Alright so like some fan's suggested I am going to start a Picture thread of any adventures or shoots of the X I do! :) My other build thread will now focus more on mod's... I am going to start aiming to take more pics of each mod or upcoming thing that I do to my X in the old thread so don't worry that thread won't just be talk... :P Besides pic's in my threads make it like a pop-up book and everyone loves those! :D

So if that being said understand I have fast internet(fiberoptic) and I would like to apologize to anyone who has to sit and wait for the thread to load.

A few of my trails

Today I went over to Murray park and also over to a local high school and snapped some pics at sundown trying to learn how to get the right setting and metering in different light.... Sorry it's street pics but I think they look good! :D If you would like any of these in a bigger size just say so, I am always happy to provide background :P

what kinda camera do you use?

Nice!!!

SWEET...Coping my PIC thread eh! Joking

Yep! When I grow up I want to be just like you.

Thanks guys! I got a Nikon D5000, LOVE IT! Just need to get some different lenses and a tripod now!

Well i am 35 Big K

Sweet pix.. I shoot with a D-80
I did some the other night after a storm

Pictures look great! I was soo close to buying that camera, But my best friend has a Canon 30D and a bunch of lenses. I really like both cameras, but I was able to get a deal on the My Canon 40D and the ability to barrow lenses was a complete bonus. I need to get out there and take some hi quality fotos of my X, very excited for my go anywhere vehicle for those WOW factor photos.

Now if anyone can tell me what school this is you can win a prize!

I'm going to say Brighton High School...

Lol nicely done! Did you google the bengal's?

Doesnt matter how I did it....Just want to know what I won!!!! JK yea google mapped bengal country utah got that school and street viewed it to make sure it was correct. Also noticed the circular shape of the building in your pic and matched that up with sky view. Murray park wasnt to far away so I figure I had the correct answer.

awesome pics!

awesome pics,,, 7 down and the last one are my favorites... Red rover,,, good job on finding the school...

Holy cow I am impressed! Very nice! :D You win...........






A custom made desktop background of your rig! Made by yours truely! That is if you would like it... Just need to let me know and pic out a good pic of your X that I can use :D

Thanks again guys, glad everyone seems to like them so far! Yeah #7 I had a little fun with at first in photoshop it was easy to make sunlight look like an atomic bomb I was kind of half tempted to do that and maybe make the city looked all destroyed and on fire... I may just yet do that :P

Well I'll need a couple days to get back to you on that. I dont think I have any pics worth spending time on. So I'll have to go take a couple... I love Windows 7 for the fact that I got it for free and it also allows slide shows for your desktop background. Your pic will make a great edition. Thanks!!

No worries take your time :D Well today I put these pics into the right proportions for backgrounds and set them on shuffle it's pretty nice! I am really digging these pics :D

hey kuma what kind of rack is that? I've been looing for one thats a full rack and not just a basket...

It's a BajaRack, they are really nice and hecka lot cheaper then the Gobi! Plus having full roof space rather then just one little square is so nice, those Loadwarriors are overrated if you ask me. But whats nice is that most of the Loadwarrior stuff is useable with this rack. Website is http://www.bajarack.com/, they haven't gotten it up on their site yet but if you call them they can place an order and tell you price/shipping. I have talked to the owner sergio several times and he is a great guy!

great pics of a great truck!

Epic pics as usual, Looking awsome!! cant wait to see it in person in MOAB. Hopefully you will be able to snap a couple of pics of my truck also!!

Thanks Baf and Thank you Dragon! Of course I can! :D I was thinking maybe getting together whoever wants high quality pics of their rigs and doing a photoshoot evening. Maybe go wash and detail them then take the trucks to a scenic place for sunset and getting some good shots! Nothing beats a Moab sunset :P Of course I will be shooting the whole time we are on the trails so of course we will have dirty at your best pictures!

Sweet. I am all in!!I think i just drooled on my computer just thinking about MOAB. I am pretty stoked on this trip! How many times have you been there?

Hey Kuma... you have been way to quiet

very nice set up

Sorry guy's I have been going through some very difficult times, my girlfriend of 3 years dumped me and I just have been so depressed. We were suppose to go to goneMOAB together and then this, I don't have much of a desire for my x anymore and have been thinking seriously about selling it. Makes me sad but all my xterra is, is a memory of her and all the offroading/camping and trips we have done. I use to tell her when we got married it would be hers and that our little anberlin (future daughter) would be safe because the truck is bullet proof. It's been way hard to get motivated for anything these days :( Yes I am still planning to go to moab as I have paid for the condo and I am hoping it will be that something that gets me back on my feet.

sorry to hear about that dude, the longer youre with someone the harder it is when theyre gone, i know it sucks man, but hey, i like to believe that everything happens for a reason, keep ur head up dude, try to enjoy moab

dude that seriously blows, really sorry to hear that, I have to agree with MW Surfer, that the longer you're with someone the harder it is, and thing happen for a reason. But life is full of good times and hardships, its best to remember the good times and try not to dwell on the bad times. Good luck man things usually have a way of changing for the better. Have fun at moab I'm sure a few the other members will be there to help perk up your spirits.

