Shane in Utah, on my second 2003 X. I bought my first new in 2003 and had it till 2006, and bought another 2003 last month. Been trolling a bit and reading and searching.
My first X was my wifes year round grocery getter. We did a family trip to Moab in it, documented in the Utah Xterra forums.
Still have a good video up here: Video of Poison Spider Mesa - Waterfall (http://www.lawrencefamilyalbum.com/other/Poison_Spider_Mesa_Waterfall_small.wmv)
If you dont want to download, its actually embeded in my homepage at http://www.lawrencefamilyalbum.com. Anyway, we traded it for a lifted suburban becasue we went from 0 kids to 3 in a year. I regretted every moment of it. Last month I picked up a 2003 in really REALLY great condition, 90K miles. This weekend I got decent tires for it, and pulled the stock pontoon siderails.
This week, I plan to:
Get and Install some offroad and fog lights.
At least find and order a disconectable rear sway. (Calmini looks good)
Do the one-hour DIY intake writeup on these forums, with a K&N drop in.
Then settle down for a long winter.
Before spring Moab trips I plan on:
3" suspention lift
sliders
31" wheels and tires.
Thanks allready for providing a great site full of usefull information. Ill leave you with some eyecandy, Pics from a trip yesterday:
