Ordered a sheet load of goodies for the X over the past week.
Shrockworks front & rear bumpers and sliders.
Calmini t-bars, tie-rod adjusters, rear swaybar disconnects, Gas tank skid, AAL kit and shackles.
Uniden CB and associated goodies.
Antenna Specialists XM antenna.
Nissan fan belts and clutch (While the tranny was getting fixed under warranty, might as well).
I'm pushing things a bit moneywise but it's cheaper than a trailside breakdown. Who said hobbies where cheap?!
At least I'll be reusing the locker, winch, shocks, a-arms, fog lights and other skids. Nice chunk of $ right there.

Jim,
Yours and mine. I decided not to clothe and feed the kids, shot the dog, and ate the tropical fish.
Congrats on all the new toys.

The mods have begun!
Low profile XM antenna (better looking and higher gain than Terk stuff)

Calmini rear sway bar discons and gas tank skid.

Can't wait to start the lift and add the rest of the skids!

Nope, The X won't be anywhere near done. I do plan on making it to XFF and the Florida Rd run.
I need to save the $ and spend some time getting the X ready to wheel and the Frontier ready to sell.

Oh, I ordered a TJM snorkel tonight. I couldn't help myself. Should be the last mod other than an SAS (not happening anytime soon).

Jim,
Truck looks great. Congrats on the TJM snorkel snorkel is great and fits easier that the ARB, both work great. Now you need a Volant air filter to attach to it. If you need any help, I've done it twice. Now I need one for the Blue X.

Scott, Does the snorkel kit come with everything I need or do I have to make a trip to Home Depot?
Micah, I think it looks pretty good with it off. Plus there is less wind noise. I am thinking of taking the whole rack off. Not sure what to do with the holes that will be left afterward though.

Jim the truck is looking good. Where did you get that low profile XM antenna. I have the Roady 2 and I hate the look of the wire on the roof. It looks sloppy.

there is a yellow 2WD Plain Jane X I see in Rome a lot that doesn't have the rack on top and it makes the X look kind of naked.I was thinking of replacing my wind fairing/basket thing with a bar of lights.
