how much did everything end up costin
?

Good question if you don't mind answering.

Total for the entire swap?

Need to know how much I will be spending this fall.

Sweet! Any pics with the X sitting on level ground?

That's awesome.

How does she handle on-road? Steering feel/control, body roll, etc....

I have a bad case of envy.

That is nice, no, really great. Nice Job!

Carlton,
I can't believe you painted your drums "calmini blue". Your Xterra is a piece of poo and could never out wheel my Jeep. I am thoroughly glad I gave up on my X instead of waiting for the SAS kit.



Still need to make it back to Moab again. You all have a safe trip.

John
Carlton..PM me if you still want me to make that decal.

And you guys are mad at me......WTF!!!

<--------JEALOUS

holy shit dude! that is one bad ass f'in truck if i can say the least, awesome job man, two thumbs WAY up

Too bad I've had a beer with the guy and feel like I can yank his chain, and in reflection, I really do wish I still had my X. No one likes a tattle tale.

Good looking X Carlton, I will make the suggestion to paint the drums blue when I start at Nissan Monday.

John

yup... love my Jeep XJ, but the Calmini Kit makes me want to pick up a 2000 X and SAS it

No kidding. Wish I never would have sold mine. My gf still has a 200, immaculate, but 2wd. Hmm..thoughts of a 4wd conversion come to mind.

I've got a picture of it - its not on flat ground, but the jack stands are under the axle, so the suspension is compressed.

when do we get to see some shots of it in MOAB?

I think I have to go home from work early...I just creamed my pants...

tom

nice carlton. were the sway bars on and did i hear that you broke an axle?

swaybars were on all week. (minus the rear one)

Yup. Broke a front axle shaft when I wedged a tire in the crack. Calmini gears + tire wedged in Golden Crack = front axleshaft broken at the splines.

Pics to follow.

For those of you doing the upgrade I would suggest getting the Superior Crom-moly axle shafts. Part numbers will be in my write up of the event.

Very nice pic. You can see the frame flexing. Keep em comming.

I hope not ...you mean the suspension I think

Wow! THat is real impressive. The X as a vehicle just keeps getting better, with a few minor mods .

CM it looks like you tried a differnt line then what Ive seen before. (?)

holy shit.....hot

i want that, along with an X

He left out that he snapped the u-joint on the other side when he put it in reverse. Later tugging him over stuff in 2wd his tires got wedged and bent his tie-rod.

I little frame flex is normal with any vehicle. I'd be surprised if the frame weren't flexing with it that crossed up.

ouch! how did it steer out of there?
