Didn’t take any pictures of the process...
but I slapped some 1.5” wheel spacers on. This is what they look like with 255/85s and stock rims



I also plasti-dipped my wheels black. I still don’t super believe in plast-dip, and even just torquing my wheels scuffed it a bit :/. But it looks sweet for now and it’s easy to reverse, patch, or redo. We’ll see how long it stays.

Looks great! St. George? My dad's side of the family is all from Beaver. God's country.


Yes! I’m from St. George! My brother-in-law is from minersville and went to Highshool in Beaver.

It’s all a very beautiful area. Shame people don’t enjoy it more.

GDPearson's Xterras

So... we found a 2007 OR 5AT. It had 75,000 miles and a squeaky clean title. We talked the guy down to 8800. Aaaand now my wife has an Xterra too ;).

Same year and trim (except the stereo and transmissions). Hers has 75,000 mi, and mine has 182,000mi.


Here’s a picture of the day I bought mine- and two years later when we bought hers!




His and hers Xterras!!

Nice his and hers. Congrats!

St. George is an awesome place. I've stayed in town (usually down on St. George Blvd) on many trips headed to Zion, Bryce, Grand Staircase, North Rim and other parts of Southern Utah. The locals are friendly and there's an In-N-Out in Washington! :) Would love to have a place in St. George or maybe Hurricane someday.
