I've got a pretty good imagination but......lol.
Looking forward to seeing this come along.

Note to self - about time to start a build thread....

Don't be nervous...you have a large family of Xterra friends here to help :)

Review the PML How-To link in my signature...


Thanks Rob! I think the part I'm most nervous about is adjusting the torsion bars and possibly finding out that I might have to reindex, just hoping all that goes as smooth as it sounds...

Don't worry you won't have to re-index. Just make sure you leave the gap allowance between the rubber bumper stopper and upper control arm. Also do a wheel alignment, if not your tires will not last long. Next best thing you will find and that is removing your rear sway bar. It works against you when your in the trails. Once you have it off you will notice better traction in the rear. Keep the mods coming. Your truck is in good shape.

Thanks! I need to find some xterranation members here in Cincinnati - also need to get my feet wet on some newbie trails :) I'm convincing the wife that it would be fun to go to NXM (do they still call it that?) this year!

No, they don't do "nXm" anymore. It's WENT Windrock now!! Same group, different name.

Executed the PML today! Although I don't think I got a full 1.5" out of the front I think I got about 1" or so.

I'll post pics tomorrow! :)

Looks good!

I'll be heading down to WENT from Michigan, straight down 75. I'll get in touch with you closer to that week if you'd like to cruise together.
