That shock blue is friggin' awesome! You and Creepy Cruiser are the only two I've seen that color.

That is a great deal!

Everything looks awesome but it looks like your front bumper is "pushed" up in the front. Nothing serious. Just a looks thing.

As for wheels... keep your eyes open. Members will often sell their stock rims when they upgrade to another wheel. Or you can get some Crawlers or Cragars for less than $50 each.

steel wheels are auctually better for offroading cause if you smash them off a rock, alloy wheels will crack apart where steel wheels will just bend. And the best part is that they can be bent back with a big hammer.

i might get bashed hard for this but im into big rims not really off roading....... i think a set of 22's would look good on an X........... though i do like the look of oversized tires so i might do that this time............ anyone have any pics with some big rims on an x ive seen the oversized tires and i like them just havent seen big rims yet

Take a look at Shadow's Xterra. That is probably the sweetest street X you'll see anywhere.

Most of the members here are more geared towards the offroad use but we respect the fact that not everybody is into that. I've seen some guys flamed hard for doing stuff like that. And I've cracked a few jokes about them myself. Just like I'm sure somebody has cracked a joke about my muddy xterra as well. To each his own I say. They say a vehicle can represent who you are (or even who you want to be I suppose). Everybody has a different idea of what they like.

While I was working on my X the other day my dad came over and was looking at my stock wheels and here is the convo that followed:

Dad: What size are your tires? They look huge!
Me: They are the stock size. Wait til you see the ones I'm getting. They are even bigger!
Dad: Why on earth would you want bigger tires?
Me: You remember back when you were young and you dreamed of having a late 40's street rod?
Dad: Yeah
Me: Well this is my late 40's street rod. It's what I've wanted and I want it to be UNIQUELY mine. I don't want someone to see a silver xterra and say "Hey that looks just like Drake's Xterra." I want them to say "HOLY SHIT!!! Have you seen Drake's Xterra?"

I still don't think he understands what the big deal with offroading is with me. hahaha

Anyways... we may not be a lot of help with street-mods but we'll do what we can to help ya out.

If you get big rims please post lots of pics. Just not spinners...please not Kragens clip-on spinners like all the ones I see.

Cool!
My wife and I looked at an 02 when they first came out that color. At the time it was one of the coolest colors they offered and hard to find. I like it.

When I bought my 06, they didn't offer anything like that, so that's why I tore the whole thing apart right after I got it and repainted it the 350Z datona blue instead, lol. Now I love it, lol.
