How about a "Wall of Shame" for those that mod their Xterra's to the point of useless? I know each of us at some point have passed another Xterra and been like WTF? This happened to me the other day and luckily I had my camera on me. Here's my entry into the Xterra Hall of Shame.



Completely chromed out with bug netting across the chrome brush guard and his lo-pro Potenza's are about 10K past replacing.

I would have taken several shots of it but the guy was a high school kid and there were some personal things written on his windows so I figured I'd at least give him that respect of privacy.

I usually don't reply to this kind of post, but thought I would today. And yes, I have my flame proof suit on.
The way I look at it is at least he shares in the same love for vehicles as we do. True, I would not have gone that direction with my X, but then I know plenty of people who think I'm nuts for all the things I have done to mine. So in the end I would say to whoever owned that X "Good on you for doing what you want, and can I have a loan since it looks like you have more money then me." :p

If your not making the payment then what does it matter to you? Most here dont mod their trucks that way but its his and Im sure he likes it so leave it alone. Alabama must be more boring then I thought since you took the time to take a picture.

I think a wall of shame is a great and funny idea. But here's my thought... if we're gonna open up this can, let's really open it and put up pics of all the blinged-out pretty-boy SUV's we see out there. I know I have seen plenty of "JAOS" whores out here...

- Three cheers for the hall of shame.

Saw this one on the road the other day, thought it was pretty funny

Dang this is looking good already.

Well for the first picture ..... I'll take the blacked out tails .... the rest OMG .. having a grill guard atop a bra .. dumb ... then the rims .. wow the rims ...

Now for the second picture .... it needs to be lowered .. if having the front and rear lower valence .. then u'll need the side skirts .. .. woo wait we're talking about a X not a 240sx ... or something .. Jack that bitch up and run some mudders.

Just my 3/4 cents

... Just search on "Village Idiot"

These trick $9.00 walmart lights are welded onto the door so that they point to the sky when the door is open.

Ahhh yes badercamera.

If people are going to put chrome rims on, at least polish them, or put them on a black X, chrome on yellow??

So to those I-respect-what-he's-trying-to-do-ers, where do you draw the line?
Is this okay to do?

If not, then why to an Xterra?

There's a slammed Gen1 X with that same Tangerine-flake paintjob somewhere.. I've always thought it was well done , compared to say, the OP's pic.

Why would I, you, or anyone ever judge what's O.K. for someone to do and what's not? I'm really not a religious man and haven't been to church in many many years but hell, we definitely don't have the right to judge or say what's ok and what's not.

If someone likes, it - be it. Simple, really.

I love how everything on XOC is a debate. Everybody shit talks everything. Someone posts a pic of an ugly truck and people get offended. I love it.

Here's a great look'n Jeep.

the orange jeep looks good, the one above is just hideous... well, at least it's loved by the owner, if no one else...

Here is a 4x4 X bling blingn

No kidding man. Take a deep breath and relax people. Take it for what it is... something to give a little chuckle in your day. Nobody is hazing the guy for what he did. Being this is an offroad dominant forum, the contrast of the vehicle is humorous in my opinion. Nobody is hazing the guy for what he did to it. Glad to see there are others who were entertained.

Sorry I can't see it as a morality issue, more of just stupidity.
Can my fat friend tattoo a pic of his hero Hulk Hogan on his entire back? Sure. But know that I will never stop making fun of him for it.

It's a lot different than the kids you were playing w/ on Myspace before you found us, huh?

I am a church-going guy, a devoted Christian, and I have no issue with this. We're having fun at the expense of vehicles. That's it. There are no pictures of people. And I figure as long as we keep it and our comments that way, why not? If we take ourselves too seriously, what fun is there? Heck, I'm not afraid to admit that before I was an Xterra owner, I owned and drove a royal blue Geo Metro. No joke! People called it my girly car. I called it "The Beast" and I had a huge yellow "California Offroad Club" sticker on the back window. Ahh, memories.... :rolleyes:

Dam...might as well, just save some $$$, and just put some Aluminum Foil over the Wheels...it would look the same....

