Alpha

Jack5885's Expedition Build/Ideas Thread

NOTICE: This is a long term build since I have very little free time at the moment.

Bio:
When I first got it I called it Panda because a friend of mine thought it looked like a panda. Since then, I've officially named it: Alpha.

Saved up money to buy one of my few reasonably priced dream cars...
2002 Nissan Xterra, 4x4 and manual transmission.
Anyways...
I bought it with 93k and I am currently the third owner.
There is a small rust spot and medium dent from when the second owner was parked in a parking lot, and some jerk knocked into her (the car) and drove off.

Installed:
-Cooper Discoverer A/T3 265/75R16
-2 4" HIDs on the roof (6/6/12)
-PML (4/22/12)
-Shrockworks Tire Carrier
-Clarion CX501
-LED Interior lights (one red map light, the rest white)
-Midland 75-822
-Headliner Fix (front was peeling back so I fixed it, but now its starting to sag badly over the driver's seat)
-Matching spare wheel
-New Cabin Air Filter (1/17/12)
-Sylvania SilverStar Ultra (1/17/12)
-Bilstein HDs

Removed:
-Brush guard (For sale)
-Mud flaps (For Sale)
-Last remaining hub cap (For sale)
-Running boards (For sale)
-Rear sway bar

In Progress:
-Sliders (Being welded together in my spare time)
-Intake Mod (66% done, still need to remove the big baffle)

Coming Soon:
-Fix rust spots (before they get worse) or get used front left fender
-Paint Plastics

And went on a little drive:

WoW I'm jealous. :) Beautiful scenery.
PML done. I'll post pics eventually.
Also got a screw in my tire removed and plugged for free. (Discount Tire rocks)

New tires are needed but I'll wait until the fall since I wont be driving her this summer.
Sweet on the PML....question? Do you carry a tire repair kit? Screw in the tire takes maybe 5 minutes to fix and would be right handy to have in the middle of nowhere. :wink:

Haven't updated this in awhile...So lets get some pictures!

Since my last update I've:
-Installed 265/75R16 Cooper Discoverer AT3. Amazing tires and I love them. They are quite cheap and perform on par with the best tires on the market.
-Timing Belt change at 103k miles.

I'm also looking into buying a Shrock rear bumper to free up space in the trunk because my tire is in there right now. If anybody is selling one or know someone selling one, PM me. With a month+ long trip planned for my gap year that is about to start before college, I need to start getting my truck ready.
