Yes , I just picked it up on Saturday night. SLR trailered it to Palm Desert and we met there.

I have to have the ride height set and get it re-alligned after that and we're good to go.

It swallows up bumps like they aren't even there. Very nice ride.

The spring rate wtih the sway-a-ways is a little soft but it will have to do until I get the 300m bars.

Plus it looks amazing.

I'll get some new pics up soon.

If you can make it out there by Sat the 6th we are leaving Vegas by 10:30. I'd go Friday and see the show though.[/b]
Sounds like fun, no way I will have my truck back by then, it's still sitting under a tarp in my driveway.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! [ThumbsUp]

For years I have lumped you in with Todrick as all talk and no action. wink

I am glad to say I stand corrected. [Wave]

I look forward to seeing pictures of another Southern California Xterra being first in making the leap into prototype status. laugh

Still wondering why you would want to do this. From what I've learned just in the last week, it appears the pinions are likely the same, but one of the pinion bearings has a larger OD on the newer diffs. If you use the older pinion with the newer bearings (same ID I believe) it should work.

Sorry. I've been busy with life and I don't have a camera. I will borrow one and get it done.

Did somebody say Las Vegas to Barstow race in two weeks? Come awn now let the wagering begin wink We could always wager concert tixs with socal [Smoking]

Cyclemut… yeah i was just thinking about buying the customized "DIY' Zig-zag version with the crossbar assembly to fit the distance between the springs I'll use and weld a bracket on the frame that would be needed. Pretty sure you will have to ditch the stock spare location underneath, but I'm not going to use it anyway since I will be running 35's.

For the front if the CALMINI kit doesn't come with some sort of sway bar, I'm planning on putting one in like a currie anti-rock through the frame with the arms down to the axle

Jr… chill fixed my typo, had the URL correct from the get go so people could check them out [Too much XOC]

OffroadX… thanks because I have access to 5.14 gears out of a pathy 3rd member for relativity cheap laugh

Koalakilla…yeah super black is what everybody else drives [Spit] Like to be a bit different, nickname my trucks and customize them, look for some custom hawk graphics soon.

I have the route loaded and am ready to go. It's actually Las Vegas to Victorville though. However it does cross three dry lakes (maybe dry anyway) and has waypoints listed for gas 'n stuff along the way.

Allright. So I finally got a chance to get out and test the X and take some pictures. It really performed well. Taking bumps and dips with a lot of controll and I was able to get it in the air a couple of times.

So here we go:

I was really impressed that I could run over little washouts and ruts and hadly notice due to the droop:



Same hole with a little droop:

That was all SLR right? Looks good. [ThumbsUp] You need to come back to AZ for the Parker 400 it is a Baja style race in Parker, AZ. AZXC is planning to be SAG support and we get to run the trail a few days early. It would be cool to see the LT.

It was a prototype that Calmini did for a pre-production Xterra.
