That's exactly what I was thinking. Taking Todrick's "dream X" . Take your minimal engine mods along the lines of Jackyl's (cam throttle body, headers, exhaust , intake) add to that the dream suspension (7100's? duals? Fox with resevoirs? and all the goodies to get a desired 18-20 inches of travel ) ,relocate the spare to the cargo area with some sort of custom bracket and you are on your way. Just for good measure he decides to get fender flares and pre-runner bumpers fabricated for added protection and a bit of asthetics. (Now he knows he won't rip of the fenders on the 1st jump)

You now have the TODRICK edition Xterra. Pricetag :$6,000 plus the cost of the truck .
Not much , I'd say , to make a very capable desert beast!

You guys are going to tell me that you can do $6,000 worth of mods to a WRX and make it do what the Todrick Edition could do ? One set of whoops and it's history. What comes up must come down. You'd have fenders everywhere. Just how much travel is even available for the WRX?

Apples and oranges.


Damn I wish I had the money or the Todrick edition.

Oh , and Ian I'd love to have the chance to race you in the Todrick Edition. I've been driving/riding in the desert for 15 years.
