I also received the last of my PRG stuff, and am putting out the call. I have UCAs, Radflo front coilovers, new rear shackles and new rear shocks to do on mine. I think I really only need help with the UCAs, especially since they're used and I don't have any instructions for them.

I'm free this weekend if we're looking at turning this into a full mod day. Just need some peeps with the brains and experience to show up also (knightrider? RBDuffer? Toro? Motorpig77? GeoTaco? Anyone else I missed? (I only left out Celt because he's not available on the weekends :()

Let's do It!  I am wide open this week, up to and including the 26th.  After that, it's hit and miss for two or three weeks.  Starting with Jay, let's post up availability now, for any other projects and or helping hands/brains. ;D  Thanks guys.


PS Can one of you tech guys please open this in a new thread?  Thanks again.

I'm not in town this weekend. I can help the following weekend though. My place is also available but I know it's a bit out of the way for most.

I'm open this weekend if you want to come to the OC.  I can also help if it's going to be a that Duff's house, just need an address.
Be careful when you follow the masses..... sometimes the "M" is silent.

Nothing too major...just a slick little MOD from OffRoad Gorilla.
Joe, did you get yours installed yet?  Takes 10 min or less.  ;D

Agreed! And it looks like the rods are well out of the way for when working in the engine bay. Do any of the 1st Gen guys know if there's a kit similar to that, or a DIY method? I still need to scour the Xterra forums for it myself.

Looks great Jay! :)

Alex - Here's a link to a 2nd Gen DIY method. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's a good place to start so you can see how people are pulling it off without the brackets that Offroad Gorilla had created: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1313

Completed several mods over the past week:

Installed PRG rev2 upper control arms, radflo 2.0 extended travel coilovers (with 650# springs) and PRG adjustable rear shackles on Saturday 7/25 at the mod day at Duffman's house (with help from tons of others! Thanks everyone!).

Also installed 1.5" wheel spacers, and completed the melt mod on Sunday 7/26.

Today, I installed my Offroad Gorilla no-drill hood rod mod kit. Super easy and worth every penny!

Also today, I installed my Vigg Designs hood blackout. It was quite a project by myself, but removing the hood made it easier. In the end, it came out great.

Out with the old - poor man lift setup with Bilstein 5100s, front lift spacers and rear shackles (to be honest, this was a great setup!):

Looking good with the new stance and blacked out hood:

That looks great Joe! How much difference do you feel in the steering now with the spacers?
Thanks for the link: I'm thinking of asking Offroad Gorilla about how plausible it is to fit that 2nd Gen kit to a 1st Gen, else I'll use that to go DIY. :)
