Have fun!!! It isn't that hard and with help you can have it on in a jiffy. I helped andrew out with his tire carrier and we had it on in no time. Also you will have to some shoving as the powdercoating adds some thickness to it. We had to do some light hammering to the swing arm bolt b/c the powder coating made the hole a little on the tiiiiiiight side.

I myself have a FULL set of skids to strap on the X. As of now I am having a bear of a time trying to get the rear bolts off the gas skid. The bolts are really close to the skid and the rear diff/axle is really close to all of it making it a tough reach. But I am determined, I will find a way.

Thats what stopped me from finishing last night, one damn bolt! It was 1 a.m. so I couldn't bust out the dremel or hammer away. Now, it's raining. mad
Is it supposed to be that tight of a fit or.....??

I don't know if it's supposed to be that way, but I had to beat the hell out of that bolt with a BFH to get it through. That worked, but I was wanting an even bigger hammer than the 3 pounder I was using.

Yeah it IS what you will need to do. We didn't have a rubber hammer, so we had to use a cloth barrier so we didn't mangle the top of the bolt. We had my truck handy to compare and because I painted my own bumper my bolt went in easier than his. The powder coat does add a bit of thickness. hammer with ease and lube up baby! You will like the new layout of his bumper, there is more room between the highlift and lift gate now, and the bottom pad is now bevelled.

It IS a thing of beauty!

It's an exact fit, steel to steel, on the bolt and hinge bracket, so any powdercoat in there causes a tight fit.

No need for hammering. Just use a little file or pocket knife or something to remove the powdercoat in the 1" holes on the hinge brackets if it's tight.

Test fit the bolt by itself in the bracket w/o the carrier...easier that way.

Tried that, didn't work. The rubber hammer sure did though! laugh

Got the bumper installed yesterday and it looks great just had two questions.

-The tire carrier part and spare tire lean slightly away from the truck as opposed to being completely vertical. Is this normal?

-How does the hi-lift jack install?

Sorry for the newb questions laugh

Take the bottom pad out of the hi-lift. Store inside your Xterra.

Lift hi-lift, line up the holes to the 2 bolts and use the two wing nuts (tighten), and don't forget to use a padlock to secure hi-lift.

I found its even better to just use the top wing nut/bolt to hold the bottom stand onto the standard...that way its right where you need it, and, taking off the wing nut to take off the standard also takes it off, saving a step.

laugh

I also found the Python Cable Lock reaches through the spare, as well as the standard and bottom stand, and can be put through at the top standard holes to secure the standard and plate, and then through the bottom to keep the slider from moving/being slid as well, and then back out to the spare...so one one lock secures the tire, the jack, etc.

laugh

As for the lean...

Its because you tightened/didn't tighten the bumper mount bolts that way...

If its loose, you should be able to move the tilt by holding it by the jack or tire, and shoving it back towards the truck, or, pulling it back to lean even further away, etc.

Push it back to vertical, and tighten th bumper mount bolts (The ones at the ends that the OEM bumper used)

laugh

alright thanks TJ! It's not a very obvious lean and it feels secure so I'm just gonna leave it like that for now. It's gonna have to come off in a few weeks anyway when I put my body lift on laugh

OK - but remember - if its loose, and you back into something/get whacked from behind...it CAN push the jack/tire stuff into the hatch.

[Uh Oh !]

Well, I just put in my order for the rear bumper and a full set of skids. That dern buy 2 things and get X% off always get me! First time it was the front bumper and sliders, haha.

So Jim, if you ever do make the roof rack, remember to also fab something else up so I can rationalize giving you all my money. [LOL]

Actually, you don't have to store the bottom plate separately, you can use the upper Jack mounting bolt to hold it in place.

That way, merely undoing the upper wingnut that you take off anyway to remove the jack also releases the bottom plate.

laugh



I used a Python Cable Lock, and just ran it all the way through the spare, the jack and stand, and the swing...including looping it down under the jack mechanism, so it can't accidentally be ratcheted down, etc.

(In this pic, the cable insn't where it normally would be around the swing behind the tire...as the tire was being moved around a lot at the time to get between the spokes to line up with the view behind the truck from the rear view mirror)
