Looks good as it stands right now :)

Have you done any mods (PML, BL, etc.) yet? Armor? You've got the BFG's and they are a good tire so (in my opinion) I would work on protecting it with some sliders and skids.

thanks for all the comments and yeah, i've done a PML, trimmed the crap outta my fender, put new bilstein hd 4x4 shocks on, no armor yet, unfortunately. looking at a bull bar maybe? something like that. any suggestion would be great lol. i'm looking to get some more lights and my pilot buddy is hooking me up with some 2MIL candle light power plane landing lights that fit right on the roof rack lol. best part is they're only 50 bucks a pair. lol. but anything you suggest will help make this thing even beastlier lol.

Hi, I was just wondering what size Bfgoodriches you have on there? They look sickk! My stock 265 70 16 's just aren't cutting it for me! lol
Also, did you trim a shitload off your lower bumper or was moderate?

The best bumpers and armor choice for the X, short of having custom fab work.

the tires are 285/70 17's and they're excellent lol. the only trimming i did was the front bumper's lip. but in order to actually fit them all the way i had to put new calamini shackles on and raise the torsion bars....after that they work great lol. and tjtj, if you want me to order some i could always get a money order or something and ship them to you but he told me wrong...they're 50 a piece :( but i think it's still worth it. wiring and everything...just PM me if you guys want some

sam2dapark

285 70 17's are equal to a 32.7 in tire! Im definately going to try and stuff at least 32's once I get shackles. My torsion bars are already cranked to level out the front and back.

hartmang
02-04-2010, 10:36 PM

there's a 2nd gen over on the newx (was talked about here too "last min mod day") he has that transformers style bumper on his rig and it looks sick...he ran into mounting issues tho...most of us on here have Shrockworks bumpers...they are freakin bulletproof...ask TJTJ he just posted his bumper to deer ratio list and so far the deer are 0 for 12 lol...sry Bambi...what other plans do you have for your rig if any...it looks bad a$$ the way it stands but if ur like me you will never be finished workin on it...lol

well i'm satisfied with the motor. my mechanic friend has gotten my engine up to about 460HP lol so i'm set with that and the height seems fine for the moment. i'd like to work more on cosmetics and armor. mainly some skid plates, bull bar, more lights, etc. lol. so yes, monsterbandit, i'll probably end up like you and never be done lol. but thanks for the complements

Hubba what!? 460HP?

hartmang
02-06-2010, 12:52 PM
yes sir. the man that does my engine work used to build drag racers from the engine up and took my engine and custom made a new pulley for my supercharger that added 110 HP and tweaked my timing and polished my throttle body and a whole list of things to get it up there(approximately that is). he's going with me to coal creek on the 20th by the way for those of you who may want some ideas? lol.

So hold on here, you're telling me that a supercharger pulley, adjusting your timing, and polishing your throttle body got you to more than double the stock horsepower?

Sorry I'm gonna have to call B.S. on that one.

Theres no way a stock internal 3.3 Nissan motor is making 400+ hp.

Maxdaswede
02-06-2010, 08:29 PM
Yeah that would be nice..... but from 210 to 460 you would have to do an engine swap.

hartmang
02-06-2010, 11:26 PM
sorry, i feel like a complete idiot. the entire time i thought i put 360. yeah, i wish i had that lol but it was just a huge typo. again, my apologies

hartmang
02-06-2010, 11:27 PM
and i don't even really know what all he has done to it but those are the specs he has given me. again, sorry for the misunderstanding

got a pic of the pulley?

not at the moment but i'll get one tomorrow when i have some light

hartmang
02-06-2010, 11:46 PM
and wait...210 is the stock HP on these motors?

drbandkgb
02-06-2010, 11:55 PM
on the SC yes

Maxdaswede
02-06-2010, 11:55 PM
No biggie dude that would be sweet if possible yeah ur sc engine has 210 stock. Thats pretty tight if he was able to get it up to 360. You should get it dynoed.
Go luck with the X!!!

Now u need to get some headers when they make some for the sc engines.

hartmang
02-07-2010, 08:50 PM
yeah i wish it was possible lol. and the reason i was asking about the stock HP is for some reason he has a book that says the stock is 220HP lol. but i didn't get a pic of the pulley yet, but yeah, i wish they would make headers for the SC.
