Finally found a local trail to test out the new X! I am a beginner to 4x4 and Xterras... I am very pleased with the way it handled the terrain that looked pretty intimidating to me :cyclopsani:
Sure am glad the xterras are as skinny as they are for the entrance to this place in So Cal
Here are some pics:
Tire was off the ground a little bit on that last one... EXCITING!!! (until i saw the crazy shit the rest of you post here :cheers: )
Getting up onto that rock bent my rear mud flap so I removed all four after the trip.
I have more pics put didn't want to take up too much space... How do i create a link to my photobucket account?? Is it the same address as when i look at it when i am logged in?
Thats a bummer the mud flap caused body damage!!! FRUSTRATING... Luckily mine was weak and bent in half
Looks good man. Yeah, the first time you go out, everything looks ALOT worse than it is. When I first got the X I looked at stuff and went, I'll never make it. Now I look at the same stuff and go...I could probably make that in a car.
Yep, mud flaps, step rails and rear swaybar should all come off.
I bet that back tire would have stayed on the ground with the rear swaybar off.
I broke both my rear flaps off the first time I took the X wheeling and that was on just an old (early 1900's) unmaintained township road.
The step rails will bend all up if you hit them with rocks. So it would be smarts to taken them off now while they are in good shape, sell them and buy some Shrock Sliders.
While you've just made the point... Are any other changes needed when removing the rear swaybar? Also, how much on-road agility do you lose?

Just a question to you and eveyone else...
Does you right leg still shake when you hit
harder areas of the trail. Special when you start on the
more difficult trails? You should remove the rear swaybar,
it's real easy possibly the front to... nice pic's by the way.

nerves may be shot... :blackeye: Too many time in
the ring maybe...
