Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
You are a better historian than I am. Point being, it is something to keep in mind when we are doing thousands of dollars of modifications two are luxury SUV's. I've seen people spend more on upgrades then those guys spent on their Model Ts or As [emoji12]

Fist was the Modle A Ford. Have ever looked at what people had to fo just to drive on the "main roads" in 1927?

Same thing, just lower. It puts the 1/4 wave CB whip at the same height as the UHF/VHF.
I played around with a longer whip with the mount on the rear step. I thought I could do this with tuner but could never get it to work very well on most bands.

Sorry. Kind of catching up.
I run an 857 and love it. Once I start doing HF I really don't spend a lot of time on repeaters any more unless I am doing a service event.
I use a typical dual band antenna. For UHF/VHF. One of the Diamond ones. For HF I take a quiver of Ham Sticks for the band's...
Once I cranked them back down and dialled them in I would say they are a big improvement. That's saying a lot because I was really happy with the original Bilstein shocks that came with the Xterra Off-Road.
Lean from my mistake. Install them and try them out first. Then adjust from there. I...
Well no you are not that far off.nthe new set does not use tne spacers. If you look at it, the shocks are about the same lenght.

First I have heard of this. I am 10 years into my X and have had it every which way and even air born a few times (most not intentionally). Never even gave it a thought until now. If ignorance is our strength, you have made me weeker.

That was kind of my thought but if the proof is in the pudding then the pudding is good. Any one who has done the lift I originally did with the spacers can tell you about the CLUNK that one gets in tbe upper control arm. With this set up that is all gone and I still gained half an inch of...

I would think about a different place for you Hi-Lift. If you were to get in an accident you might find it in your lap. That is a lot of metal to have going though the windshield.
Just a thought.

I finally got time to do the front shocks.
After 130k it was welk past time.
So I decided to do a bit of an upgrade. This was my first time using ever using an adjustable shock and boy I learned a lesson about them.
I had ordered these to accommodate the moderate lift I have but...
It looks like I am a little late to this conversation but it alsi looks like there were not to many Xterra fans weighting in.
I love my 07 Off Riad Xterra. I have 130k on it. A LOT of those miles are some rough Sonora Desert and Rocky Mnt trails.
I have always been amazed at just how...
I have an 07 that we bought with a baby in mind. We ended up putting a lot of miles on it before we finally had our daughter.
My little 4 year old girl loves "Daddy's Truck".
I have not had any troubles with car seats or doing multiple days of camping including a long trip from Az to Wyoming...
Yes. I should have done them a lot sooner. I was able to compress the old ones buy hand. I was pretty much riding around on the leaf springs.

Rear Shocks.
I bought them back in Nov. and finally got some time to put them on. I got 120k out of the stock Bilsteins so I upgraded with some new ones based on recommendations from Paul at PRG.
Just driving over some local neighborhood speed bumps I can already tell there is a huge...
I'm confused. Were you trying to find Nowhere? You could try for Nothing, AZ. https://goo.gl/maps/7rb2Jt2rA2S2
