Well I really like the hidden compartment I installed under the passenger seat for smuggling 'fireworks' from Ol' Mexico.

As well as my window mounted cup holder.

J/K Hell I'm too poor to add any mods besides the explorer 2 tent and screens to the front windows to keep the bugs out.

CosmicX,

I just installed the steering stabilzer this weekend. It is night vs. day driving the X now. I should have done it along time ago. I got mine from Todd at EOE, web page .

Cutting down the tall (manual) gear shift and getting rid of that ugly circus tent that covered it.

dave and xtoy - what were they thinking?

You probably have some worn steering components then.

I just removed my stabilizer, and can't tell the difference.

Maybe you have a worn out stabilizer, there are many, many people who have felt the benefits of a steering stabilizer.

Can someone describe the benefits ?

Better on center steering is about all a stabilizer is capable of doing. It will reduce bump steer somewhat, but in doing so, passes those forces on to other components, which is what I believe is wearing out center links faster.

Anyhoo, I'll be running with no stabilizer next week on some very rocky trails. I have a brand new centerlink installed, and we'll see if it survives the trip. I've had no trouble wasting one in a few days in the past.

Helping bumpsteer is a major benefit, especially if you drive where there is lots of construction on the roads, varying surfaces and off road it helps to prevent the steering wheel from getting jerked side to side violently, etc.

What forces is a steering stabilizer that is running parallel to the centerlink exerting on it? What kills centerlinks is the force the tie rods exert onto it at an upward angle wearing out the crappy plastic bushing in the idler arm pivot.

After ECXC there will be a third solution to the steering problems Nissan's are known for.

Is there going to be testing at ECXC? If so, I'm going under your truck with a flashlight whilst you sleep .

It's already in test on two X's, by ECXC there will be 5-10 more sets in test and with the terrain Paragon has to offer that's some good real world testing that 60+ X owners will be able to see in person.

Good strategy...
Keep it Low-key until fully tested to prevent any questions. I look forward to seeing it.

Where's my bumper?

My favorite mods? Calmini cat-back (side exit) exhaust system, K&N off-road aircharger system, Aries grille guard and taillight guards, and Garwin Streetpilot GPS.

Ian,
I do not know how the roads are in Colorado, but here in New Jersey the are filled with ruts, potholes, cracks, etc. So far the stablilizer has improved the steering wheel from jerking from side to side in these type of hazards. Of for its offroad capabilities I cannot say yet. I will be testing it out in two weeks at the ECXC.

TatsuoX, I like the Sportster Bar on your X. Can you please provide a link for the company or where to buy it? Thanks.

I have to agree

Mine would be added lighting. Under the hood so I can see what I'm doing at night. Then comes tires and all the good stuff.

My cheapest,most practical--and useful mod has to be this ...(all proceeds go to Illinois Dept of Transportation)

I always have used my ashtray for coins. Since the 2002's don't have one, I bought this from xterraparts.

No problem. It offers all the benefits of a brushguard(place to put lights, looks sweet) without the negatives, IMO.

Scroll down on this page to the selection for Nissan. I got the black one(bought it from another member here), but the silver(actually, silver & black) is sweet too.
