That is one hellova X!
Great lookin Rig
Nice!

Our X's could be brothers (same rockers only in red, same stickers, same "Rev Mod") Now I just need the light bar and you should get some firestone Destination MT's. :)
HA HA HA...yes....im actualyl thinking Pro Comp Xtreme AT's...ever since LA RANA recommended them...I've been drooling over those...i think they would look great on my rig, have awesome reviews, and would be decent for all of the highway driving I do.....but yes.....we have a very similar build going...what can I say....I'm an LED Junkie....but definitley not the only one on this site...cough cough* you all know who you are ;)
Very nice, how do you like the infinity bass link? I've been looking at them online since they can be mounted out of the way.
The basslink is great.... It offers really clear powerful lows. Sitting the way it is sounds great inside the X and coupled with 4 Infinity Kappas and an enternal 4ch Pioneer amp, (I know these arent the best... But it was free), it sounds amazing. It won't hit the hardest on the block.... But it can be LOUD if you want it to be and the main thing, for me at least, is my system has crystal clear and incredibly vibrant sound. :) I mounted the Basslink on a piece of wood because I'm lazy and didn't feel like drilling into the back of my Xterra. I screwed a smaller piece of wood to the bottom of that the fits directly into the tracks in the back of the cargo area so the sub won't move. On the bottom of the smaller piece of wood I also put rubber padding so the whole setup doesn't move around or vibrate. I know its a little ghetto.... But it works well... And I can remove the basslink in about 1 min... On large camping trips and when I'm trucking 3 or 4 of my buddies and their snowboards up to the mountain... (which was my goal in building this thing) ...All in all.... I've had this thing for 4 years, (I had it in my old XJ too), it's held up though a Metric SH!T ton of abuse, and I highly recommend it...

Here is a picture with the mounting shown:

Just ordered some PRG adjustable Shackles to give myself another inch of lift...woot!
X is looking good! How do you manage to keep the engine so clean looking?
You wouldn't believe me if i told you...haha...dish detergent, a bucket of water, and a toothbrush!
Exhaust Pictures have been added...just found them on my blackberry from like a month ago.. ;)

Nice! Well if it works, it works. Mine looks like a dried up lake bed in the desert!

Night wheeling this weekend....



So yeah my GF and I found this creepy shack in the middle of the woods on Friday this weekend... And we came back Saturday too..... And traps and signs made of dead animal bones were placed everywhere.... Obviously our presence was known on Friday and not appreciated.... Whoever lived there probably thought they were being abducted..... :p

Super CREEPY!

Well when we came back the second day we found a bunch of bones of an animal scattered about the trail.....it was from something like a medium sized dog or a small deer strewn all over the trail.. A fishing line was tied to a tree on either side of the trail and in the middle of the trail i found a bone staking a fishing line into the ground. The line made a "V". Im not sure what this person (creature...lol) was trying to catch...but they did a nice job to freaking out my GF and I. On the right side of the trail there was a bunch of larger bones stuck into the ground.....but we never saw the skull of this so-called animal skeleton...otherwise I'd have an idea of what we were dealing with....


I'm debating going back and taking pictures of the boneyard we came upon....haha...but i think ill take someone (big) with me...and not my GF....maybe another truck for that matter....
"You got a purdy mouth" hahaha

That is weird!
Just ordered some DT headers...but sent them to the wrong address (thanks to *aypal).....working with [email protected] to fix it......DOH! *smacks head*


Edit: Its been fixed...Nick is a great guy to work with!.....WOOT!
Just ordered 285/75/16R Definity Dakota M/T's...great price (3 for 1), great reviews, great warranty and great lookin. Can't complain!

Sorry Rev, I didn't go with the firestones....no siping and more expensive...(and i've spent way to much on the X as of late...)

Decided to go MT because im sick of spinning in mud all the time.....Dirty Jerz is muddy!
dakota's installed, list updated, headers recieved, and nx rocks sliders ordered....better get some more bedliner :/
