so it'll look like a overweight, shorter quad cab frontier. I actually might wait until after winter because canvas and cover companies jack up their prices before snow season

 

My buddy had a K5 blazer back in the day. He ditched the hard top and got a canvas safari style top. It was sweet. Rolled up on the sides or completely came off. It sealed pretty good.

 

I'm just trying to picture how this will look in my mind. I think it would be cool if you had the cover (whatever you end up using) slant straight back from the top down to the back. Maybe not to the bumper, I guess you'd have to leave some along the back but basically I'm thinking of like the Humvee type look.

A little bit like this. Obviously it wont like quite the same lol but I thought the idea was cool. Either way, I'm curious to see how this all turns out, I'll never do it lol, but I'd like to see it done.

 

sub'd for the awesomeness that ensues.

 

Not to be a naysayer, but your Xterra isn't all that modified. Why would you do all that and totally ruin any chance of resale when Nissan already makes what you want. You even said it yourself. Get a crew cab Frontier with the short bed. You buy canvas toppers for them already.

That is what I would do.

 

Dude my X isn't a typical grocery getter, it has 156k on it. I wheel it at least 5 times a week, carpeting is gone and its plugged. I don't post the things diary on here man. Not to sound cocky, but I do things my way with my X, I don't follow the typical Xterra trends, and things get done right. I'm 18 and off roading is my lifestyle. It'll get done don't worry about that

 

I'm 18 and off roading is my lifestyle.

It all makes sense now.

 

Very nice!!^^ That is mostly why I'm anti shrock.

 

^ lol

 

Sounds cool. I like how those in bed tire carriers too. Not sure if that would work for your plan but they look bad ass.

 

I mean dude, you don't start to build a 4 wheeler and worry about resale. I bought it 7 grand with no.tranny and put it in, it was a long hard process but it runs. Don't give me your discouragement when I'm out in the woods when you're in your driveway

 

Tell us about that hardcore New Jersey wheeling that you do. I bet you blast through that mud and impress your friends.

 

I've got no reason to try and stand up for him and I'm sure he can do it his self. But really? You guys are gonna crack on him for being 18 and motivated? I'm sure he posted this on opinions on how to go about doin it. Not for ass hole comments.

 

People use their rigs for different stuff buddy. No need to give someone a hard time for not chopping their rig. How much you go offroad doesn't really put you higher up in some hierarchy. No need to get all fired up when someone suggest an alternate solution.

 

Actually I would say Espo started it buy saying his truck isn't modified so why bother. I would be pissed as well.

 

I didn't say it wasn't modified, I said it wasn't modified that much. Basically his parts would mostly all bolt onto a Frontier as easily as they bolt onto an Xterra, and he basically wants to turn his Xterra into a 4 door truck with a bed. More power to him for being motivated and wheeling and all that stuff. Sometimes people have other opinions, and that is what forums are for, hearing opinions and ideas. Nissan already makes the truck he wants. And his mods will bolt right to it.

Go ahead, chop up your X. What do I care?

 

True. No need for it on either end. Whatever lol I'm out

 

I'm sorry, I'm done also. His cocky response set off my sarcastic side.

 

I just want something different in the Xterra world. My truck was permanently mine since the day I.brought it home from the yard. I just hate the idea of pretty boy rigs. Its a jersey thing, all the people from here wheel their X's and use them for the very reason behind the vehicle. People lift their stuff and are afraid to scratch their winch bumper. That's why its called a rig, and its your own. Offroading is a one team environment.

But ATL man don't go their, follow me through wharton and you'd be crying from your nerves.

I bought my ride, and rig it to my liking

 

What exactly is a "pretty boy rig"?

 

:rofl:

 

Dude just drop it I have no intentions to argue. you just talk sh** cause you're bored. delete this thread I'm sorry I offended the conservatives, at nxm don't try and be my bud

 

I was just laughing because you seemed to be getting fired up about it. Calm down, we were just giving you a little ribbing. Its all in good fun.

Settle down champ. Chopping an Xterra is a pretty sweet mod, and when done right is a thing of beauty. Take a look at a couple of the trucks that have been done and put research into it. Being young and motivated is great, I built a couple sweet rigs before I turned 21, and you will deal with naysayers saying you are too young to know or what not, but buck-up and thicken your skin, it's all joking around. Speaking of which, I came from Minnesota, not necessarily known for wheeling however, there was a considerable amount, and I'm sure NJ is similar, but I doubt much in Jersey matches this pucker factor...

Red cone isn't that hard, but yeah the pucker factor is way up there. It was fairly easy in my Rubicon, but it has a 73:1 crawl ratio. I'd do it in the X, but it might get a little bit scary. :hah:
