Here are some new pics of the X with my new brushguard, thanks again Drake. I used the dupont spray-on bedliner for the brushguard and it worked great.

I also recently did the intake mod removing the baffles, i suggest this to everyone.

Next up is new shoes for the X....

Nicely done! Like the texture on the guard just like mine!

Nice! :)

Did you apply that with a brush?

or possibly one of those truck bed linex spray can I see all the time in the stores?

Very nice truck! Now we just need one final picture: "After Brush Guard Removed"

:D

Very nice bro! That looks really good!

Yeah Anthony, we all know the dislike of the b'guards and OUMOOSE told me when he asked about buying mine that he doesn't offroad and it was mainly for cosmetics otherwise I wouldn't have sold it to him. Everybody that inquired about buying it, I made sure that they understood what they were getting into with it.

I love it...where did you get the paint? I have a brush guard that I need to paint as well.:aufkopfhauen-big::bubblegum-big:

Looks good man i like it

Looking good. My wife's an an OU fan too, which isn't surprising since that's her home state.

Yes, this was done with the Dupont Spray-on Bedliner. I believe its around 8 bucks for a can at Autozone. I had to use 2 cans.

Anthony, yes, I understand its not good for offroading. I debated it a long time. I really do not have anywhere around here to offroad, nor can I seem to find the time. So, I got it for looks. Yeah, i guess I am a poser. And, I know it can do more damage to the front of my car, but that is what insurance is for right? $500 and it gets fixed regardless of the damage. I think it gives it a nice look. I would not have paid $500 for a new one, but Drake made me a good deal so I thought what the heck. This is used to get me to work everyday, the bike trails, and occasionally to the lake. So its very light offroading, nothing major.

I really like the looks of the "trail rig" Xterras, but I don't like to tear up my only transportation.

nice looking x, the rims set it off good

I'll have to get that truck bedliner spray on paint sometime....that looks really good, nice paint job!

I knew that would look good! Nice looking X!

You'll have to join us at Disney sometime in September.

...... I really do not have anywhere around here to offroad, ......

This is where I used to go once in awhile during open season and always did my best to Tread Lightly while there.

Nice truck, now if we could just do something about that front license plate...;)

How true. Something like this would be much more appropriate. :D

Yeah, I was going to go with bigger OU but I just didn't want to seem like I was bragging to much. I know their are a bunch of Texas people on the board. We seem to always still their good players.

Hahaha, that's not quite what I meant.

Dude, I wasn't lecturing you. And I certainly didn't call you a poser, we all do different things with our trucks... but NO ONE here is a poser.

Hahaha, that's not quite what I meant.
This will be the look after his next set of mods. - hehe :D

Hahahahaha.....I'd like to see that! lol

no one here is a poser, we all love each other cuz we have the most badass SUV's out there, i mean, c'mon, they come with a friggin first aid kit built into the trunk door. btw, i love the way your rig looks with those rims

x2 on that man, dont worry about what we think of you...your a fellow Xterra member and we're always looking forward to meeting/interacting with other fellow Xterra noobs. Oh yeah, Xterras are better than Fords :) Hahaha.

Yeah I agree....everyone has their own taste....no one will judge you for that.
I have always liked the grille guards...I do not off road so I don't have to worry about my "approach".
It looks great don't worry about it.:wink-big:

Hey guys... I think everybody is taking Anthony's remark out of context. He didn't mean that in any insulting way at all. It's just sort of a continual laugh among the offroad crowd about brushguards. He didn't intend that in anyway to be a shot at OU's decision to mount a brushguard. Just a light flaming I guess you could say.

Yo your truck looks killa man........cept for one thing that I think you oughta do......... replace the OU with UT!:aufkopfhauen-big:

I did not think at all that he was lecturing me or calling me a poser. That was a self described comment. No worries Anthony.

I have always been into customer vehicles, this is my first 4X4 vehicle. Oh wait, no, I did have a 88 Nissan Hardbody that was a 4X4, that thing NEVER got stuck it was a monster. But, this is my second. Typically I had lowered trucks, SUV's, so like i said, no worries and I called myself the Poser. I didn't think anyone else did.

If you did or thought that, I don't care anyway!

This will be the look after his next set of mods. - hehe :D

That reminds me of this custom trike this guy has in Ardmore, the back of it is made to look like the Schooner. Even I have to admit that thing is pretty neat.

Yeah I agree....everyone has their own taste....no one will judge you for that.

Yo Tina, You might like my grille guard in my gallery :devil-big: Haha

So, as i said earlier i paid off the X last month. It is so nice to not have that car payment. However, I was scared of what might happen since its paid off...you know how it goes. So, I went camping this past weekend and I was going through this gate arm thing and it f'ing came down on my hood. It was this long wooden gate arm that had a stop sign on it. The stop sign hit my hood. I was so pissed I almost planted my foot into the floor board and ripped that thing down. But, I didn't thanks to my wife's cool head. So, now I have this dent and scrape on my hood. Anyway, i knew you guys would sympathize! I haven't figured out what I am going to do about this yet. I was going to work the dent out myself, but its hidden behind the brace in the hood.

Piece of sh*t arm.

:usuck:

Have you talked to anybody about that gate arm? They might be held responsible for that due to its mechanical failure....just a suggestion.

Or do you have full coverage? Could just pay the deductible and get it fixed.

I have full coverage with a 500 deduct...They had a sign posted that said only one car can go through at a time. It was dark someone was in front of me and I could not see the sign. I don't think it was faulty, it was just bad luck I guess. And, this was a ma and pa place that could barely function in the "modern" world. So, I didn't even try to talk with them.

nice x

Post a pic of the damage if you want....just curious of how bad a gate like that could do...since I pass through one alot of times when I'm in downtown area....

that sucks about your hood man, i would have talked to the people and atleast advised them to put the sign in a better place so that crap wouldnt have to happen to anyone else.
let us know what happens w/ it.

your x looks tight btw. i really like the look of all the black, get some tints on it and itll really stand out.

Well its tax season so time to do some more mods. I am not sure what i want to do next. I wanted opinions...understand that i do not offroad much at all.

I am for sure planning on getting new tires...yet undecided on what kind.

My other ideas are:
1. Exhaust - flowmaster or magnaflow
2. 2-4 Hella Lights
3. Sliders - I know, i don't offroad, for looks and when I do go. Plus my 4 year old daughter is getting heavy!
4. More lift
5. BL - I would love this, but I do not have anyone that can help me do it.
6. ??????

Thanks for the help and ideas....

Hellas or Sliders should be the way to go

Thanks for the advice TN.

exhaust and hellas...like you said you dont go off roading...no need for sliders...i do a little off roading and i want to do a pml and exhaust with some of my income tax this year... hopefully i get to do it...

I may just try to find some used sliders...or have some fab'd up. It would be an expensive "step" for my daughter.

hey man, my silver OEM Xterra stepbars are for sale if your interested?

I know everyone tears brush guards to shreds, but I think yours look pretty sweet. I would put 2 round hella 500's on there.

I have my OEM steps in my garage...I took them off because I don't like them. But, like i said, she is getting heavy! She could maninpulate the slider as a step I think.

Yes, everyone shreds brushguards....approach angle, damage, blah, blah, blah...but I agree it looks nice. And, isn't that what its all about? I think I am definitely going with the HELLA's. Just not sure what else...maybe exhaust next...

Did you ever get your hood fixed?

No, I am currently carrying it as a badge of honor! I am thinking of fixing it myself then just doing the line-x type stuff on the hood. I can do the body work just fine, but I no longer have paint equipment. Or, I will just do the body work and have someone shoot it for me. It just hasn't been priority yet.

Piece of sh*t gate!

I'd go with the Hella's and exaust first then think about the silders... Just my opinion. The rig looks good so far...

Moose,, would you mind sharing wheel and tire size,, I"m looking into gettine me some and really like the way they look on your X... also,, you currenlty only have a PML right?
