New to the forum, although I've lurked here a few times learning some good stuff about my 03 Xterra SE. I'm looking to do some of the typical mods as time goes by. As mine sits, its bone stock on 31's with 182K. Just replaced the clutch on Friday and would like to do the PML to start things off. I live in the Phoenix area and am an RN for some background. There is wealth of knowledge here that I hope to take advantage of and turn my X into the weekend warrior I've always wanted.
Raise TBs (X), paint plastics (X), Replace radiator with one that is bigger and will last (X), install roof lights (X), IAB (X), better tires (X), shackles in rear(X), remove rear sway bar (X), Bilsteins (X)
Used to live up in Yavapai county and go down to Phoenix area often.
Some great trails in the mountains around Phoenix.
Yeah, 4x4 manual. Been driving the snot out of this thing for a long time now and it keeps on moving. Even wrecked it once. I lived in Prescott for a while and went with some friends a few times around Palace Station and the back way to Crown King. That's a nice ride. Though, I didn't go on my X as its still dressed as a grocery getter. This is why I am here: to see what others have done and adopt ideas and designs to exploit for my own selfish needs on weekends in the desert.
A manual 4x4 is the perfect combo imo. Lucky! That thing's gonna be fun.
There's a local Arizona Xterra group too if you go to azxterraclub.com or click on the state in my sig. We're trying to organize one event a month somewhere around the state as well as other stuff.

See you around
Right on! I'll have to look into it once I get my X a little more capable off road. Right now I think it could handle a rough road or sandy wash, but that's about it.
