Well, I got good news! my sound system is now ready! Also, I'm getting the remote starter shipped to me Wed. so I'll also have that ready for the meeting. Even more! Since I'm gonna be up in Dallas, and I need the Mean Green Alternator, cause my system is that power hungry, I figured that I'll go to the shop in Dallas (xterraparts.com) and get one. Yay! Ain't this an exciting time for my X!

Oh ya! I'll also be joining SWXC!

Cars are expensive hobbies, but it's my expensive hobby

okay, sweet! I dunno when I'll be their, because on Friday night I will be at a "rockin" party... So my friends say... So I might have a rough mornin, but I'll be sure to call you when I leave College Station, so I can tell you roughly when I'll be their and such. And thanks alot for helpin me out!

Oh ya, and my name is Josh

Three days...

ya, lol I'm counting down too... My friend and I will be hopefully installing the remote starter today, and I'll hopefully be spray painting my sub box. I can't wait to get that alternator though, my system reallly needs it. It also needs a capacitor. At night I turn the dash lights and fog lights off, just to lightly power the amp, this is insane! Is the alternator a hard install? In other words, think we can install it at the event? I'd feel safer installing it with a bunch of X guys, rather than my friends.

I haven't done one on the X - but they are generally not a big deal.... if you remind me I cna bring the factory service manual

well the place i bought it from got a manual specifically labeling my wires and such, I guess on paper it just looks hard...

ya, I got all the wires except for the alarm wire. I asked the question in the stereo section to see if anybody can help. I just finished spray painting my sub box, and that was fun.

Town East Mall is located at...

2063 Town East Mall Road
Mesquite, TX 75150

is that the xterraparts.com location?

No, Xterraparts.com is part of Courtesy Nissan which is on US 75 in Richardson. Town East Mall is near Trophy Nissan in Mesquite off I-635.

I'm going to try to get out to this event. A great event to meet everyone at.

Looking forward to it!

Brantley

you better, cause I'm gonna be their! 1 day... I'm in the Aggie library studying for an exam in... 6 hours! yay!

Thanks to all who came. To the three new guys, I had some stuff to give ya, but I forgot. I will mail it to you within the week.

Well, it was a really fun day out, and we were very pleased to meet those who could make it. The weather was nice, and it was a really good time for all. On the downside, there was no free food; but on the upside, there was no need to dig into the First Aid Kit for the Rolaids®. We had a lot of fun just admiring the other vehicles and hearing the funny stories everyone had - and I thoroughly enjoyed the totally cool atmosphere - no elitists in the group, just a bunch of people who love their Xs and seemed to want to hear the latest stories of what ELSE you can use an X for.

So, without further ado, here are some pics and captions - sorry if there are errors in names and such; we're newbies and don't know EVERYONE's names / screennames / vehicles, etc. These pics sure don't show all the vehicles - just the ones I thought to take pics of.


The line-up begins, 2:30PM


Our little SE/SC.


The line-up, looking toward the west.


Check out that Hi-Lift® jack! Just a few pumps of the handle, and the X is UP! I was duly impressed.


hattrik21's very nice X! I really like this one a lot.


Looking hattrik21's sticker collection. I always thought OHV was Overhead Valve - but I guess it also means Off Highway Vehicle.


This one was very cool - an "I do almost anything I want to, almost anywhere I want to" look.


The BOTTLE OPENER BUMPER! I want to party with that dude... Seeing the bottle opener made me realize the First Aid Kit is SO passé.

See next post...

"Yeah, we baa-aaaad..." The Airtec® snorkel was really cool. This X looks like it has lived adventurously, but is well-maintained.


Looking at the back of the same X.


GOXO - Gathering Of XTerra Owners - someone who doesn't like the shift_capslock screen name, traceyragsdale, and Kaiser442.


Ramstein92's REALLY COOL X, seems to have all the stuff he needs, and I'd have to say it struck me as the most organized X I saw.


And who says MEN park better than WOMEN???


Like rats to the dining table leg, these guys performed the entertainment! They gave it a shot to climb the light pole. Unfortunately, no pics of their progress, but it was pretty neat. Also, they were trying wheelies and front-wheel-stands. Only in a Jeep? Sounds like a challenge to the SWXOC!

Again, a GREAT time, it was a true pleasure meeting all of you.

Thanks,
--Rob

Hey

I wish I could've stayed longer cause I was having a real blast just looking at the fellow X's. I would have liked to meet the rest of ya'll. O well another time, I guess. Damn friends had to leave. They didn't really care to much. I guess they were expecting alot more. O well nothing I can do now. Makes me angered though. It was nice to meet the two I got to meet (Scott and Josh). Hope I can come to the next off-road event. Maybe with someone who cares about what we're doing.

Anyone get a pic of my truck? I doubt it, but if you did PM me.

BTW, Herk, My friends wanted me to give you props(Kudos, etc.) for your truck. They were really impressed by it.

Thanks,
Brantley

Thanks Brantley. I didn't take any pics of my rig at the meet so I though I would take one afterwards and post just this one, Thanks to everyone........LIL Herk is so proud.

ya, it was definately nice meeting yall, and putting faces with these internet names. I expected alot less people, so I was happy with the turnout. Right now I'm jump starting my brothers X, thing ran outta batters outta nowhere. Anyway, look forward to future events, and I wish I could attend next weeks offroading event, but I got the renassaince to attend!

Glad you had fun shift_capslock! Great to meet you out there.

Nice pics too.

The truck you're so impressed with is Roger's - XterrainX. It's an awesome truck and he's not afraid to have fun with it:

Daniel actually showed up for something? Wow

I heard you weren't gonna be there BITCH!!!

At least he still drives a Nissan.....
