Last month marked the one year anniversary when I bought my Xterra. Here are some pictures of how she started, where she's been and where she is now! Her name is Delilah, as so named by my girlfriend...

The afternoon that I brought her home. Untouched!

The very first thing I did, the second day I had it was swap out all of the old for all new Alpine sound.

My first time engaging the 4x4.

Then I had to restore my NISSAN logo back to its original white color. Had my father cut out a stencil on his vinyl cutter thing, and I sprayed it white.

Felt the need for some more lighting so I started this.

Ended up throwing four more Hella's up top.

I LOVE a good snow day. Nothing better!

Put some new shocks on it. The old ones were rough

Moved the Hella's to the bumper. They make more sense down there for me. I hardly used my roof lights.

My cats recently went bad. Noticed my exhaust was rusting badly. So I did the eBay thing and got the Nismo cat back system and four Magnaflow free flow converters. She feels 1000lbs lighter now for sure! 40 miles more per tank of gas.

Got this to go along with the new exhaust. I'd hope that they compliment each other.

Recently bought our Hankook AT's. LOVE them

And this is how she sits now. Just added a Yakima LoadWarrior I found on craigslist and threw my spare up there to make some more space. I noticed I had bottomed out on it a couple of times.
...who knows what will come next.
