Here's how the alignment looked afterwards... We later eyeballed it and got it pretty close... Close enough to drive to the alignment shop down the road ;)

hey Casey, did you recrank the Tbars? you front end looks tall.

That should be happening tomorrow. If you see my back tires, they're on the grass and the front tires are on the concrete. There's about a 4-6 inch increase in ground level there and the angle of the picture as well...

Clever mindtricks ;)

Bad news... Took the X to get an alignment today and they told me they were not able to align the X until I replace the UCA bushings and lower ball joints :(

Which brings me to a question.. What bushings do I need to get to replace the ones I have. I have the AC UCAs. Will these work or would it be better to get some from an auto parts store? Thanks guys

I am surprised your your uca bushings are worn out already. I did my lower ball joints last year the week of nxm. go to an auto parts store and rent a kit to press those things out. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use it and press them out, but gobble it was easy once I figured it out. when putting them back in, it was easier to put the ball joints in and use the nut to pull it into place rather than press it in. The worst part about the whole thing is your going to have to pull the cv out from the hub. I had trouble finding the right size wrench to remove the nut from the lbj. I bought a socket and a wrench, but found it easier with the wrench.

Just so its listed here, the nut is a 1 7/8". About $25 from Lowes or Northern Tool for the socket

I can't figure out why they're bad so soon either... I really don't know what bushings to buy.. I can get them from AC but if they just lasted this long I don't know if I wanna try them again... Will the OEM ones for the Xterra work or is it different? It seems like I read some where it's different...

Thanks for that Muadeeb. Hopefully my grandpa will have that somewhere in his garage haha

Guys.. There still may be hope! Took it to a shop I trust much more and they said they didn't see anything wrong underneath there and said it's ready for an alignment. HOPEFULLY they'll be able to work me in sometime to get it aligned and I'll be ready to go!

Second opinions are almost always a good thing......(unless your like me and you keep getting opinions until you get one you like...lol).

Hope it works out!

Thanks guys! And yeah, second opinions are good. This place was my first choice but they weren't able to do my alignment until Friday which I thought was gonna be too late for the Windrock run. He said hopefully they can squeeze me in Thursday. This is the best shop in town, in my opinion. Good workers and just as good of people. We've known the owner as long as I can remember plus some haha. Hopfully it'll all work out!!

Little update..

Added a rear LED reverse light. It's a cheap one from Walmart but it doesn't pretty decent. Probably gonna pick up another one for the other side.

Also painted the cowl pieces (I guess that's what you call it haha). This was well overdue.
