in february, after deciding to keep my trusty 2002 for a few more years, i thought a facelift, some personalization, and some off-road improvements would make a good project. so here goes.

front - painted the silver portions of the grille and front bumper to match the exterior color of the truck. added a custom light bar and 2 hella 500 driving lights.

sides - added rocky road rock rails (painted nissan grey), and 15 X 7 alloy wheels from a frontier. 31 X 10.50 X 15 cooper sst's

underneath - skid row front and engine/transmission skid plates. the bilstein shocks will go on next week.

roof - painted roof rack and load warrior (with added extension) with duracolor graphite wheel paint. painted roof spoiler to match exterior of truck, and painted side portions of spoiler graphite.

back - skid row bumper and tire carrier. made the hi-lift jack mount myself out of 3/16 inch angle iron. kc flood light and smittybilt shackles.

interior - replaced nissan neoprene seat covers with leather gt covers. made a tray to mount 10" laptop on the dash for a moving map display.

that's about it for now, but who knows what i'll think of tomorrow. enjoy the pics.

Nice touch on the paint scheme! Very cool personal touch. The X is looking good! :)

BTW... your X will never be truly finished. There's always something else you want. :D

Nice! Any plans for a PML or BL?

Looks good!

looks great, love the color scheme

you're right.....it'll never be finished. no....no plans for any lift. it works pretty darn good the way it is. many owners of highly modified jeeps have expressed disbelief at some of the places i have taken this truck. just take my time. plus....it fits in my garage !!!!!

Nice X dude!

Nicely done.
Looks great!

sweet color X/ write up for the laptop stand?

ok.....here are some pics of the laptop stand components. i got everything at home depot, except for the camping pad, and the clipboard. i know the stand is kind of goofy looking, as it is my initial design, but it mounts quickly, doesn't interfere with any controls, and gets the job done. hope the pictures are self-explanatory enough.

Got to love the Desert Runner rims!

really nice x dude
