What mod's have you guys done..... that...

You feel were worth every penny and every second it took to do.

Summer is over so I'm done riding my bike and spending money on it so now it's time to move into the garage and spend some time on my X.
I'm just looking for some ideas. Oh and it's Friday and I'm bored at work.

BFG AT's - Approx $520 for a full set.

Okay, I'm sort of bored too so I'll mention a few. Now remember, my X is only a 4x2, so my mods are mainly cosmetic. Anyway, I have the Sgt. Lobo shelf mod that's probably my favorite, CB and antenna install using an ARB mount on my rack, cell phone/GPS/CB mic holders in various places, removed my mud flaps and step rails (no money cost there), bought 31x10.50x15 tires, rubber stubby antenna (another favorite as weird as it sounds), cheapy off road lights I bolted on my bumper (mainly for night fishing and kayaking purposes), pocket mod (cheap mini-mod that's pretty functional using pockets I've cut out of old cargo shorts), red map lights (for work purposes at night so I'm not blinded by the super bright regular map lights), AA maglite holder, visor organizer (just a cheap something to hold documents, air gauge, and other small things), Rubbermaid cargo box (not considered a mod, but it was cheap and it has saved my cargo area more than once), roof top cargo bag (again, not a mod, but something I keep in my cargo area that has made life easier), and that's about it. Looking at getting other sort of unimportant things like a marine gas tank to put in my gear basket, Thor mod, DVD player and monitor for my kids during long trips, and who knows what else. If my X was 4WD, I would focus more on performance mods, however considering I mainly stay on pavement about 90% of the time, I thought I would stick with things that would benefit me personally.
Of course, I have a LOT of little things I keep in my X too that aren't considered mods, but more like "just encase/incase/in-case" items and camping gear.

Rocksliders..

Bumper and winch..

gears..

tires.. lift.. bla bla bla

Definitely the sliders and skids and lift, to get me above trouble and help protect me if I don't get above it.

Tires have helped out as well. Yep....the winch has been a saviour a few times. Wanna try out the locker a few times more before I comment on it's usefulness (but I think it may a worthwhile mod).

So you can see , it's still pretty much stock.

I love my truck. I'm totally cozy inside It sounds cool and I think it looks pretty damn cool too. It does everything I ask of it , and I've asked a lot. Every dime I've spent on it is well worth it in my opinion.

That is untill the day comes that I want to sell it and don't recoup a damn thing.

OK, on my 2000 4x2 Xterra most of the mods were cosmetic/poser. Now that I have my spanky new 2003 Super Charged 4x4 SE which is of course the best Xterra color (Solar Yellow for those who think different) I'm going to concentrate on more useful/functional mods. So far I have installed a Safari Basket, Class 3 Receiver with a Hitch Haul Carrier, HKS Intake, Cat-Back Exhaust System, and 4 roof mounted Hella 500's(in-progress)
My wish list includes See Thru Wind Deflector, Shelf Mod (Sgt Lobo?) 3 Inch Body Lift Rear Air Ride Suspension for when I am using the Hitch Haul, Rock Sliders, Better Tires. Bla Bla Bla Etc. Etc. Etc. and whatever else I feel I can't live without.

Instead of listing $12,000 in stuff, I'll keep it simple.

Bilstien shocks

BFG M/T's

Those two things you will get the most daily use out of! Most everything else is "window dressing" until you use it!
