Has anyone heard of a kit to remove the spare tire rack underneath the rear and install a 2nd fuel tank? 19.4 gallons is just never enough.
I also plan on installing 6 (or as many as I can fit) HHO generators that convert plain water into a flammable fuel additive to give it some more mileage and power. I've heard some people have increased mileage by 60% and increased HP as well. Has anyone tried this on a vehicle with a supercharger? I would think it would increase the effect.
I am also considering the calmini 3" lift for my 2002 SE-SC, is this the best full kit that you know of?
I've heard good things and bad things about combining 3" suspension with 2" body lift, what are your takes on this? I want to get as much clearance as possible.
Also: This is my first X, and the one I have says ACTION XTERRA SE SUPERCHARGED on the rear. I have never seen another supercharged X with ACTION written on it and I have never been able to find anything online about it. Just wondering if anyone here knows.

1. No. And yes, 19.4 gallons is not enough.
2. What? Not going to touch this one. But bear this in mind -- when have you ever seen, heard of, met, or experienced a credible review of someone getting a bonus 60% mileage increase?
3. Not necessarily. Bear in mind a "full kit" on our trucks should include upgraded steering as well. Mostly depends on what you plan on doing with your X.
4. Again, depends on what you're using your X for, as well as tire size. Are you going for looks or function?
5. Never heard of it. If I had to guess, I'd say "Action" might have been the name of the dealership where the X was first purchased.

Sweet truck, my wife loves it haha. the short bus lol. fun field trips!
I've already met people who have put the HHO on their X now, i'm not expecting 60%, people have done that with mini coopers etc, but if i can get a few extra MPG and lower emissions/better performance then I'm going to build one, people have been doing it for years, old news.
I'm going to pick up the calmini lift and probably 2 or 3 inches extra... I'm not a fan of big wide tires, I'll probably just pick up the BFG all terrains like everyone else has cause I drive the thing to work and have used them on other vehicles. I'd like to trim the fenders to get some bigger tires but I want to keep it looking sharp. Also want to pick up that roof rack everyone is using. Maybe a few engine mods, but that supercharger sounds sweet when you're in 4 low going up a really steep hill! I noticed my rear tires fully locked but when one side gets totally compressed it unlocks, I'm very impressed with the stock 4x4 system, but of course i'd live to put the dana 44 on the front end one day! I have been totally stuck in the mud in the thing already, my street tires just didn't cut it!

Yeah I like that lift, how big are the tires? Did you have to trim anything other than the lame flaps?

The tires are 32x11.5. I had to a little trimming on the flapps but that's it. I think. Maybe a little on the front plastic as well.
