Title: Greetings from a Pro4X owner photographer
Post by: kurt765 on October 26, 2012, 08:25:06 AM

Hello there. In March 2011 I bought a new Lava Red Pro 4X to be my photography vehicle. Having previously owned a little Corolla, I figured this new beast would take me places the Corolla would die trying. I love it.

I hope to get some rock sliders (White Knuckle is the current thought) and some more armor underneath so I can go out on some more crazy trails :)
So far I've added wind deflectors, hood deflector, weathertec matts.

Hello!

Welcome!

I know it's super short notice, but more than a few of us will be in Big Bear this weekend and if you could make it I'm pretty sure you'll have ample opportunities for some good 4x4 pix as well as some good insight as to what to do w/ your rig!

Greetings from San Clemente!!

(p.s. Watch out for that GhostX guy....especially if he offers you 'candy') ;)

Welcome! Glad to see someone else has chosen the best color in the Nissan lineup!

Welcome...love the photos!  :)

Would you like some candy?

If you are thinking about rock sliders, check out Rugged Rocks.  Theirs are really nice. 

Pro-4xGremlin has them installed and photos on her build thread.

Welcome!!!! I have to say, that color is my favorite, besides STORMTROOPER White, of course. Looking forward to meeting you.

Beautiful pics.

I have the Pro4X as well. I got my sliders through RuggedRocks. Originally I was going to get White Knuckle. But, then went through RR.  In the IE

Hi Kurt. Welcome to SCCX.

I checked out some of your photos on Flickr, you have some great stuff there.  I really like that Saline Valley shot that you posted.  You picked a great color X taking photos by the way.
