PlastiDip on the grill didn't turn out too well. So, I stripped it and used Duplicolor Bumper Coating.

I Bedlined the rear bumper, as well, until I get a "real" bumper.

Definitely a nice bike, I've been toying with the idea of getting into Mt biking, got a couple of co-workers that are into it.  I've gone out with them a few times before on a rental bike, so this summer I've either been saving for a Mt bike, or the Titan swap.

Decisions Decisions...

In my opinion, mountain biking is truly the all encompassing sport. You get sense of accomplishment of the climb, you get the thrill and rush of the decent, you get amazing exercise, and you get to see a lot of the country that most people don't. It's a lot like wheeling, without the exercise part.

I've always hated the twang of my antenna in tight squeeze.

Here's my fix. $14 at Pep Boys. Simply unscrew the factory twangy antenna, screw on the new shorty antenna using the appropriate adaptor.

Thanks LAVA!!

I have awful reception, but I had bad reception with the stock antenna too. It got A LOT worse when I switched to the stubby antenna. It doesn't bother me because I listen to my IPod or Sirius.

Installed my permanent antenna mount today.

Used a Firestik Adjustable Hatch Mount with a 3' Firestik tunable antenna.

Ran the cable through an existing hole on the hatch

Hey guys, I realize that this is not the place to sell an Xterra but she's for sale.

It's been a blast but I never drive the X anymore because of work and mountain biking. My wife is tired of climbing in and of it and is over lifting our daughter in and out. Not to mention filling it up with gas every other day.

So if you guys know of anyone that wants a well cared for, well equipped X, with low miles, give me a shout.
