Hey everyone!
Just picked up a 2014 Glacier white 4x4 X with 41k miles. Bought it certified from Mossy Nissan so it came with the 100k mile warranty.
I've been looking for a certified (or close to) white 4x4 and they seemed too good to be true, especially in San Diego and Riverside County. its also an automatic and my first suv/truck. I've had manual 350z, 3 wrxs, a few 240s, and a handful of hondas. It feels amazing to finally sit in a vehicle and not worry about which gear I'm in while in SD traffic.
I plan on ordering shrockworks bumper/sides/rear soon since their build time is at 3 months right now.
By the time the shrock stuff comes I should have a 2-3" lift by prg/radflo or similar. Havent picked a kit yet.
Also looking at some 33" toyo or similar A/T tires.
Im really looking forward to joining you guys on some adventures and getting out there with this thing!

Ohh, all other white Xterra guys are going to be happy! Have fun with the build and welcome. A good chunk of the people in SCCX are from the SD area. If you have questions or need help with mods, just put out a call and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Welcome from Pasadena! Congrats on the great find!

Welcome, I'm the proud owner of a white Xterra myself! Ironically, it came from Mossy, but I did not buy it at Mossy. I also had a couple WRX's in the past!
-
Welcome from Murrieta, and congrats on the new purchase! I'm also a member of the white Xterra club, although I think mine is called "avalanche white." As the legendary "Ghost X" (now Geo Yota) once told me right after I purchased mine, the Avalanche guys are the "coolest" rigs out there in the desert - I suppose that applies to glaciers too. O0
If you're free on Thursdays, I highly recommend you attend one of the San Diego dinner meet and greet events, which take place on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Lately, we've been holding them at the In n Out on Community Road in Poway, but keep any eye on this thread for updates because it changes up every now and then: http://www.sccxterra.com/smf/index.php?topic=2699.255
And one last word of advice... It sounds like you're well on your way to a nice build, but beware of that pesky "mod bug." Once it bites you, you'll catch a major infectious disease that will leave you with a tricked-out ride and an empty wallet. >:D

Welcome from Mission Hills

Yeah, the Glacier white is so much cooler than the Avalanche white (all puns imagined).
Welcome, from as far north in SD without wearing camies.

Thanks everyone! I will definitely look for a few meets in the SD area. I grew up in Murrieta from 89-09 and still have some family in the Menifee/canyon lake area I visit quite often.
The mod bug has already bit off quite a bit, but I have been saving for a while. I've been driving an 02 pos civic for the past year just so I can have a bit extra to start with on the Xterra. I've also been lurking here and newX quite a bit so I can get a good idea on whats functional and popular....and so i don't run around asking a bunch of questions that have been answered already ;D
The only downfall of this X model is it didn't come with power MIRRORS so ill be looking to source those componets out from ebay/junkyards etc. But it did come with bluetooth which was a big plus.

Welcome from El Cajon, got my X from Mossy as well. Definitely post up when you're ready to start installing!

yes, but avalanches move so much faster than glaciers. :)

Welcome from San Diego. I just sold an 06 Aspen White Sti before I bought the X. Kind of miss the subie but was becoming too impractical for a family of four

Hey! SORRY, I accidentally put windows when I meant to say mirrors.
I have full power windows, but I need power mirror components.
Thank you for the offer though!!!

Just ordered my shrock front! :D
now i wait.... ;)
Still a little confused on suspension options but i believe I'm going with Radflo kit. It seems like the more i read, the less i know.

if you are in a hurry, i would highly recommend reading the thread on TNX about PRG. seems to be a gamble on when you will get your stuff from him. some have had great luck with relatively quick deliveries, while others haven't been as lucky.

I've never had a problem with Greg?? got my stuff within a week
It's seems TNX is full of angry people, anything they can bitch about

I saw that thread recently.
It totally makes sense if he's shipping out from different vendors and doesnt keep anything in stock.
I'm waiting on my MK6 rims from discount and will probably get my tires shortly after. I'm not too nervous about the time frame, but the sooner the better lol.
Random question...but with only 40k miles do you think my stock leafs will be just fine for a bit with the AAL and shackles that come with the PRG kit? Would hate to replace them with a leafpack if they dont flatten out within the next 20-40k miles.

I call it the Amazon Prime effect.
If you can't get it in two days, shipped for free, you bitch about it.
Greg is a facilitator of Nissan off road parts. All though he does make some parts in house.
If he has to wait for RadFlo or SPC or whichever vendor to make parts, your order is going to be delayed.

Pretty much this....I barely go there anymore. Mostly opinions anyways, according to them I should have died a fiery death already because I pulled my front sway bar.
Go with Greg if that's what you want, he's always been good to me. Shipping less than two weeks when I was east coast. I needed a second shipment and he overnighted for free so I could finish the install.
-
I think I am. I had a connection for ICON parts for cheap, but even with that connection prg will still be the better buy.
-
It was nice meeting you and the family last night at the Food Trucks.
I see a lot of back and forth in this thread about PRG. I can highly recommend PRG. Greg personally installed his original version of the Xterra lift on my 2005 Xterra. That was the Total Chaos UCA with Radflo in the front, and AAL in the rear. After he installed the lift, he aligned the front end with a tape measure and a crescent wrench while it was sitting in his driveway, and that alignment held up for probably 50K miles - and a fair amount of that was off-road. Greg can sometimes be a little tough to get in touch with, but he offers great customer service and advice.

Don't know if you already pulled the trigger on your suspension - if not, I recommend you actually call Greg at PRG - tell him your current and future setup desires. He will guide you on the best suspension for your vehicle use (overlanding, rock crawling, etc), even if that means selling you LESS product. Not always easy to get ahold of him, but always worth it - dude knows his shyte.....
Now, that's just my opinion, and we all know about opinions......LOL >:D >:D
