Just picked up a 2014 Glacier white 4x4 X with 41k miles. Bought it certified from Mossy Nissan so it came with the 100k mile warranty.
I've been looking for a certified (or close to) white 4x4 and they seemed too good to be true, especially in San Diego and Riverside County. its also an automatic and my first suv/truck. I've had manual 350z, 3 wrxs, a few 240s, and a handful of hondas. It feels amazing to finally sit in a vehicle and not worry about which gear I'm in while in SD traffic.
I plan on ordering shrockworks bumper/sides/rear soon since their build time is at 3 months right now.
By the time the shrock stuff comes I should have a 2-3" lift by prg/radflo or similar. Havent picked a kit yet.
Also looking at some 33" toyo or similar A/T tires.
Im really looking forward to joining you guys on some adventures and getting out there with this thing!
here she is

If you're free on Thursdays, I highly recommend you attend one of the San Diego dinner meet and greet events, which take place on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Lately, we've been holding them at the In n Out on Community Road in Poway, but keep any eye on this thread for updates because it changes up every now and then: http://www.sccxterra.com/smf/index.php?topic=2699.255
And one last word of advice... It sounds like you're well on your way to a nice build, but beware of that pesky "mod bug." Once it bites you, you'll catch a major infectious disease that will leave you with a tricked-out ride and an empty wallet. >:D

Welcome, from as far north in SD without wearing camies.

The mod bug has already bit off quite a bit, but I have been saving for a while. I've been driving an 02 pos civic for the past year just so I can have a bit extra to start with on the Xterra. I've also been lurking here and newX quite a bit so I can get a good idea on whats functional and popular....and so i don't run around asking a bunch of questions that have been answered already ;D
The only downfall of this X model is it didn't come with power MIRRORS so ill be looking to source those componets out from ebay/junkyards etc. But it did come with bluetooth which was a big plus.

Yeah, the Glacier white is so much cooler than the Avalanche white (all puns imagined).
yes, but avalanches move so much faster than glaciers. :)

Hey there , I have on hand a right front and a right rear window regulator with motor that I'm selling....
Hey! SORRY, I accidentally put windows when I meant to say mirrors.
I have full power windows, but I need power mirror components.
Thank you for the offer though!!!

now i wait.... ;)
Still a little confused on suspension options but i believe I'm going with Radflo kit. It seems like the more i read, the less i know.

if you are in a hurry, i would highly recommend reading the thread on TNX about PRG. seems to be a gamble on when you will get your stuff from him. some have had great luck with relatively quick deliveries, while others haven't been as lucky.I've never had a problem with Greg?? got my stuff within a week
It's seems TNX is full of angry people, anything they can bitch about

It totally makes sense if he's shipping out from different vendors and doesnt keep anything in stock.
I'm waiting on my MK6 rims from discount and will probably get my tires shortly after. I'm not too nervous about the time frame, but the sooner the better lol.
Random question...but with only 40k miles do you think my stock leafs will be just fine for a bit with the AAL and shackles that come with the PRG kit? Would hate to replace them with a leafpack if they dont flatten out within the next 20-40k miles.

I call it the Amazon Prime effect.
If you can't get it in two days, shipped for free, you bitch about it.
Greg is a facilitator of Nissan off road parts. All though he does make some parts in house.
If he has to wait for RadFlo or SPC or whichever vendor to make parts, your order is going to be delayed.

Go with Greg if that's what you want, he's always been good to me. Shipping less than two weeks when I was east coast. I needed a second shipment and he overnighted for free so I could finish the install.

I see a lot of back and forth in this thread about PRG. I can highly recommend PRG. Greg personally installed his original version of the Xterra lift on my 2005 Xterra. That was the Total Chaos UCA with Radflo in the front, and AAL in the rear. After he installed the lift, he aligned the front end with a tape measure and a crescent wrench while it was sitting in his driveway, and that alignment held up for probably 50K miles - and a fair amount of that was off-road. Greg can sometimes be a little tough to get in touch with, but he offers great customer service and advice.

Don't know if you already pulled the trigger on your suspension - if not, I recommend you actually call Greg at PRG - tell him your current and future setup desires. He will guide you on the best suspension for your vehicle use (overlanding, rock crawling, etc), even if that means selling you LESS product. Not always easy to get ahold of him, but always worth it - dude knows his shyte.....
Now, that's just my opinion, and we all know about opinions......LOL >:D >:D
