I have spent some time here now and figured its time for the build thread. I'll have lots of pics and links to my mods/diy/installs in here. We all like pics right?
Steeltow at Birth
2006 xterra x model 6-speed manual 2wd
Paid $13K August 2008 (3K below KBB at the time)
39,652 miles (supposedly 1 owner)
Came with what you see in the pic below, BG, step rails, what you don't see, base stereo :(, no tie down hooks in the back, no fog lights
had to do a lot of haggling and dealing with a bunch of stealership BS before it was delivered to me in a satisfactory way, e.g. no spare, re-tagged it when i did a transfer, ough.. the list goes on..
Stealtow Mod List (links are to my CX build threads)
Curt Hitch Install + Factory Wiring Harness (http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8854)
Rhino Floor Mats (http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8830) (not the rhino your thinking of)
Volant Cold Air Intake CAI (http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9510) w Donaldson POWERCORE Filter + horn relocation + DIY ram air + throttle coolant bypass
superchips flashpaq (http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9929) currently running the 91 performance tune
Stealtow to-do-list (more like wanna be list)
Improve electrical (Optima BlueTop, possibly alternator too)
full exhaust including headers I can find
suspension (maybe 0-2" of lift but more important is street handling and help from tow/cargo squat)
wheels and tires
cargo hooks for the sliders in the hatch
might make the move to sliders to feel more secure about curb hopping (ya know there are a ton of medians here in FL! lol)
double din touch screen head unit
full stereo upgrade with probably all cadence, I like the stealth box from JL, maybe make my own though
Here is what beaconed me to her, not to meantion its a 6-speed standard (good luck finding anything standard in FL) The stealership's name has been censored because they suck. Wanted to buy from an individual, but had to take this beauty
