Location: Ashburnham, MA
Year: 2005
Make: Nissan
Model: Xterra
Trim: "S"
Color: Silver Lightning
Transmission: Auto 4x4

This is my X that I bought used back in July '08. Bought it with roughly 33k miles. I knew when I bought it that I wanted to make changes to it, so the mods are coming....but slowly.

UPDATE: Jan 2011: So long story short, the good old X is retired and traded in. I was one of the many second gens which had radiator problems which in turn wreaked havoc on my transmission. With those issues, were a few more costly fixes that got the best of the truck. I retired her and picked up a 2011 Pro-4x. The loss was tough, but I got through it. New "My X" page coming soon

EXTERIOR:
-Removed Mud Flaps
-Factory Window Guards
-14" Murano rear wiper
-Factory Fog light install
-Hella 500FF fogs mounted on grille w/100w bulbs
-Stealthed rear bumper and step, side steps, side molding, front emblem
-Raingler roof rack handles
-Hood bug guard


INTERIOR:
-Mag light
-Coverking front neosupreme seat covers
-Factory Xterra rubber floor mats
-MaxiTrip

TIRES/WHEELS/SUSPENSION:
-Stealthed stock 16" "S" steel rims
-265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer ATR
-550lb helper leaf spring

ENGINE/PERFORMANCE
K&N air filter
Mobil 1 Synthetic oil

OTHER:
-Remote starter
-175lb rear hatch struts
-Thule T2 hitch bike rack
-Thule ski/snowboard racks
-Yakima Skybox cargo box

FUTURE PLANS:
-PRG Deaver AALs

-Have parts, waiting to install Daystar 2" spacers and AC shackles

nice looking truck! def come out sometime on a trail! I would suggest getting a set of Shrockworks skid plates to start so you can go on some trails without damage, then some rock sliders...

I like the look of a Silver X more and More every time I see one.

Nice look on the Stealth wheels and Hella 5s up front

Thanks guys! I am real happy with how the wheels came out, and Ive gotten a few good comments already around town on it. Now, once summer comes and I get some money, Im thinking a PRG basic lift then hopefully tires before winter.

That basic lift should be fine, depending on what you want to accomplish. Keep in mind, with the front spacers, you may have some coil bucket contact, which is common.
