Get this. Nissan actually made the 2002 front bumper lower than the 2000-1's. Must be part of that owner feedback they listen to so much.

Sweet! I can't wait for the new "longer hood" for the '03 X!

I know all Xterras have a lot of plastic, but that shot just screams PLASTIC! Never have liked that thing. It looks like a pillow or something.

BTW behind that is the crossbar that we take off (or cut down) when installing ARB's.

I get the feeling that one of the first mods guys that off road are going to be making will be to cut off that thing. I think the X would look better without it anyway.

I agree with the rest of the guys. It would be a lot easier to help you Cheechman7 if you wrote your post in proper english.

When Nissan talks about two skid plates they are talking about one for the engine and gas tank. As warmonger said that "thing" at the front is not a skid plate.

I wonder how long that "thing" is going to last on X's that off road?

That "thing" in the front is one of the 2 skids plates Nissan mentions. The other one is covering the gas tank. There are only 2 stock skids.

X's that offroad should ditch the stock crap and bolt up some Skid Row plates.


EDIT - I guess I am mistaken, we're talking about that POS aluminum looking piece in the front bumper? My bad.

Listen to this...today i went out to morey pit nearby for a little rip session. i have a 02 se which has the new front end and had a bumper/cover on the skid plate. i went to rip through a, what looked to be, easy mud puddle when i dropped into it about 2 feet. my front end bottomed out and my 4x4 pulled me out really quick...come to find out by my friends in a blazer that my cover for my skid plate fell off in the pictues, its the grey bar across the front. my question...WHAT KIND OF A SKID PLATE FALLS OFF WHEN IT SKIDS???

A) Because I think he's scared to run with people who know what they're doing & can clearly describe a part of the X.
B) Because he just told Todd to screw off, and hasn't seen the monster that Todd's X has become.
C) Cuz technically, MAXC membership is closed
D) B/C Oleg would throw a burning log at him.
E) Just cuz!
