can anyone recommend a good after-market company that makes siderails for the xterra? i dont want to go with the nissan step rails cause i've heard too many horror stories about them denting/braking very easily. i need something that will give me easier access to the roof rack, while not loosing any ground clearance. a simple black metal bar underneath the doors would do fine. any thoughts?
i have an 05 Xterra.
thanks,
abi

I'd recommend the Shrockworks, but some people prefer the closer line of the Calmini. Search for more info.

Thanks. I like the look of the shrockworks shrockbars better than the Calminis. Plus the shrocks will be compatible with my 05 starting May. Gotta start saving up!

Todd @EOE is building his garage to start the business back up. He has good sliders. You can contact him through www.maxc.org (http://www.maxc.org). His user name is FSRBIKER.

Did you verify that with Shrockworks? I wouldn't count on compatibility. The Calmini's aren't.

The following was taken directly from the ShrockWorks website:

Compatibility:
NEW! 2005 Xterra & 2005 Frontier coming April '05
Nissan Xterra: 2000-2004
Nissan Frontier: 1999-2004
Hardbody Pickup and Hard body style Pathfinder

I assume the ShrockBars for the 05 X will be out soon.
