I've been lurking around this forum for about two years and became a member about a year ago after I finally bought my own xterra. I figure it's time to start my own build thread, as the mod monster is nipping at me!
Year: 2000
Trim: XE (as far as I know)
Name: Roxanne
I bought Roxanne in December of 2017 with 155,752 miles. I am the third or fourth owner, I can't remember which. She is my first vehicle!
Probably a week after I got her:
I didn't do much to her for a while, I ended up getting a Raingler ceiling net, which now holds a poncho, hoodie, towels, and paper towels.
This was from my first time offroading:
In June 2018, I wrecked coming home from work late at night. My air bags didn't deploy; the light had been on since I bought her. I can't say the same for the Rogue I hit (take that Xterra replacer), it was totalled.
The damage, the day after:
Since I had only liability, my dad and I fixed her up ourselves, with the exception of frame straightening. It took several months to get it all together on weekends and what not. I lost a bunch of progress pictures, I have no idea what happened to them.
My dad welded on a new radiator support in the rain:
This moved up the schedule on my buying a bumper...
Finished!
She still isn't painted, and there is a clunking noise presumably under the dash that we haven't gotten around to fixing yet, but she looks good and runs regardless.
