Well I think it looks pretty damn cool in the side view. I'm not a big fan of Calmini blue though. Why do you have your skid-plate bolts upside down? They'll just get destroyed and hung up on rocks when you take it offroad.

P.S. No multiple threads please. If you have an image problem you can test it with extra posts in one thread. It just makes me have to go clean up your mess since you didn't do it. :nono:

The suspension lift is the Calmini (complete) 3"
The body lift is from Automotive Customizers 3"

Hope that answers your question.
I am open to any others also..

Your rig looks great. I have to agree with Schlud though, I'm not a fan of the calmini blue.

I did not take a picture in the drive way as instructed;
I did take the pic in the garage though, hope I dont get yelled at for this, it is dark outside.

Got the Rear Skid and Shrockworks Rock Bars installed, I will fix the bolts later, just wanted to test install them, I also found someone with teeny tiny hands to help me with the other Skid Plate bolt problems.

Did you have to use longer brake lines with the 3' body lift?

Your skid plates need some "skid marks" on them. :smile:

Yea, Yea
I know, the Skid Plates need skid marks on them.

I just installed them, remember?

Give me a day or two, I'll scar them up nice.

During the install my friend slid mine across the garage floor, laughing "Well they're skid plates, you might as well get started." :biggrin:

Now thats an Idea.
We are still in the winter/trying to break up stage.

The roads are getting in pretty bad shape, the main street in front of my house has had 3-1/2' to 4' of water (standing) the city has been working on it for days, and at the end of the street there has been a virtual river running completely across for about a week, I went thru it today and not being able to see the road, the front end of my X dropped about two feet, so the road has pretty much washed away in that spot and left a nice sized pot hole (more like crater) in it's place.

Didnt hit the skids on that one hahaha, did hit the right front lower control arm though.

Lets see how they are tomorrow.

By the way, I bought a house in a new sub division that still has house going up, most of them are built on marsh/swamp areas in this town.

I am thinking that in another couple of weeks I wont have to go out of town to go Muddin/rock Crawling, I will be able to do that just leaving my drive way!! hehehehehee

Did you have to extend your brake lines with the 3" body lift? If so, by how much?

No, I didnt, seems I was lucky with my Xterra, Didn't need to extend the brake lines in the rear.

The fuel filler line along with the vent hose were extra long and excess was fastened along the top of the fuel tank.

The power steering lines were extra long as well.

Almost seems as if Nissan knew this Xterra was gonne be lifted.

I have talked with people on other Xterra forums, and some of them with 2003 Xterra's had the same things.

The engine compartment brake line coils were extra long as well, they had ten each 3" coil loops each.

There were a few other things as well.

I get so much flex from my suspension lift I put in a extended braided line as the line would max out a full droop. I also put in an extended breather line for the rear diff.
