Looks like a good clean rover! You've got some good plans laid out. One thing I would add is the center diff lock for sure!
Can't wait to see you build this thing up!

That really does suck! However, it could be a good time for a diesel swap! I never had my head gaskets go but I was constantly worried about it, to the point where I drew a mark on the expansion tank for hot and cold...then monitored it daily. My wife was so annoyed lol she made me sell it, and...
I love this build! But with everything you've done, Any thoughts on swapping out the front output shaft of the t case with one that has a cdl? I would love to see this thing with the center diff lock!

Mine was a limited. I had a lot of problems with her, she had the wonky fuel gauge, flashing 4wd lights, an electrical gremlin, and full of rust underneath....none the less it was a tank and just kept going!
I would look into seeing when the timing belt was done last...if for anything just...
Very sweet looking rig! I was in the market for one about a year ago but i couldn't find one in my area that was worth it. Some of the 5.7 hemi's Have Quadra drive 2. With that you get Electronic limited slip front and rear diffs, which locks both diffs if there is slippage.

I love these little rigs! There's a guy in my town who had one shipped in from somewhere..."I just happened to see it on the truck driving through town." he's the only one around that has a vehicross, and rocks it like a champ! I can't wait to see what you do with it!

I've got the rave manual in pdf form on my hard drive...I used to have it on my phone. I can get it for you if you need it.

All d2's 1999-2004 could possibly suffer head gasket failure. There's several other things to watch out for with them. You have the three amigo lights. "Abs, tc, and hdc" in which only a special scan tool will give the codes for. Also the front drive shaft, the a.c. lines drip right onto it...
There's not a whole lot on ocracoke now, so I bet when your grandmother was a girl there was probably next to nothing other than an amazing beach, sound front, along with some peace and quiet!!! I'm jealous!!!

Looking forward to this build! Obx is one of our most favorite spots as well! There's quite a bit of good ol trails on southern part of ocracoke if you haven't down there yet.

I love threads like these! My first 4x4 beater was a 1987 trooper...but it only took me a few places. The rig that got me started in taking me all over the East coast was my outback wagon!!! I beat that thing up and down the coast for years!!!! I loved it!!! This pic was the our last adventure...
Nice gutter guard turned screen for your back windows! I would've have never thought to use that.
Looking forward to reading more!!!!

I've had 2 xterras as well, a 2004, and a 2009. While I like the look of the 2.5 gen xterra the 1.5 gen is a way more solid rig as far as reliability is concerned. I sold my 2004 with 165k on it for $7k and it was very stout, the 2009 "135k" I traded in because the rear diff went out and it...
