Another guy in an Xterra in DC - 16/10/06 09:45 PM
Hey guys,
I've been looking for an SUV for a few months and have finally made a purchase. I'm involved in a few other online car forums and know what a wealth of knowledge they can be, so I thought I'd post here and get to know the gang.
My Xterra is a 2006 SE 4x4. I was also considering an FJ Cruiser but the Xterra far surpasses that vehicle in power, appearance and price, so I'm very happy with the purchase. Paid $100 over invoice from Tischer Nissan in Laurel MD. Vehicle is equipped with the Sirius radio, tow package, airbags, automatic transmission, steprails and splashguards. The main purpose of the Xterra will be daily driving while pulling double duty as a track car support/tow vehicle, so I hope the towing performance is adequate.
I love modifying my other vehicles and couldn't resist the temptation here. I have ordered a brushguard along with some Hella lights to mount on it, as well as the tail light guards, a clear bra and a few other odds and ends. I'm looking at replacing the speakers, there don't seem to be too many options for upgrading the speakers on the Rockford system - does anyone know of any component sets that will plug and play replace the OEM door speakers? Also looking at some high quality HID lights - not crappy knock offs. Are there any kits?
Overall, I'm very happy with the vehicle and my purchase and I hope to be a member here for a very long time!
