    Default FlyingWen's Xterra

    I thought it was finally time I start a thread on my new rig:
    2000 XE 3-pack (all of the options available), 4x4, automatic transmission. 58K Miles





    • Shrockworks front winch bumper
    • Sliders
    • Full set skid-row skids
    • UB-skidderz rear shock mounts
    • Bilstein shocks
    • Extra rear leaf from leaf spring shop
    • Sway away torsion bars
    • Heavy duty tie rod adjusters
    • Calmini idler arm brace
    • K&N FIPK
    • Calmini exhaust
    • In-cabin microfilter
    • Nissan all-season rubber floor mats
    • New 31x10.50 BFG AT tires
    • Wet Okole neoprene seat covers (front and back)
    • Rear cargo cover
    Lev O Gauge


    Currently waiting on my Smittybilt XRC-8 winch to be delivered (due in on the Sept 15th)


    Next on the list will be a set of LightForce 170's within the next few weeks.

    I am originally from Tennessee , so the mod I am truly exited about is the installation on a Dixie Horn... Yep the Dukes of Hazzard horn

    Can we say Yee Haw???

    Ha ha ha! About time you start this thread!



    You forgot about our discussion in the X the other day.... IIRC it went like this:

    FlyingWen: "Honey?"
    FlyingWil: "yeah?"
    FlyingWen: "I have been thinking and..."
    FlyingWil: "yeah?"
    FlyingWen: "I think I want to get a synthetic winch line to reduce the weight up front"
    FlyingWil: "What!?"

    All this from the one who said I was "ruining" my truck with my mods... I am glad to know you have the fever too! I think I am just as excited to get the winch as you are.

    So when does the Eezi-Awn go on?

    You want to do the Fridge like we discussed? For the non Xterra owners the X has a outlet in the cargo area perfect for a Fridge.

    Rock n roll, darlin'. Rock n roll. What a perfect machine. This thing can wipe it's but with Wil's over-built, standard issue white Taco.

    But we're in a race to see who gets the cheap chinese smitty winch installed first.



    Oh yeah.... YEE HAW!

    White is still better than Red or Black. Denim Blue rocks!
