Hey guys,

I'm new here and someone in the introductions requested a build thread so I guess here it goes!

Bought this off a home car salesman who probably got it at auction from a dealer in Long Island but turned out to be a one owner car. Probably took it on the sand fishing all the time. When I bought it the whole exhaust was non existent and most of the suspension parts were rust welded.

I really bought it for the body. Was in very good shape for a 2000 and it was GOLD!! Lol. I'm a diesel mechanic by trade so the labor on the mechanical side was nothing new to me. Lots of things needed to be done to make it road worthy though.

Year: 2000
Make: Nissan
Model: Xterra SE
Color: Ochre Metallic (GOLD)
Transmission: Auto (for the wife)


Stock Replacement Parts:

Oil Pan
Duralast Gold Battery
Upper front differential bushing
Front differential cleaned and repainted
Full exhaust, cat back
All exhaust hardware
Upper control arms
Lower control arms
Front shocks
Rear shocks
Lower control arm bushings (PITA!)
Front rotors
Front brake pads
Front ABS sensors
End links
Front sway bar bushings
Rear sway bar removal
Rear tire carrier removal
Side steps removal
Timing belt
Tensioner
Water pump
Valve cover gaskets
All fluids changed (except transmission)
Bearings cleaned and repacked
Probably forgetting other stuff....

Tire/Wheels/Suspension:

Stock wheels
Stock hubcaps(new)
BFG A/T KO2 33X10.5R15 (5)
Connor Towing Sleeve Receiver Lock for spare to tire carrier bumper
AC 2 inch rear shackles
Poor mans lift, torsion bar crank

RLC Welding front bumper

Lighting:

Stock headlights

Interior:

Pioneer MVH-690BS Head unit
Rockford Fosgate R165X3 6.5 inch speakers
Kenwood KFC-6965S 6x9 speakers
Noico 50 mil dynamat to full roof, all doors, quarterpanels and tailgate
Falling ceiling cloth stripped out and sprayed with tan bedliner
AntennaX 13 inch off road antenna

Recovery:

MAXSA traction boards
Hi-Lift jack (mounted to tire carrier)
Connor Towing Sleeve Receiver Lock for Hi-Lift jack to tire carrier
3/4 inch shackles
30,000 pound tow strap

Hope I didn't miss anything! Only had it about 8 months. Lots more planned obviously. Any comments, ideas or questions would be welcomed!!
