I know everyone on here knows it but Greg is very helpful and answers all your questions. He really knows his stuff. I know he can be hard to get a hold of, but I would say worth the wait. I always found that a phone call was the best way to talk to him.

Installation Video


Armor:
Calmini skid plate
Shrockworks Sliders
Transfer Case Skid
Shrockworks Gas Tank Skid

Hefty Fabworks Front Bumper
Weathertech vent visors - only fronts, tossed the rears

ORTATTW light switches.

Performance:
K & N Intake Kit
MagnaFlow Catback Exhaust - I really like the sound of these and you can find them cheap sometimes. I got mine for around $300.

Interior:
Pioneer Blue Tooth Stereo
USB Port Mounted in Cigarette lighter - Voted best mod on NewX.org by me
Infinity Bass Link
Garmin Nuvi 750 in OEM dash mount
Nissan Brand Gray Blanket stored in door storage bin for the gf.

Snatch strap

Slime Valve Torque Tool
Air Compressor
Horse Power Enhancing Stickers

The Wish List:
Deciding on a front bumper

Nice build thread Scott!

Thanks again for the coffee and donuts on Saturday...an unexpected treat.  Also enjoyed trading Xterra/SCCX stories, always nice.

Hope we can catch you out on the trails one of these days!

The better you get to know John, the lighter your wallet becomes...and the more mods you NEED for your rig....it's strange...

Installed the gas tank skid and transfer case skid last night.

Don't think I am going to be able to use the transmission skid with the drop bracket. Not as worried about this area, since it is up higher. I would have to modify the skid quite a bit to make it fit.

The gas tank skid was the one I wanted most, luckily no problems there.
