Just found out about this site!
I was into early Broncos in college, I had a 68, 71 and a 74. After starting a family and realizing that wasn't a practical or safe vehicle, I put my wheeling on hold. The itch came back and I looked for a body on frame SUV with air bags, 4 doors and manual transmission, and most importantly, not a Jeep, and the Xterra was the only option.
I started with a 02 SC and picked up and 03 with 3" body lift, 33" tires, Nismo shocks, Warn hubs, Shrockworks sliders and plans for more!
