Cool Jason, or meet for coffee or ???
Stone Brewery is just a "stones" throw from my place in Escondido (they serve coffee there too ;))
I lived in Brooktown for four years, cool place.

Hey your X looks awesome. I wanted white but couldn't find an off-road edition so went with black. Seeing what you have done with yours is inspiring. Keep up the work.

John, I'll let ya know when I plan on being back that way and we can hit Stones up.

The only thing I wish is my X was a 4x4 but that will come soon enough

So, that BEAST is not 4x4?
I'm guessing it will handle almost anything you throw at it!!
Wow man....good lookin rig!!

So the X is down. Stupid power steering reservoir and cooler line is leaking. Looks like a $200 plus repair. Just another repair that is delaying the swap.

Those are awesome! Do they hardmount to the rails and can you make them lockable? Id be interested in one to store some "stuff" inside that is valuable that I may not be able to carry on me at all times...
-
Yea they hard mount to body of the X through the rails. I have to modify the rails alittle and they get bolted down by a bolt that goes all the way through. And they could be lockable able and made so you can't see in them.
Oh with they way they are mounted they don't rattle at least that I've noticed.

Yup in the process of it. A lot of work removing the front two cross members and planning the rework of them. The big one is the trans support and figuring out how to mount the tc up there. A lot of fab work coming up

Are you 3 linking the front?
What side are you running the upper arm on?
Are you trussing the diff?
What kind of joints are you using?
..... I'm geeking out. So many questions..
What length shock are you running?
What kind of steering box are you using? Going Hydro?
What size tires will you be running.
Will you be building your own frnt drive shaft tunnel?
Did you get a bender?
How thick will the arms be?
Will you be removing the body lift?

So I had huge set back today. $2300 worth of parts are going back and I'm on the hunt for a new axle. Long story short 97 dodge dana 44 have worse aftermarket support then our C200k. The parts I ordered would have worked but they don't. So yea it sucks. :(

This is ideal. Expensive, but it's all there. Geared where you want it and locked. Has knuckles and shafts.
It's a JK so your ABS electronics and speedo will keep working.
Seriously, jump on this tonight!

Wow that's a lot of mula
What tire size are you going to?
If 33s you can't you do a HP dana 30? Throw some good shafts in there. We have gusset and truss a few of these axles. They are reasonably price and parts are easy to come by..
-
OK so some junk yard searching I found my new axle. Needs some cleaning up and rebuilding but it's better.

Definitely looking forward to the final product. This is going to be one very capable rig!

So today I gave in and took the front, rear axles and transfer case in to get rebuilt. A week to week and half turn around time and all for somewhere around 600 to 700 bucks.
Once these get done it will almost back on the road again. And with those out I can work on things on the X at the same time.

Next is the driver side shaft which should be in next week and along with additional springs to finish the coilovers. After that it's time to run steering lines and brake lines for the front and install the rear axle and new shocks the send out info for drive shafts front and rear. So close now I can almost seeing her driving again.

didn't see any bump pads or bumpstops yet. You planning to run Hydro bumps?
-
I'll be running bumpstops or pads just haven't got them yet and where I'm have possible contact. Later I'll upgrade to hydro ones.
-
Cool I'll keep that in mind thanks
Let me know, I work near Miramar but can meet up.

So she is on her own height up front.

-
Badass, how much travel are you going to have?!
-
She looks awesome!
-
The shocks are 12" travel so she will have some major flexibility.
The only issue I'm having now is the way the 33's look on her. They are brand new so getting 35's aren't really an option. Unless someone want to buy these tires ;)
-
Oh those are 33's , no wonder it looks so high
-
Yea only 33's but she is still super tall. I'll try and get a height measurement today.
-
his center hoop is eye level for me and im 5'7"
-
Good lord that's tall. You got some sway bar for that thing? Can you adapt the jeeps quick disconnects to your setup?
-
What's it measure from the ground to the bottom of the frame?
-
Holy moly: if there was one So Cal 2WD Xterra that should be 4WD, it's this one.
-
It is sitting at 24" right now with no rear axle in it.
-
With that 24", you should look at 37's. My rig is 22" from frame to ground and I'm on 35's
-
24" sounds about right. You might be able get it a little lower
I'm at about 24" on 37's w/ 6" of uptravel
-
I'm waiting to be able to drop the rear axle in and that will help get a better idea of the height. But I'm trying get rid of the 33's and go up to the 35's. Once I sell the 33's my tire guy will throw a set of 35's on her and then I'll go from there.
-
So the X is on her own weight again! The axle came back from the shop.

