Jeff Arabia says that these holes are called SPEED holes for the racing circuit.
but..... on the rock crawling circuit they call them COOL GUY holes :)
-
Outstanding!
Looks good Chris. Super clean, the hard part is keeping it clean so take all the pics of you can of it now!
-
That lower section is nice! Did he make that or did you buy it? It kinfa looks like the Calmini pre-runner set up chopped up and re born.
-
he made all of it. The rock washers unbolt to allow an oil filter change.
-
Two words: wow.
-
Where did you find the red Eibach springs? they only made them in silver now.
-
That is too cool Chris....

I bought them last year. they have been sitting in my garage for a while.

When my rig grows up, it can only hope to keep up with this beast.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

I know ....I know......
Hey Chris your tires look small :):)

Seriously...your tires don't look that small.

Good call!!
Thanks, I heard that higher Altitude does a few things to the Halogen gas and makes the lights dimmer ;) ha-ha
But seriously, Its a good idea to check all your lights, especially before a night run with any aftermarket lights. A few inches of lift make a huge difference.
-
Dang! Truck looks impressive! Hope I get to see that thing in action someday.

too cool... :o

Chris, while I am laid up, did a little research for you on ham testing/licensing/brick and mortar outlets for you to check out.
Start here, at HRO (Ham Radio Outlet), easily the most recognizable brick and mortar retail outlet:
HRO Sunnyvale, CA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ham-radio-outlet-sunnyvale)
Now, I did a little research on amateur radio clubs in your area Chris, and this one caught my eye. West Valley Amateur Radio club, and if you scan their schedule as I did, you will notice they hosted a meeting to discuss "EmComm for the Apocalypse" This sounds like a group right up your alley. ;)
WVARA.org (http://www.wvara.org/)
Here's a few more helpful links for you to check out:
Palo Alto Amateur Radio club:
PAARA.org (http://www.paara.org/)
Loma Prieta Amateur Radio club:
LPARC.org (http://www.lparc.org/) (this club actually had info. on classes on their home page)
Good luck, and feel free to text or PM me with ANY questions you have.

Beautiful Chris. So have you figured out what to do with those plastic endcaps on the rear bumper? Whatever it is let me know..
-
Still sport'n the purple diff cover. Looks awsome Chris.
-
Looks like bulletproof badassery. ;D
-
A relocate EVAP canister means end caps are in the works.

Damn Chris that is nice workmanship.
So how high will the spare ride? I.E. How much of the rear window will be obscurred?
-
Is this a one off? Can I get one too?
-
It is now a one off.
however if you want one, now would be the time to order it.
stay tuned for price. it may be expensive. (he did alot of evaluation of the possibilities)
second one may be cheaper since he knows what is possible .
Also the fab is fresh in his and his teams mind.

The goal here is to mount a 35

True badassery!!!

Chris...what is the purpose of the schlong like down tube?
-
Limits potential flexing issues. If the carrier flexes towards the cab, the carrier mounted tube makes contact with the top of the bumper and limits flex.

With a 33" MT tire mounted

Before anyone says anything about obscuring the rearview, this is now a trail/camping/expedition rig....NOT a daily driver.

This honestly confuses me.
Flex where? If a bumper is built with 3/16" steel, where would the flex come from? Swingarm/tire carrier?

Well, I also like the higher mount for a steeper departure angle...can't tell you how many times my Calmini/Shrock spare tire dragged in Moab. Enough to wear a hole in my tire cover.

Failure? Never! :D :D :D

Mount tabs for D-rings

Jeff put this welded tab on the cross-member and wont tell me what it is for till it comes back from the powdercoater.
He also says it is not for a bottle opener :)
GeoXplorer stopped by and guessed what it was immediately.
any help from you guys as to what this could be for?
it already has a CB mount tab and HAM mount tab.
Oh one last thing .....
the Donkey dong was removed and another short tube welded in at the hinge area.

Jeff put this welded tab on the cross-member and wont tell me what it is for till it comes back from the powdercoater.
That is a true work of art! Has everyone but me figured out what the welded tab on the cross-member is for?

I need to do this.

when I pulled into the dealer the guy came out and said hey Chris.
you know you need a need timing chain?
i said no I did not know that.
he said listen to the sound ( engine running with a really high pitched whine)
did you think you suddenly got a super charger?
:)
I was at 95K miles
I hear its 1.5-2k $$ i'll let you know what the damage is....
-
Wow Chris,
I wonder if there is a class action lawsuit in all this, every rig:
1. Fuel Sending unit
2. Timing Chain
What else is a fact with the Xterra like death and taxes? Is it poor engineering?
-
I've had the whine for a while. I was quoted 1.3k. I then argued with the guy about replacing a part that's supposed to last the life time of the vehicle at 70k miles. I'm pretty sure I can swing this myself.

they beefed up everything after these early ones started wearing out.

Progress report.......
Shock skid installed with bolt instead of self tapping screw
I love that when I take it to Arabias, they fix everything ...even poorly designed aftermarket items.
self tapping bolts should not be used for stuctural items(IMHO) and Arabias thinks the same way.
Say all you want about how your sliders are just fine with self tapping bolts but I'm not in agreement......
Front and rear brake pads replaced(hattip Brian cherry hill Nissan)
Front and rear diffs fluids replaced
Front bumper is off to the powder coater...

Remove front bumper and repowdercoat "Black"
Fix and repair belly armor mounts bolts sheared off
Run air line from Warn powerplant compressor intake to engine air filter box
Install InSainFab rear Corner panels on body
Install stop chain and bungee on rear bumper swing out arm to prevent hyper extending and pulling strut apart (the Grooters mod )
Install LED's for reverse lights in rear "badassery" bumper
Install aluminum engraved "Arabias Overkill" hawse fairlead to replace roller fairlead on front bumper
-
Looks good Chris.
Since your going through a fabricator, why not have him build proper boxed mounts instead of reinforcing that lower. The upper mount is especially crappy on our rigs because the shock is only held on from one side. The lower mount can be raised up out of the way while the upper can be raised the same amount to maintain shock travel and articulation

Still need to order a second ARB refrigerator slide bracket and second ARB transit bag .
For those asking if I can see anything out the rear view mirror. ....Not much.
But this is long range planning for the Deadhorse trip in 2017.
Most likely the second fridge will go in the trailer.

Looks good CH. I really like the secondary storage behind the rear seats. Good place to store recovery gear or tools that you (hopefully) don't need to get to as often as your food and camping supplies. Good use of otherwise wasted space.

You guys are so fancy!

If my guns were not tragically lost in a boating accident I would put them in that area behind the seats :)
