Looks good man, the bedliner makes it look new.
04 Xterra - The Start of a new Project
3
New to me 04 Xterra...54k miles and drove pretty great. Didn't do research and the first few weeks had been rough with unexpected repairs (center link, coolant leak, replacing a tire, Merchant's Tire chipping my rim, etc) A few good washes in and a good cleaning and now I am on to the fun stuff!
As purchased:
![]()
First project...Rustoleum Bedliner in a spray can. I love it. Very forgiving on people that can't paint (me). Durable, and adheres to just about everything.
Removed front and rear bumpers and trim:
The plastic fender trim had a ton of broken clips and stripped out screws, so I left all the fender trim/mud flaps off. I left the step rails off as well, but they are bed lined black just in case I want to put them on again (short girlfriend
)
Finished Product:

Note: I also bed lined the fuel flap...why? Because ImageOmega had his bedlined and when I saw it at mod day, it looked cool...thanks!
Wind Fairing and Roof Rack: Bedlined over the stock decals, and carefully peeled them off, resulting in a flat black "NISSAN" on the wind fairing and the XTERRA logo in silver on the roof rack!

Not bad for 80 bucks worth of supplies and materials!
====================
No pictures, but I also did the complete debaffled airbox mod while I had all the fender trim out. I am a fan!
Next steps:
Bedline the rims to match
Plasti-dip emplems
New tires (not sure which yet)
PML somewhere down the road here...
Basically, every thing on the vehicle will be...red or black...that's it!

Well for anyone wanting to do the headliner in bedliner its the same process as the DIY headliner redo except instead of fabric spray your bedliner. Although i do suggest getting the tool to remove the driver and passenger seat belts as it makes it a whole lot easier to remove and install the headliner. Here are my pics of mine.
