SLR's Xterra

Spencer Low Racing sent me some shots of their Xterra. Hmmmm...the Bilsteins are gone. Wonder what those chrome shocks are?

Actually the shot of the shocks are on this one.

Sure is dry in Arizona. I haven't seen a differential that clean since ChuckH's. :D

haha...funny! :finger:

Are you sure those aren't just chromed Bilsteins? I bet they are.

I'm glad SLR is developing stuff, but those bumper thingies they put on their X are really horrible looking and probably not that sturdy. What are they thinking?

Those are still Bilsteins.
The rear shackle is a new 1" to go with the SLR lift.

I thought yellow Xterra guys couldn't get enough yellow stuff on their trucks. :D

I think that they are more for racing over the desert and to stop the X from flipping forward/backward.
I could be wrong though.

Yep, I think those are Bilsteins. I have seen those in some of the offroad magazines. I believe that they have a seperate reservoir that holds the shock's oil/gas. Those shocks are probably much more expensive than the Bilsteins we have been buying. I doubt that they are chrome. You guys think that everything that is'nt powder coated black is chrome :D

They look like the 7100 series Bilsteins:

Nitrogen charged with a Schrader valve for variable nitrogen rates. Apparently the shocks are owner rebuildable and you can get different vaulving kits too. SLR carries them.
