After all of that is said and done I'm planning to repaint my truck. I'd really like a nice black satin all over, black out the head and taillights a little, too. I was so insistent on having a Yellow Xterra but now that I'm doing stuff to it and fixing it up, I see a yellow Xterra and I want to paint it black. Other colors I'm considering include FDE and OD green. Really liking the OD green idea.

PHOTOS

Surely y'all have seen a stock X before, but here's mine.

Now that I see this, I remember that I want 16" wiper blades. Anyway, did not think I'd see another Xterra in Germany, much less a yellow one

Woah, you are in Germany? How did you get an Xterra over there? I'd be afraid of paying for that gas hog haha. Exciting!

I was in Germany! Not anymore, I'm stateside. They don't have them over there as you might know. I used to get stopped somewhat often by the locals to ask me what it was. On the boat ride my truck took back to the states, the full size SUV behind it got loose and rammed into the back of it during some turbulent waters. I heard it was pretty badly damaged, but they never sent me photos of the other SUV (they don't understand I need bragging rights).

You might not be able to see it in the photos, but my bumper was pretty rusty. I was so excited it got replaced for free by the shipping company lol.

Recently had the X rewired and had new headlights put in.

Surprised Nissan Xterra face!

Close up of my freckled boy lmao. If I didn't have plans to fix all those rust spots, I could call him Freckled Lemonade.

I am hoping the new bumper comes in soon, hence leaving the X with its face popped off. 😯

Put a downpayment on my Maxterra bumper just now. 😏
Also the Nismo bumper did not come in time. I left the state and will have to come back for it haha.

My rain guard got messed up in a car wash last year and I finally tackled taking it off with a 3M Eraser Wheel. I wanted to see if I liked the look better with it off or on so I only did one side. Like it better with. I'm leaving them off on that one side until I paint it and then replacing them all. Or! The other ones will get fucked up in the carwash too and then I will remove them.

Picking up some goo gone soon to finish the job. I also ordered some flag decals for my back side windows! Very excited to install those.

Put these on today. Love 'em. The driver's side adds 10HP but the passenger side adds 27HP for facing correctly and not retreating. I didn't make the rules.

Put up a ceiling net from the Net Lady on Etsy, and a patch I bought on April Fools came today.

I like that decal. Mind if I ask where did you buy it from?

Thank you! I bought them here.

A few small add ons

that curvature you're seeing on my hood is a custom ski slope for ants

Haven't replaced the spring yet, but I did replace the 12" rear wiper with a 16" one. Also cancelled the nismo bumper. I ain't even like it no more. If I had ordered a HF or SW, they'd have been here by now 🙃 (I did wind up ordering the tall hoop HF just now.)

I also have a few bottle caps hidden throughout the X. I'm not going to tell you where.