Wow very impressive. How close are you to rolling?
-
Next week I should have drive shafts. So if all the brake lines stuff comes in I can move her by the end of next week if all goes well.
-
Gonna bring it on the Bradshaw Truck trail with everyone?
-
I forgot you guys have that coming up. Sounds fun!
-
I forgot you guys have that coming up. Sounds fun!
C'mon down for it!

If all goes well and I can finish by then I will.
-
If all goes well and I can finish by then I will.
Great I look forward do see you and your big fellow ;D
-
Get it rolling Jason...worst case, this is a 2WD trip for you and you can roll over everything else. ;D
-
Well since the transfer case is in and drive shafts should be in next week. I'll have 4wd I just have to figure out steering lol.
-
So I took a pic standing back bit to get a better feel on how she sit now. And on side note so far she rocks just like before I did the swap. So I should be good with no sway bar still.
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/26/ec54ef01acdc82e2d832c26cb7483b1c.jpg)

So the boy just did a computer drive by on me when I was looking at this. He pauses and looks at that pic you just posted. He says, "Wow that's a pretty lifted or small tired truck."
The world through a child's eyes......
-
I think your ready to take on the next moon landing
-
I do need bigger tires but I made the mistake and ordered my tires with my original plans and well things didn't go quite to plan. Ended up higher then planned. So may be stuck with for a little bit. I'll be happy with her back on the road.
Moon I'm going to Mars lmao
-
So I now have a working parking brake!! And both axles are filled with fluid and ready to go. Drive shafts will be done on Monday so they'll go in then and she'll be ready to move on her own power. Just not steer yet. That's being worked on. But the shifters are almost ready too.
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/30/af8e124ea436bc83aa6d44678ffcab3a.jpg)
Getting closer to the 1st test drive.
-
She's looking real good.
-
I can hardly wait to see it in action. ;D
-
Looking good Jason.

-
Eww... : The drive shafts :D :D :D ;D
-
double shafting I see
-
The 1st ever my X ever had a front shaft.
-
I REALLY admire all the work you did. Not only the SAS but doing it without a kit and going from 2wd to 4...
Great work.
I missed it, is the Hydro assist in already too?
-
Did you put 3.1 reduction gear set in your 205?
-

Thanks a lot. I'm fabricator at heart and prefer to create something different if I'm gonna do it. Like this project. And at the end I can say I did it all.
Did you put 3.1 reduction gear set in your 205?
No its stock ratio. I didn't have the funding for that at the time. Now I'm way over lol.
-
No more steering nissan steering pump
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/10/b5c31246583d80f87108ce3e77dd53b2.jpg)
-
What are you replacing it with?
-
A high performance Toyota one from psc. Then modifing the stock pulley to fit the new pump to run the stock belt. Oh it will have a custom mount that I'll make do it will fit on the motor in the stock area
-
Are you still shooting to have it all done in time to make it to the Bradshaw run? It's creeping up pretty fast. :o
-
I'm still trying to get it done by then. All the parts should be in by Friday or Monday... so if all goes well I could possibly have my 1st test drive in a little over a week.
-
Nice... I've been wanting to upgrade mine but I haven't found anything out there other than hydraulic assist. I'll be interested to see your set up and try to figure out something for my Gen 1.
-
So the new toyota power steering pump showed up along with steering line stuff. Now I can get to work on that stuff.
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/24/2f10868386f589dd977ab7a75e7d711b.jpg)
Also something else

So any one want new 33s? ::)
-
Those coopers are great tires. Too bad it's not the right rim size for me.
-
So the 35s are on the X.

-
:o Even the 35's look small on that beast!
-
Once I get it out of the shop I van get a better pic and maybe the 35s won't seem so small lop
-
37's!!!!!.....I mean 40's. The 35's don't even go into the wheel well
-
So made some progress today. All the brake lines are ran just need to be bleeded and that system is back up and running. About 90% of the steering lines are ran. Just need two connectors and 6' of hose to finish up those lines. Then I will connect the steering shaft. Next week I hope to have her move out of her stall for the 1st since I put her in there about 9 months ago.
-
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/07/f5b0f9c71dd9260423d3c00925d5b9e3.jpg)
She is out of her stall finally!!!!!!
-
That's lookin real good...
-
She's huge... Can't wait to see her on trail.
-
I gotta agree she is huge. And it is something else driving her. It is way different lol.
-
Can't wait to see her
-
So after yesterday test drive I found out I still have some brake issues that need to be fixed. Parts are on order to repair the caliper on passenger side and some more brake line fittings to fix a few leaks. I also have to see what the shift linkage is hitting to see why I can't shift in rear high now. Then I think figured out the vibration noise I'm getting from drive train. I think it's cause the transfer case is hard mounted and the rest is soft mounte. So I'll be ordering parts to fix that problem soon.
-
Well its official my X is 4x4 now! I just installed the front drive shaft so everything is connected. Now just have to fix the brakes.

