Welcome to our new members!

I want other posters to put their pics up. My truck has had its day in the limelight...at least for a little while.

More modifications coming soon!

My daily driver is a 2002 Frontier, painted BRIGHT (Solar) YELLOW! That color looks great on the Zs too!

I'll try to post a pic later...

DRIVE!

My name is Nate, I drive a 2002 nissan frontier CC longbed 4x4 with too many mods to list. I live in Atlanta GA. I was in the 2006 Real Truck club challenge, 2004 Raid North GA (1st place) 2005 Raid N GA (3rd place) 2006 Raid N GA (1st place)....I am treasurer of NOAS (www.NOAS4x4club.com)...

here is the link to the other post with pics and a few vids.

2 are on 35's with dana 44's under the frame.
The other rides on 33's ( He had some garage restrictions so that was his max.

We have a Bob-tailed Hardbody that is going in for it's SAS conversion to 3/4 ton high-pinion dana 44's and his plan is for 38" Iroks on an 8 bolt Hummer wheel he picked up for cheap. Should be done in May/June sometime so I wll post when that one is done.

the truck is already wild with it's full exo - cage and rear deck.

now, why am I here?

I'm convinced that my XTerra is just right.
The only thing I've done so far is put a K&N stock style filter on it, ONLY used synthetic oil (it needs to run forever - easy for a Nissan) oh yeah, and drive it like I stole it everyday. @ 40,000 miles it's just waking up to the fact that it's a Nissan and will run for 200k+ more...
pictures? well, none yet, but hey, pull up a stock picture of a silver (ice) 03 XTerra with a roof rack and side step (not too common on the base models) and you've got my Xterra. Kind of reminds me of my 86 Sentra, which is why reason for liking Nissans - discovering that they don't die.
Yes, it looks like most every other one out there, I'm cool with that, I just want it to GO like no other!!!

Check out my Nissan offroad club:
http://www.NOAS4xclub.com

we have 3-4 runs a year and about 6-7 members from FL that come to them.

We have our annual members only run at Riverrock ORV in Miledgeville GA in April and already have a confirmed showing of 29 trucks....

My buddy is going through an engine rebuild on his KA in his hardbody in the next few months. He plans on doing the upper end for now and leaving the bottom stock....he's a nissan master mechanic, so I guess he can do whatever he wants...

NICE! I'd be interested in finding out what your friend does to his and any relatively cheap mods I can do for now, that won't void the warrantee.
Going to wait until either the vehicle is paid off or the warrantee is expired before going too nuts. Right now it's my main transport. VERY reliable of course.
and yes that is one bad *** truck.

Stacey Lynn Childs 1970-2007... Love of my life, my best friend, Heaven's prettiest angel. I miss you so much.

I finally got around to formatting this image so it can fit it here. Destination Xterra no longer exists so there is no issue with posting this now. My local photo studio took the picture with an 8MP camera and did all the corner images in photoshop. Then I had a 24x48 inch photograph printed up for my garage. The center image is the real thing by the way.

I've not seen one where those front mudflaps have survived more than one foray into the rocks!

Pretty truck tho.

But I don't beat the tar out of it either since it is my daily driver.

With 4 vehicles, I do pay for a heckuva lot of car insurance though. Fortunately the two trucks and my commuter are paid for...just making payments on the wifey's car.

It's built in China only and today I went back the site and looked at the 2007 model. They have some nice styling cues. Notice the fenders and quarter panels are very similar to the Frontier?. Look at the bumper and those cool driving lights. Even the interior is a bit different.

And it has been in the Dakar Rally since they started building them.

More pics of my trucks?

I'll see what I can dig up.
