I'd like to build my own sliders for the X. Not sure I have the time...

I'm sure you'll have time for most of January now... Getting material might be the harder part.

My brother and I just got this Frontier... Of course it'll now have to sit until this "lockdown" is over.

They tend to sound better when they have oil
I got my light cage from P&P engineering, had to organize a group buy of 20 people to get them to produce it again. Took almost a year but the turnaround once they started production was only a few weeks.
Will look like this once I get it painted:

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Most recently I had my transmission repaired. The part of the casing where the mount bolts to it had snapped off. The aluminum looked like cocaine all around it. Sourced a clean southern US part and dropped it off at a shop my friend recommended. They had to pull the t-case, driveshafts, etc. But they got it done and now my shifter doesn't wag all over the place. Next was alignment and new front tires.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Good lord you weren't kidding. I had to replace my front tires just before AW and it cost $400 PER TIRE for 33s. Cooper STT Pro. Paid almost half that the year before.Bow_Tied wrote:I'd get them sooner than later - global rubber shortage likely coming.Incognito27 wrote:My list of things to do on my Xterra is ever growing , i need new tires

Been looking at these, as well as the Cooper Evolutions. How do you like them? Did you consider the Evolutions?

I didn't get those because at the time my tire guy only had the STT Pro in stock. I had heard enough good reviews from others in this group as well as on some off road forums that I pulled the trigger on them. They are an amazing tire. What blew me away is I couldn't get up the V on concession lake at all with the duratracs or KM2 I had, but with this tires it made a massive difference in traction. They are a little loud but not any worse than my KM2 were. Would definitely recommend them.

Yeah, I don't really drive it so no point in paying for the driving part of it.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Replaced the steering box on the X. Wasn't too bad, I guess being covered in atf from leaking helped loosen things up. Discovered a seized caliper on the front drivers side, well one of the 2 pistons is. That'll be here tomorrow morning and now I'm doing pads and rotors since they only have a few mm left.
