Well since Kevin and James posted their pictures I decided it was time to post mine. Sorry, I'm not very good about taking progress pictures.

39.5's!!!! DAMN!!!! :)

If it has an avalanche license plate in place of my license plate spot I'm stealing it back. Just you wait!

Lets see some more flex pics Alex

Damn...thats a awesome lookin' rig!

Wicked!

How do you like those TSL's? I'm looking into a set for myself hopefully by Thanksgiving or so. Haven't decide on which ones I want. The TSL's, SSR's and the TSL SX's. And still toying with the Yoko M/T's idea.

hey what site or where did you get those set of 4 lights up top? i want those soo sososos bad

Those are PIAA's if I'm not mistaken. I know Shrockworks sells them as an option with their bumper and I'm sure you can find them at the usual parts sites.

I can't wait to pick up those tbars and check it out in person.

Here is where I am at now. the steering is temporary and will eventually be over the leafsprings.

Your having WAY too much fun with that tube bender Alex. Cant wait to see it.

Here is an update for the night. I decided to do some good old trimming.

Kinda looks like a moon buggy now

Nice!

It takes guts to chop off the back of your X, nicely done Alex.

Sweet!

Nice! What's your plans for closing up the back? Small tailgate and bikini top? I wonder if the tops off the Isuzu Amigo would work on that.

pure sex right there

again...damn

Now your having too much fun with the Sawzall... Im jealous ;).

Nice! What's your plans for closing up the back? Small tailgate and bikini top? I wonder if the tops off the Isuzu Amigo would work on that.

I dont think an amigo would be wide enough. I will probably get canvas done eventually but my whole interior is bedlined so I am not too worried about water. I may just cut the rear hatch and weld it in there although I am flirting with the idea of making a tailgate out of tube.

i was going to do the exact same thing to mine i was telling James about it, can’t wait to see how it looks at the end it looks good Alex

I caved in a decided to pinch the rear. I have only done the driver's side so far but I pulled it in about 3.5inches. here are the pictures so far.

Pre-pinch

Narrowed.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t280/atopousis/Picture421.jpg

I'll get better pictures when that part of the process is done which will hopefully be this afternoon some time.

Looking good Alex!

Here are some crappy cell phone pictures. There is obviously more work to do. There is alot more tube work that is going to happen in the near future. The truck will get an exo but i will probably start that around november.

First day out of the garage

There is a ton more work to do but it is getting there

badass!

That look ssick. I can't wait to see it done! Does it fit in your garage? it looks too tall in the first picture.

Looks freakin' sick!

That tube work coming down the back will be nice!!

Here's an update. I got almost all the tubing done in the front except the winch support and shock hoops. I still need to do: rear brakes, brake lines, mount the steering box, front driveshaft and the np205 doubler but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t280/atopousis/SAS%20revolution/DSCN1922.jpg

The cage needs to go about 1.5" back and 2 inches up in the back still. I should clear the tires but we'll see. I may need to revisit the back tube.

HOLY SNICKERS BATMAN! That looks crazy Alex very nice work on that tubing though, one of the better jobs I have seen for sure! Looks like one of the decepticons!

Pure friggin' evil man! Lookin' good!

wow

Wow....looks good!

BTW - Is your dog really like pulling that around nowadays? :mocking:

Haha yes he is pulling it around lately. If you have food he will do pretty much anything

That looks awesome!!!

That is a beautiful Husky, I have wanted one for a long time...

Nice truck too!

that is so bad ass!!! you guys out there in Colorado have some of best looking rigs I have ever seen

This is the most unique build I've seen in a while. Very nice work dude. You need to send some pictures and specs in to Petersons or some other off road mag. Maybe they might do a story and we could get some Xterra love going.

Boat tailed in back, and a bow up front.

Very sweet.

You do some nice work Mr.

:D

What is this?

Good idea!

awesome...simply awesome

That thing looks sick!!! Keep up the good work...

Dude that looks fuckin mean!

I can't wait to see it in action.

