I'll post pictures today. I'll all black, except it says nissan on the front in red and xterra on the sides in red.

For a cheap mod, this looks amazing. props to you on doing your own thing. rep points coming your way.

Rant, who the heck accents their X in red!? haha JK bro! great work. props to you for being different. It's nice having a rig that anyone can spot from a mile away...at event's everyone knows your X out of the crowd just by seeing it once or twice online. Looks great on the white X!

Thank You SO Much Guys !!

i'm not so fond of the accents, but props on doing something new, and it definately makes your x stand out.

now you gotta update your sig pic!!

you should also paint the hitch and the wipers.

you should also paint the hitch and the wipers.

Hitch - YES !! -- / Wipers - tOO mUCH !!

I don't know about the red, but he hatch looks nice. I wish mine could look that way :(

Hitch - YES !! -- / Wipers - tOO mUCH !!

id paint the wiper arms at least not the wipers themselves they would look sick in the front in my opinion

I did the antena and it was the tipping point for me - now I have to paint it back black !!

(I put the red one on my wifes mpv last night !! I'll see how long it takes her to notice !!)

I think colored wiper arms look tacky IMO. You might as well slap the fake portholes on wherever you see fit. LOL

Rant, what you've got looks great.

So now you need to black out your rims and add red calipers/red inserts in the rims. Looking good man....

Next is to black out my rims --
This is a photoshop pic of what they should look like !!
http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab234/Rantsx/blackrims.jpg

I like it. Think it will look even better with black rims. For more contrast you could paint the plastics black. A few red vinyl decals would really tie it together too.

looks great rant!

Looks great man!! I really like the red!

I like the red man, good work.
In those pictures it almost looks like someone selected all of those parts on photoshop or something.

I really like this, a lot. Definitely creative and different. Hat's off man. Try and get some Red Stripe stickers! Rep that beer hard because it's great and one of my favorites.

Thank ya'll !! - Small stuff but it turned out to make a big statement !!
A little somethin' for the admirers !!

Totally punk rock bro. I really dig the red accents on the white X.

"Against the grain"


Btw, the pic was the Jamaican dude saying "Hooray Beer"

Hahaha. Hooray beer! I feel like those are my famous last words every weekend.

dude....those rims gotta be red.

Red rims? Ehhh I disagree with that. I feel like that might be overkill. However, if he did it time attack style, that would look dope. All black with a red lip.

All black with a red lip is the only way to have "red" on your rims and not look like a teenager with a rattle can and hub caps.

^^hahahaha that too!

Yeah, the black wheels would look good. You gotta work on your parking though. Pulling in the driveway like that just makes it hard to get that thing in the garage. :aufkopfhauen-big:

Hmm - I could make some Red Lips Work !!

do itttttttt

Yea, definitely do black with a red lip. I feel like it just fits a whole lot better.

Ok You talked me into it !!

That is sick. The red lips just bring the whole thing together. Until you added that, I wasn't so sure about the red on a white X. Now I am a believer!!

Thanx Guys !!- It is yet to be done - Pic is Photoshopped !!

Saving up for this !!

What is that, Rancho?
I have heard not so good things about Rancho's SL. As in it's only 2.5 inches as opposed to 3, and it actually decreases articulation and offroad performance.

Good to know !!
I also wanted to add a 3" body lift and see the combo is not advised ??
5 1/2 " of lift would make Rant very happy !!

I would go with a Calmini or AC SL kit. Better quality, more lift, better articulation. If you really want to do a 3" BL, go for it. But be warned, it is ten times the work of a 2" BL. You have to relocate a bunch of things, extend a bunch of lines, and worry about breaking stuff.

what about white rims with a red lip?

nope !!

how about a photoshop pic of it then.

White rims?

Rant, IMHO you should do the PML & 2" BL and save the money you would spend on a 3" for other additions.

He has a great point, Do this and get some 33" and you would have your 5"+ lift.

Any brand recommendations ??
I don't have auto tools so I'll be paying out the wazoo for labor !!

Calmini or AC (4x4parts.com) shackles for PML. Pucks* & hardware* for 2" BL.

$70-$75 bucks for shackles & around the same for the 2" BL.

You can do all of this by yourself or with another dude w/o spending money on labor. :)



*Look into the Piece together a 2" BL.

it is really easy to do. there are write ups on here for both. I advise learning to turn a wrench, it will save you tons!!! of money. :)

Painted my interior entry lights with Valspar RED Stained glass paint for an erie glow at nightime !!

Tried to get a pic but camera wouldn't do it justice - But it looks bad @zz !!

NICE!! :) Did you get the cleaning kit also?

NICE!! :) Did you get the cleaning kit also?

No - I figured it's clean now so I'll wait on that for awhile 50 bucks for an air filter is a bit steep but I guess it pays for itself !!

Good thinking.

whats the benefit of getting one? sorry if thats a stupid question, but at some point in my life i missed the lecture on that subject.

There are no Stupid questions !!

Did you know that the average car or truck air filter needs to be replaced on a yearly basis, regardless of how dirty it looks? That air filter replacement interval drops even more if the vehicle is used in dusty areas or extreme-use situations. Your auto air filter plugs up and gradually loses its efficiency over time, flowing less and less air until your car or truck is literally choked. The result is poor fuel economy and sluggish performance even though your air filter may not look that dirty. The answer is simple and inexpensive: A replacement air filter. So don't neglect this essential but easy-to-forget part. For those of you who would like to extract more power from your vehicle, a high-performance air filter, sometimes called a high-flow air filter, is the quickest way to start. High-performance auto air filters from K&N air filter flow more air with less restriction than stock paper air filters. K&N air filters are also washable and reusable, meaning you never have to buy another performance air filter again. K&N air filters are even backed by a million-mile warranty, so you know you're buying quality.

Worth the $30 + Bucks ??

Ordered Zone 2"x3" BL Pucks !!

Rant, in the weeks preceding the BL, make sure you PB blast the hell out of everything.
If you can, the body bolts all the way in the rear go up to a captive bolt inside the body that you can just reach with one of those little plastic straws that come with wd40 or PB, just follow it up and spray a bunch up there.

I didn't, and now I have one less body mount.

interesting....whats the point of that stupid plastic anyway...looks good without it

Looks dope!

You take off your wheel trim and all we get is close up garage shots!?! Come on now, lets get some full side shots. Lol. I thought about doing this to clean up mine, but then I'd have to do the body work and paint to take the other section off or it'd just bother me. Someone did a write up on it but I don't know if I want to tackle that when I should be working on my TT swap and Chevelle.

OK - Full Side shot pic(s) comming up !!

Yeah I got rid of all the plastic on my X... with the exception of the grill.. plastic doesn't do it for me...

Hey Rant since you seem pretty good with photo shop, you think you could take a look at my build thread and do an actual photo shop of my truck with the MS Paint paint job I did. There should be a stock photo of the one I used to to the paint version, but I'd like to be able to see the color scheme with the body lines still visible.