Uh...

Given that there's a Chevy Astro on the right side of the pic, a Lowes store in the background, and what appears to be a Ford Escort in the Lowes parking lot, what else would you expect to find? Do you need a 3" lift to get around the Lowes in Alabama or something? It's not like you're taking this pic on some hardcore offroad trail - you're in a parking lot.

I love it. "I was cruising the mall parking lot in my Xterra when I spotted this 'useless' Xterra..."

On myspace it was pure stupidity. Here I believe it's more ignorance. DBAX believe it or not..your one of my favorite people on here. You usually tell it how it is and you have a bit of an attitude which I can appreciate because I am the same way. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, I'm sure you and I think it's idiotic, but the owner of the car does not. Let them do whateverthefuck.

but the owners dont know we are bashing their cars haha its just funny pictures, not a big deal everyone. just see them as funny pictures and laugh a lil bit.

You guys are all jerks...but I can't resist posing judgement on others.




bottom line...modding is fine, whether you're lifting or dropping, adding mud terrains or low profiles...the problem is when the modding is just done bad (see photo above)

To each his own, they probably make fun of my rig on their boards...

I don't know what you're all complaining about. This guy is obviously an off-roader. I mean look at the picture. He's gotta be... what... 7, maybe 8 feet off that road. What a maniac! Whooo!

Everybody has an idea of what they like and what is "FUGLY"

Just this morning my wife had to drive my X to work so I could have the windshield changed in hers.

She walked through the door to the garage singing the Delivernece dueling banjos song because she thinks my truck is so redneck

I love makeing her drive it

Hmm... my wife's daily driver has 35's... compared to my 33's. But atleast I don't have snow blowing in from a hole in the 'rag top'

Here it is..

FWIW, I think a 2wd X lowered, makes more sense than a blinged out jeep..

That is a sexy lookin'....Xterra. I mean look at the nice, big, beautiful rims.

Timmy likey. Timmy likey very much.

There's an Xterra in that picture????

Okay DBAX, I think you win. I seriously didn't even realize that was an X the first couple times I looked at it . That thing is so friggin' ugly they had to put a half-naked chick in front just to keep people from puking. Good Lord.

Now Really?...Do they really need those Side Steps...Things that make you go, Hmmm ?

I totally disagree . I posted that to show (IMO), what a streeted X looks like when done right. Owner of that truck may have spent just as much $$$$ to get those results as I had on mine.. Good for him, or her .

I like the color. If the yellow ever falls off mine, and I can convince my wife that its a good idea, I'm going orange.

I think we can all agree this is supreme Xterra defilement:

Yeah, thats pretty bad.

Not to put too much thought into why he/she did that, but how are you supposed to use those grab handles when the are attached to the outside of the door? When the door is open, the handle does you no good!

I'd be more curious to ask the owner why you'd need a wing to slow down one of the already slowest trucks on the road.

If you look closely above the tailgate's handle it's got a "sport" sticker on it ... good for 45 hp at least!

It's also a limited. I hope it's limited to only that one.

That is the worst one ive seen so far haha...I think id rather have it lowered then have that GIANT POS on top haha.

There is an Xterra in this picture?

I like the "sport" emblem on the hatch.

What does it say above the Xterra logo?

S.

Don't you remember watching the A-Team when they'd sometimes stand on the step rails while the van was in motion, or in the movies when S.W.A.T. team members are being transferred by black SUV's they ride on the outside. That's what those handles are for im sure.

I think it says "BOZO".

i don't know what they think but it's very ugly
how you can do this to your X ouch!

Not as fugly as the others, but what do y'all think?

I think it needs a shrock bumper up front so its armored in case it ever needs to ram a car running from the cops! If I was a cop, thats what I would want to drive, unless of course there was a lambo cop car in the fleet.

DEF needs to be armored up..would be awesome haha.

"you can only arrest me if i get to pick what route we take to get back to the station..."

Hah, a lambo won't get you very far in NYC especially near the first pct. It's right outside the holland tunnel where there is nothing but traffic. That is a SICK x though..
