hi i was just wondering if theres a difference between 2wd and 4wd shocks on the x? cuz i lowered mine and i've found shocks that are designed for lowered vehicles but on the description it says 2wd frontier/xterra is there actually a difference?
thanks

^ I did it mainly to be different, i've never really seen a lowered x either so i figured why not be one of the first? i was going to lift it but everyone does that so.....

i have to say it looks alot better than i thought it would. i was afraid it was going to be some ghetto sled. what are the chrome ovals or the fender?

they are those port holes like what comes on the buicks but they're coming off this weekend, the more i look at them the more i don't like them

it's hard to get used to seeing an X without the rook rack

AFIK, (without looking it up) the shocks are the same.

Truck looks good, by the way... only one problem I see: you have silver center caps on charcoal wheels:nana:

ok cool i may just buy one rim just to check fitment, only thing that concerns me is that freakin hub on the front wheels, i know for sure that they fit on the 2wd xterras with the center hole bored a little bit, but im now sure how much bigger the hub on a 4wd is compared to a 2wd? any one have pics or specs on the differences between the two?

it should be the same, if it was different you wouldnt be able to rotate the wheels. also, if the front was bigger , they would have to make specific wheels for the 4x4a, just dosent really make sense to me that it would require a bogger bore.
just my .02

true i hadnt thought of that, yeah i guess since the 2wd and 4wd's have the same wheels it wouldnt be any differnt
thanks