Sorry to hear it dude. Moab will be a great pick me up to move on with life, trust me. I have a bottle or two (or 10) that may help out and make you relax. ;)

I will have some new pics up tomorrow when I upload some of my goneMOAB pics! And yes there is a little eye candy (not girls) but an X photoshoot I did one night when I was bored and all by myself.

Sounds like the goneMOAB trip helped... :) Glad to see your felling better bro.

KUMA KUMA KUMA KUMA.... It all works out man...:D
I bet Moab was a blast

When times get tough take a drive in the x . Always helps me through stuff hit on the freeway hittin 80-90 cleans a mans soul . But i ve heard lots about Moab ! looks hella sick, i need to go on a freakn wheeling trip its been to long.

kuma ive always been a fan of your X and your photography and i hope evrything works out for ya man!

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo200/KUMA-26/098.jpg

Damn that's a beautiful background.

Sorry to hear about what your gf did, look at this way, its HER loss, not yours.

Glad to hear the MOAB helped ya have a blast.

hey sorry to hear about your loss, when that happens to me i tell myself " LOVE PASSES TIME, TIME PASSES LOVE".

Thanks guys for all your concerns! I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will get back together but if not I mean you have to move on right?

Alright so on with the pictures! Here are some pics I took at goneMOAB while bored one night alone and decided to go do a little photoshoot w/ my X. Yes sorry they are large but i picked out just a few for you! I have plenty more! Link at the bottom

I will post up my trail runs from Fins N Things, Top of the World and Steel Bender later... Also have some cool pics from when my dad came down and I re-ran Fins N Things and Top of the World.

Kuma is that at Brighton High School?

Yes it is! How did you know?

Haha boredom at work and google search "salt lake city high school bengals!" I have too much time on my hands!

Good looking pix man!

Great pics!

Thanks guys! I got some more great pics but decided to make individual threads for each trail... So here is Top of the World http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?p=268138#post268138

I will also add this link to the front main page

Well guy's I may be putting Project KUMA up for sale soon! Anyone interested? =P May possibly purchase a yellow 2002, I am going more in a desert direction (tube bumpers, no lift, 31's and light weight!) or may purchase a car for a while.... We shall see, sadly the car is sound most ideal since I want to move out and get a place with my buddy and might want to take a little break from offroading as it seems to be not liking me much right now...

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Damn dude how much you selling her for?

I remember you talking about a desert runner idea when we were on Steel Bender. It'll be awesome to see what you come up with. Good luck!

Lol I knew I would get a couple of those... I am not sure yet on price it's still up in the air but I just finished waxing it and detailing today. I just don't know what to do!

http://thelasthonestman.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/vader-nooooo.jpg

Seriously bro, I know how you feel. I felt the same way when I started to put mine up for sale.

Try Craigslist first man, I sold mine in three weeks! First person that looked at it bought it!

Now for the next car, you're looking to get a 2nd gen ST, right? ;) haha!

Stevin your not helping...:pfeilimkopf-big:

I have to join in the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!,
On another note, if i had not bought mine, id be all over yours its freaking sick!

I like the idea of you starting a new Xterra though :D

Stevin your not helping...:pfeilimkopf-big:

Wha??!?! Wha?!?! What? I was tryin' to help him save cheaper by going to Craigslist! :mocking: :engel-big:

I saw Kuma on the freeway the other day. I have to say that pictures will never do justice to how sick your X looks in person. I had to do a double take.

Lol you guys... Sorry Stevin no ST for me, need more fuel economy! Astro when did you see me?

Well guy's I just finished painting the entire underside of the X and cleaning it up! I think I am just about ready to put it up for sale! I am going to put it up pretty high sales price about 10,500.00. And I am thinking Red Scion TC for now...

dang man ! i bought mine for 6300.00 ! good luck hope it all ends well buddy

Wow, high price!

Good luck with the sale and hope you stick around!

Meanwhile, why not make a FS thread on here?

:heul3-big:

Loveeee your X!

Great...just great! How are you going to take the TC off road... :D

Good luck big K!

Good point David!

Good luck dude.. that's a damn high price for a 2000. No disrespect, I just wanted to make sure you know that just because your mods are worth that, they will only make the price raise worth it to someone who will use them. But seriously, I hope you can pull a good price and that whoever buys it will treat it just like you did.

Post it in the classifieds and no one will be able to harass you like this :)

Kuma, It was an honor to meet you and see you X before the sale and I hope you eventually get back into a 4x4 (nissan ;) ) so we can meet on the trail again.

Good luck Bro!

I paid $2000 for my 2000.

But I wish you the best of luck. If you can get something around that range it wont cost you too bad to buy a new vehicle. But honestly.....if you end up selling the X for 6K and buy a scion for 16K....that 10K you spent is alot of gas in the X....but maybe your just looking for change.
