My friend you are correct. Unfortunately that was only if your xterra included the towing package which mine did not, I got the hitch from a junk yard

Thats exactly what I was thinking. If I can't find someplace that sells them or anyone with them in a couple of days I'll just make my own. But I definitely need them before I put my bumper on there

This might be a newbie question but....why do you need frame stiffeners to put your bumper on? What kind of bumper?

On older xterras('00-'04) the rear frame horns are c channels. They can be bent more easily because of that fact they're not boxed. The frame stiffeners slide inside to make it more rigid. I'm building a rear bumper with tire carrier which is alot more weight on those horns than intended. Some people say you don't need them, it's more of a precaution thing

I'm not sure how much yet cuz I haven't purchased steel yet. But I think in the $300-400 range. Once it's completed I'll give you a more accurate number

I do have a drawing. I used to have a program on my computer to do it all 3D but the license expired so I free handed it. I'll try to scan it to my computer sunday

Why not just have a metal shop or friend make them. It's really a pretty simple design. ;)
