Howdy guys... It's been a little while since the time I registered and the date I came up with this thread. I have a little but to uncover with you.
I have a 2002 xterra xe 2wd that I purchased a little hastily in summer of 13. This silver beauty spent it's life in Charlotte NC for the first 11 years of its life, only accruing 82,000 miles with the middle aged lady who got rid of it only because the headliner was coming down.
So I bought her, took her home. Washed and waxed her, shined the tires and spent the next few months as a typical Greenville NC xterra driver, fully stock and pavement only. (picture A)
Then I came across Xterra Off-Road on Facebook and was pointed to club xterra where I fell in love with the beastie build threads and the mod bug hit.
Did the usual; steps, mudflaps, reso delete. Then I ripped out the headliner and painted it gray. Added Calmini shackles and finished out the pml. Picture B
Then the college kid blues hit and realized I couldn't mod any further. A year later after going to Uwharrie with some buddies, and sucking it up really bad, I decided to go get more money.
In between then and now, I've added Kenda Klever MT's (picture c and d) and flexed 2wd muscle at Uwharrie with NOAS and scrambled up the backside of Daniel Trail. I've purchased various upgrades, like 4wd conversion parts, a lokka, 3" suspension lift with AC UCA'S, a snorkel, and sliders! So the next month and a half is going to be super exciting!