Nice Job, Have you done the hard mount yet??
-
Well the hard mount isn't the best idea from the reading I've done. Since the motor isn't hard mounted. I'm looking into how the 4x4 mount the transmission
-
nice
-
Looking good Jason! 4x finally!

Thanks it's taken forever lol.

So since I could do much work cause of the weather I worked on front end. I got all the lights hooked back up and winch is back up and running. Also got the ARB compressor mounted with the other thing to for the locker and on board air hook up.

We're going to the hammers when it's done right?

I'd be down with that.
-
We should get more people together to go play out there too!
Keep us posted on the build
-
That would be fun. Once I'm ready to go out there I'll let everyone know and we can plan something.
Next week I'm going to try fix my brake issues and also my drive train wobble. Then I can deal with all the warning lights lol
-

Problem solved. :D
-
C'mon John, don't insult all of Jason's hard work doing this project from scratch.
It's a beautiful X. He needs to use white tape for his whited out X ;D
-
Lol. Good one. But I don't think white tape will fix the speedo problem
-
So was finally able to get working on the X again today. Got the custom Trans mount in took care of the wobble. Got the brakes bleed out and have most of the pressure back. Just have to bleed them again. Hooked up the front abs sensors and even though I don't have tone rings up front I got my speedo back and some warning lights are gone. But I blew a hydraulic line so tomorrow I'll look at that more and see what happened and where it broke.
But I'm getting closer I think.....
Here's a pic of the mount.
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/10/ff3710e1bb99ba350806f468cea57e1a.jpg)
-
That's a pretty hefty looking mount
-
With a np205 behind the stock Trans I kinda need it lol
-
She is alive!!! Drive train wobble gone for the most part. Very little is there. Brakes are good. Speedo is working not sure how off it is yet. I put a new battery in a blue top in with 900 CCA.
Tomorrow the X goes in for a trans fluid flush and then Tues it will get its alignment.
-
So major set back. Got the X to the shop barely. I have a bad steering issue. It pulled right then I turned right then it over corrected it self. So I had a buddy who builds off trucks look at it. And he said that he could tell the angle of the caster was off. I told him I had it set at 7
-
Sorry to hear about the setback.
-
It's all part of the process. It's sometimes a pain lol
-
So there other day I went to move my X and I can't get the shifter to move into gear unless I use that shift lock tab thing. Doesn't unlock with the brakes pressed like it should. Also now my horn doesn't work when I hit it but it goes off when I locked the X. I have no idea what is going on now.
Any have an idea other then she is just pissed off lol
-
That blows!
If you ever want an extra set of eyes for anything, let me know.
Hope it's just a dead battery causing mayhem.
-

Brand new battery so it's not the battery. So I think it's fsm time. I hate that thing.
cool thanks. I may need an extra set soonish.
-
So quick update since it's been awhile. I have figured out why a bad wondering in the front. My panhard bar and steering link were parallel to each other which was correct. But the issue I forgot about was they should have close as possible to parallel to axle/ground. So that will get fixed next week once I get the steel in the make the fixes.
Then my drive train vibration was caused by the trans bolts being stripped out. I guess the factory bolt holes in trans don't like the added weight of the divorce transfer case. Yes that is on its own mount but it all kinda flows together with the weight.
So maybe next week she'll be driving down the road again.

Wouldnt that Interfere with your driver side up cycle? You planning to do a drop pitman?

No interference with travel. The view makes look closer then it is. I'll take better pics tomorrow when it's all put together.

Ok so today I put her back together and took her for some circles down at the bottom of my place got full lock to lock with no issues of steering lag, no hydro assist. So I took her on the street to get some speed only did 30 mph and I got my shaking back, but she track semi good for not having an alignment. So I think I have to check my shims in the rear axle to see if that helps and also Im gonna double check the location of the Transfer case. Then I have to relook at where to mount my hydro ram since the mount will make contact on level ground turning so flexing will break something. So yea....
-
The X last trip with me. It's on its way to her new home in CO