Got some new tires 40x16r15 super swamper LTB's. I'm almost done with everything now and will hopefully be up and running within the next couple weeks.
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m22/curleyben/tiresyclayton.jpg

I siped the tires for better grip
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m22/curleyben/tiretread.jpg

Holy cow and I already thought your rig was big! How does your engine handle those gears and wheels??? Anyways awesome deal! I want to see some pics of your rig soon hitting some trails. Feels like its been a while since I have seen any...

havent driven it yet but it should be good to go with the 5.13s. my buddy is pushing 42's with his 4cylinder nissan

Holy jeebus!

Damn!

Good Gravy!!! That thing is gonna be nasty!

Gonna look good with those 31"s! What are you going to do with your intake?

Some more tubing in the rear
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t280/atopousis/IMG_0465.jpg

SICK!!! That is one bad ass xterra!!! Are you going to close off the rear in front of the cage you built in the back?

Glad to see you didn't have to do that much trimming to fit those. Most of us run into problems fitting anything larger than the OEM size. It's probably time to remove the dealer window sticker though and be careful... some of your mods may void your warranty. ;)

Excellent job bro! Looks wicked!

Bitchin!

Looks good! What happened to the cage that was around the body? Was that removable?

x looks awesome like something out of halo or something


i thought you said you had a case of lucky charms in the back of the x? you lied :)

Well here is an update. I got the np205 in. made shifters for it. I now have a clutch pedal and that is bled which was a huge pain in the ass. I took the rear doors off because as Ryan says I am going to keep cutting away until its not an xterra anymore. the rear doors will be back on eventually but I need to cut away so much for the tires it will be easier this way

Dude....wicked freakin awesome. Someday I would love to take my X and just take the body off and sandblast the frame and then build it back together like your X.

is that the splined end of an axle shaft that you used for shifter knobs?

lol

thats disgusting.


i love it.

is that the splined end of an axle shaft that you used for shifter knobs?

lol

Yes sir.

HOLY S, that is a Monster :D

So, maybe I'm not seeing something, but what's the T-handle shifter over the tail of the transmission (or is it the transfer case?) for? Is it connected to anything? And is that NP205 replacing the stock T/C or do you have it doubled? Cause I noticed the stock T/C shifter is still there?

the np205 is behind the tx-10. all the tx-10 does now is reduces the ratio. the np205 is what the driveshafts are connected to. the shifter in the middle is for a parking brake that will be on the rear outpu of the np205. so basically now i will be able to have power only going to the front axle and lock the rear axle with the brake. this allows you to turn really tight on the trail and is known as a cutting brake

Coming along awesome!

Absolutly Sick!

are you going to be covering the front end with dimpled sheet or anything? or completely exposed?

what are the plans for the rest of the cage? exo or internal? any doors or completely open?

That is just friggin' wicked man! I can't wait until we start seeing some action shots of this beast.

I'm going to put either aluminum or stainless steel in the gaps of the front tubing. I will be working on an exo this winter. I am going to make all the doors half doors and eventually get canvas for them. Its easier to work on the truck with out them on. especially since they come off so easily

Man that thing is a beast! Can not wait to see pic's of it in action.

Great work Alex! Can't wait to see it fully ready!:)

Sick X man.

:2cool: Looking Great dude!!

That is bad ass! Just out of curiousity why did you pick a Xterra for this project?

Freakin Sweet!!!

Niiiice.. you're the monster of CX, dude.

That is bad ass! Just out of curiousity why did you pick a Xterra for this project?

I bought it when I was 16 and have had it for 7 years now so Its all paid off. I wheeled the hell out of it for a few years and got it to the point where everything needed replaced so I just sased it. Ididnt expect to take it this far in the beginning but I have no regrets.

props to you on a crazy build. cant wait to see what you do next

You sick fuck...


Looks good dude

looks really good man. does that pass inspection out there???

do you mind taking some better pictures and or a write up on your doors

Those doors are the very definition of "Colorado." :D

looks really good man. does that pass inspection out there???

do you mind taking some better pictures and or a write up on your doors

There aren't really any vehicle laws out here so yeah. I can take better pics of the doors however there isn't much to them as far as a write up. Just cut where you want and weld it shut
