Uh what are you building that thing to do? How the hell does the engine handle that Nos? And how the hell are those tires street legal?

Oh yeah what lift do you have on it? smile

did u hit a shopping cart??? Do your other hobbies include flushing money down the toilet?

Doesnt look that bad tho. Maybe a little poser. Especially the NOS.

Trane is my logon at work, I couldn't remember my password for this logon.

I mostly use it for thrashin' on the dunes and plan to start sand dragging it soon. Tires are for sand use only, I have 2 other sets of tires that are street legal.

It's got 6" of lift, 3" Rancho suspension and 3" body lift. Needed the clearance for the paddles.

What exactly do you mean by poser anyways?

By the way, thanks Superjens for the webspace to post pics, I couldnt fgure out how to use my ISP webspace.

Ok so again, how does the motor handle that Nos ? Or is that Nos can that new Sub made by bazooka. Ya know the one that comes in a Nos bottle but is a sub.

Re: Check out my ride - 17/07/02 07:30 PM

It's a basic NOS Fogger system. I've only ran about 5 bottles through it so far, but these Nissan motors seem to be pretty tough. I installed NOS for a little extra on them big dunes. I also had a custom dual exhaust built which eliminated my cat converter. Add lots of high end power that way.

DUDE!!!

That's a pretty sweet ride! You win, most toys on the X! Take comments in here with a grain of salt...

So, any videos on the dunes?

Welcome to the boards!

Lose the bra. The Xterra doesn't need any support up there. Seriously, what's the point?

And those lens covers have just GOT to go...

other than that, it's.... interesting.

what's that bumper thing on the front anyway?

Just a tip, Ouray is tiny, trying to navigate an RV and trailer in town will be interesting to say the least. Main street has a 15 degree side hill.

Matt, have you looked at the roof of your Xterra lately ?

Re: Check out my ride - 17/07/02 09:06 PM

Don't loose anything... you have a unique taste that is very distinguished and refined... personally, I love the bra and lens covers! No where near to a poser look!

The bra probably helps with any metal trimming needed. Love the front mounted bull bar. And, most of all, the Thule Rack (finally someone else with one on! I love mine!!!)

Show us more!!! Interior shots, tire set ups, etc. What size meats are you running in all 3 scenarios?

Videos... hmmmmm... Make sure to post them in the videos section. I hope to see some serious eek

Re: Check out my ride - 17/07/02 09:10 PM

I personally like the lens covers... I think they would look super sweet on someone's blacked out Xterra! smile However, Ive never been a big fan of nose bras... I would think that sand from the dunes would get under that bra and seriously scratch up your paint...

HAHAHHAAAAAAAA - Don't forget the Supercharged Sticker on the 2001!!!

Re: Check out my ride - 17/07/02 11:14 PM

Nice roof rack.....is that the Thule Play Pen??

I like the camper too. My dad has an old Argasi he want's to give me. You've just inspired me to take the thing off his hands smile

Enjoy!!

Re: Check out my ride - 17/07/02 11:28 PM

hey next time u post my pics try to ask permission first. Thats the proper thing to do. And those pics are about a year & a half old. If u really want poser i should get some pics of this xterra around here with 20's. Sorry if i offended u even tho i said nothing to u.

And by poser i meant a lot of crap on a truck but doesnt use it. Not until a few posts after mine did it come to my attention that the truck is used properly. So poser no more.

It's a screwed up Photoshop job. One pic is backwards and the other isn't. Now the other pic is backwards.

OK, forgiven... just teasin' ya!

His X is a new breed... the only other one I can think of that can perform similar to his is SLR's truck. Maybe even AC's... oh, and AirChia!!! laugh He is probably the first to throw NOS -> on it, for the right reasons too!!!

More pix... videos... pleeeeeeease!

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 05:37 AM

I can't say I've seen an X like that before. The only thing - if you're running it in sand, doesn't it all get in between the bra and body? I would think you'd have to take it of after every trip to shake all that crap out of there.

