Just to head questions about the lights, the KC 26 series lights on this bar are borrowed, that is the only reason they are red and not clear.
There is room for as many as five lights (recommend just two and perhaps one more amber light in the center) and there is no interference with Gobi Ladders.
If you do have a Gobi Ladder then I suggest putting all your lights to the driver side of the car.
Images of Xoskel Rear Lo Pro Lightbar installed with Gobi Ladder to come.
If you have any questions email me at info@xoskel.com and for sales sales@xoskel.com

so how long before we get the one for the 1st gen?????

Soon, Jason.....patience is our friend!

Meanwhile I'm gonna hunt around for Amber LED light for the middle.

its not like i have the money right now or anything i just like the support we are getting for the X.. LOL

Soon I hope, so many things to develop.
I really wish I owned a first gen, I had hoped to buy one earlier this year but congress cut the first time home buyer tax credit in half and my dreams of owning one died.
There was hope in releasing the first gen light cage, but I have not been able to test fit on the earliest style roof rack.
This is the roof rack I am unsure of as yet.

The other style fit is good as that is the style it was developed off of.

if you were closer i would let you use my 00 to test fit everything.. LOL

Here is the Xoskel Rear Lo Pro Lightbar with ff75 lights that are lower then the KC 26 series and a gobi ladder.
The KC 26 series are ideal for this light bar, the ff75's not so much.
This is AZ-Ted's Xterra.

The KC 26 series light would shine over the gobi ladder or you could put three lights on the driver side of the bar so that any light blockage from the ladder is minimized.

it still looks good.. LOL

looks pretty and shinny...stop tempting me to buy things lol...john i may hit you up for one of those soon

I am no scientist, but so far in preliminary tests, chicks dig Xterra owners with Rear Lo Pro Lightbars.

LMAO...not if ur my wife...she thinks with all the work i've done to my X that i killed it...but i keep reminding her..."its my truck woman!!"

im sure theres a 1st gen owner in phoenix that would let you use their x to test fit, and if there isnt, just bring the light cage with you when you go grocery shopping and *ahem* borrow an x you see in a parking lot :)

Well said, sir.

I noticed you mentioned putting amber light in the middle of your X....just out of curiosity - Amber fog/driving light? Or Amber LED running light (like BAJA type)?

Some of the Cali guys use an amber light for dust - not sure what type of bulb, though.

For me, I intend to have two white, and two red fogs (the KC 26 series from John's pictures).

Ok I'm kinda new to the colored lights....Amber Dust? Is that the similar setup that those BAJA trucks run on the back of the trucks like LED version?

Red Fogs - What's the benefits of running those?

Not sure what the red is for.

I got mine just the other day. I'm looking for lights now; either going with KC 26 Series or some Hella variant (FF75, FF50, Micro DE...). The light bar looks great, fangers. Top notch quality. I'll get pics posted once I have them mounted.

can you run the ground straight to the bar? i read somewhere that the roof rack bolts are grounded, so the bar should be too then, correct?

The bar is powder coated, I would not rely on it as a source for ground.
