Just got home from driving the rig from PA to CO, UT, AZ and NM. Total trip was almost 6000 miles including about 500 miles off-road. Everything went as planned and the truck performed flawlessly including spending 5 days off the grid deep in the Canyonlands. The Goal Zero solar setup was...

Back country in Canyonlands NP this past week.

It was! My first X SE cost almost as much as my 15 P4X!

I couldn't wait to put the truck on some of that sweet sweet red dirt in Moab so I detoured on my way from Boulder CO to SLC UT to catch the sunrise at one of my favorite points. Headed back down Friday for a week of backcountry exploration.

I drove it from PA to CO then over to UT. I'm in UT for the next 10 days then headed down to AZ.

The mount is just "The Bracketeer" from here: http://www.thebracketeer.com I just ditched the outer arms from the kit that usually attach to the seat rails and used (2) 3/8" Adel Clamps to clamp the center section of the bracket to the round bar that runs under the front of the passenger seat...

Got my Tepui Hybox RTT and had to get creative on how to get it onto the truck. A couple hours and some 2x4's later and I had a gantry crane to assist in the heavy lifting. Since the Hybox is 165lbs I didn't want to mess with having to have 2 people put it up and take it down multiple times to...

Lighting & Roof Power My goal was to keep the "essence" of the stock P4X roof lights, since I do have a soft spot for the retro look of the round lights as opposed to a big ass Millennium Falcon light bar up there. Between that and wanting to keep the stock functionality of the existing switch...

Thanks! I need to post up the rest of the build pics but it'll be complete this weekend and I'm headed out west starting next week to put it through it's paces :)

Got the Trigger Six Shooter bluetooth relay installed which is a pretty slick bit of kit. Allows you to not run wires for your switches into the cabin since everything is bluetooth controlled, which also means you can use the phone app to turn the lights on/off, dim, strobe or whatever you want...

Got the newly painted corners mounted up and they look great. I have a new set of door trim I need to paint up this weekend and swap out to match, but with the satin black grille it'll all tie together. Also, I got the stock roof rack off...wait for it...without spinning a single rivnut ::happy...

Pulled off the rear plastics, cleaned them with 409, soap & water and SEM Plastic Prep before spraying them with SEM Adhesion Promoter and satin black SEM Bumper Coating. Total of 8 coats and they are curing for the next 48 hours, but they should look good on the black truck. I did the actual...

Raingler roof net, I never realized there was so much room wasted up against the ceiling.

Bumpers were built by Cory at Hardcore Offroad here in PA. Super nice guy and great fab skills. Got the bumper mounted and the winch installed. Neither was easy. The bed liner finish on the hardcore bumper is so thick that it actually pushed the brackets beyond tolerance of going together...

Intro Comments: Hello there! Friends call me "six" and this is my build thread for the 5th Xterra I've owned since pre-ordering one of the first 700 SE's to ship in October of 1999. I've had an X (or 2) in the driveway every since. I am an Executive Creative Director, designer and professional...