Let's see some vids cool

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 06:22 AM

that is a good looking truck. Where do you run it? It is against the law to run in the dunes down here...the ecology is to fragile, kill the ecology and our dunes blow away. Just wondering

That looks like an awesome place to run. I especially liked the picture

Bet in Oregon you have to have a pretty thick wetsuit. Great looking peak splitting both ways, nobody out...drool,drool.

Your dunes don't seem to have vegetation growing on them, that was what I was concerned about. OUrs does, and as a result we can't drive on them.

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 08:06 AM

Sand does get under the bra, and everywhere else, but I'd rather use my truck the way I want than worry too much about the paint, besides, I got a good auto body man that helps sponsor me.

The bumper was made by my fab guy, Taylor Fabrication in Medford, OR. I beleive the original design was for BroncoII's, but he modified it to fit my X. This is actually the 2nd one he made for it.

I dune in OR, mostly in the North Bend area, but ocassionaly in Florence and Sand Lake. Also attend the Sand Flea Rally in Tillamook, OR in 2001.

I'll try to get some more pics up soon, although the inside isn't anything special, I guess I can take some pics. We should have some good video footage after Dune Fest which is the first week of August. My web page designer is supposed to come take "professional" video and have our web site up and running by the time GOX starts.

Thanks for all the cool coments. Even though my X is a bit different, I love it, use it, and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

My local dealer is one of my sponsors and said they would port and polish the head and install a hi performance cam, not sure if thats what I want to do though. Would only cost me $50 Labor and $150 for the cam, seems like a good deal to me.

Oops, late for work, gotta run smile

That definitely begs the question: why have the bra at all?
Posted by: surfingteacher

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 08:55 AM

I have a bra for mine that is sitting in the garage. For my old job I drove 60 miles a day, highway, and I was getting the paint chipped off of the hood right over the grill and around the headlights. Now that I only live 5 miles from work and no highway driving, i don't use it. So maybe he is protecting his paint from rock chips.

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 08:59 AM

I was actually the first person in my area to own an X. Shortly after alot of peolpe started buying them. The bra was an inexpensive way to set mine apart from the rest. Now mine stands out, but left the bra on partly cause of the faded paint, and cause I kinda like it on.

So, now maybe we can get over the bra thing, you think???

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 09:03 AM

Hey AWWear, PNWX was down at Sand Lake earlier this year. Too bad you didn't come join us we would have loved to check out that truck. Maybe sometime in the future ..
Posted by: AWWear

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 09:32 AM



I browsed the PNWX site a little last night Superjens, I am new to using a computer, got a friend helping me out a bunch.

This is a picture of a Xterra shirt I had printed, was wondering what people think of it. I sold 50 of them to my local dealer already, and the dealer plans to get some Xterra shirts made for them to give away also. I am an embroiderer and silkscreener by trade.

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 09:41 AM

Trane/AWWear -

Nice looking ride. You should try and get a photo done like the one of Russ on X of the Week.

I am curious on your bumper. What tubing was used? I like parts of the design and am just interested in the tubing size. I miss Oregon, but do plan on spending some time on the Coast this fall (Depot Bay end of Oct.). Might just have to take the X out on the sand.

As far the Bra if you have guy that will to the painting, black out the front to look like it has a bra but you won't have to deal with the sand. You are going to need to paint it eventually, why not sooner than later?

Nice custom ride.

You may want to go to that link and read the comments... It's VERY local! Evidentally, Pipe master Gerry Lopez was even messed with when he surfed it. PRICKS!
Posted by: surfingteacher

Re: Check out my ride - 18/07/02 10:17 AM

I was thinking that if I was with another person from Oregon, that they would no be so local, but if they messed with Gerry, than they don't care who you are. Unless they just messed with him in hopes that rumor would get around and stop anybody else from coming. Oh well, what is the chance that I will ever end up there...long way form Texas.
