Hi everyone!

I thought I'd join in to see what's going on...

I have a 2006 S 4x4 - White to help repel the AZ heat!. I try to do most of my own maintenance and am currently looking to see what lift kit I'd like to get for it - nothing too extreme justa couple inches of lift. When out 4-wheeling the back mud flaps like to scrape the ground - I'm glad they are still attached!

I use my X to haul around my neighbor's and my mountain bikes too - the two fit in the back perfectly on a bracket assy I made.

I had a Nismo cold air intake and the heat shield couldn't stand up to the off-road adventures, unfortunately. I really liked the way it screamed at 4 -5K RPM. So for now I am using a K&N filter with the stock air box.

I'm looking forward to meet you all...

Welcome to ClubX. If you do any sort of offroading you'll want to lose the mudflaps (SUVs aren't legally required to have them in AZ), and also lose the steprails - they'll just get trashed.

For local happenings, the Arizona Xterra Club forum can be found at:

To Rons04X - some pics have been posted.

To AZ-Ted - thanks for the info! My son said I need to get rid of that stuff too - I really like the pic of your X! My first choice was silver, but there were none around when I was buying.

Welcome from Ky!

Don't mean to be negative, but I prefer black (get it? black=negative of white. . .nevermind) LOL!
