Comments:
I traded in the 2005 S in August 2013 for a brand new 2013 Pro4X with manual transmission. I had heavily modded the '05 but was concerned about putting more money into it with its age. After weighing options for regearing, air lockers, etc - the money was better spent on a nice down payment for the new truck with the e-locker, 3.69 gears, manual tranny, creature comforts and newness! I brought over my Shrock front bumper, Chef Nate rear bumper, NXRocks skids, Gobi Stealth roof rack, Volant CAI, BullyDog tuner and Cobra 75XL CB plus added the NissTec suspension and Nitto Trail Grapplers to go big. I had hoped to not need to BL this truck and I got what I wished for. I barely fit in the garage (

I say a General Electric Mini Gun on the Gobi is a definite MUST! That will truly scare the batteries out of a prius.

Roadwarrior · Aug 25, 2013

I love that the first thing you did with this was to take it out and use it. Can't wait to see what happens next.

yellowx16 · Aug 25, 2013

x2 rarely see anyone with a brand new 4x4 use it for what it's meant for! the x looks great, really liking Prius plow 2!

Slasa · Aug 25, 2013

Thanks, guys! I didn't get a new one to be a grocery getter/ mall crawler. I got it for the locker, gears and manual tranny.
The guys at Boulder Nissan busted their butts to get everything done for me in time to make that run yesterday.
It had maybe 20 miles on the odometer when I left the house to wheel yesterday.

MadMike · Aug 25, 2013

Congrats on the new rig and bummed I couldn't come out to wheel with you guys yesteday.

That's too cool they the dealership made that happen for you. Love the new truck.

Macland · Aug 26, 2013

Freaking sweet man. Sliders will help you for fitting in the garage, I know I wouldn't without them.

Kokines · Aug 26, 2013

Thanks, man! Yes, I worked a deal with Boulder Nissan and they swapped my bumpers, skids and Gobi to the new truck and also installed the lift. I got to keep my goodies and roll out with a brand new truck!

Like the black light covers...stealthy/stylish!

Really nice build.

Xterrafauss · Aug 26, 2013

You sneaky little.......haha well done sir

I like the 2 just as much as the first

Jack Stilts · Aug 27, 2013

Dear sir:

I drove a Prius for the first time today as part of a study at work.

Please, do me a favor -

Plow them. Plow them all.

Thank you in advance,
Jack Stilts

Pro-2X · Aug 27, 2013

So is it now possible to win BOTM twice since it is 2 diff builds?

Roadwarrior · Aug 27, 2013

Kicking it back to my childhood, I think you gave your Xterra a Badass Stone, and it evolved.

/pokemon reference.

My 05 is sad to see yours go away, but happy to see a brand spanking new X be taken off road ASAP.

Hopefully, someone will pick my '05 up and join the fun!

Xterrafauss · Aug 27, 2013

I have an incredible amount of respect for you taking your brand new x on the trail so soon.

What do you have planned for this one?

Thank you! I didn't buy this one to be a mall crawler. I bought it to upgrade my gearing, locker, and general durability/longevity.

As for plans:
Immediately I am getting sliders (Hefty) and diff cover (Shrock) to finish off my protection.
Front/side window tint to match the back windows

Short/mid term:
I will put a snorkel on it.
Different leaf pack

Long term:
T-swap?
4.10 or 4.56 gearing?
T-case upgrade?
Accessories:
Roof top tent

All term:
Wheel it and destroy Priuseses!!!

Slas did you keep your 05 grill for the 13?

CrazySteve911 · Sep 1, 2013

Dont know if you've seen this yet, but you have competition sir.

MadMike · Sep 1, 2013

Now that is special. Looks like you'll have to make the Prius Plow taller to get that one.

Yes, I actually kept my '05 grill on my new X and they put the '13 grill and bumper on my '05.
The bucktooth doesn't work as well with the winch bumper.

Slasa · Sep 1, 2013

Sliders on!

Awesome X!

akinc · Sep 1, 2013

That's awesome they even let you switch the grill.

Slasa · Sep 1, 2013

Thank you all!
Do you ever look at your own name and think it is spelled wrong?

Xterraforce · Sep 2, 2013

I don't know what you're talking about. Suddenly I have a strange craving for chips though.

Jack Stilts · Sep 2, 2013

^ happens to me every time I see it. You're not alone.

Mmm, Tostidos...

NismoFire · Sep 2, 2013

Hey, did you swap your wheels, too??? Those look like the 05 OR wheels..

Those are 2013 Pro-4X wheels. They're the same. My '05 had ProComp 7089's on it.

Oooooh okay. I'm so used to seeing the silver/black OR/P4X wheels that the plain silver caught me off guard.

MadMike · Sep 3, 2013

I'm surprised you didn't keep the Pro Comps, but at least the Pro4x/OR wheels look better than the steelies or the S wheels.

Yeah, I wanted to keep them but I don't want to trim fenders, yet. Also, Boulder Nissan wanted them in the trade.
I was ok with the Pro-4X wheels - I strongly dislike the 5 spoke S wheels but that is a moot point.
