Here is my attempt at a build thread to join the ranks of so many awesome rigs out there. My wife was the original owner and I inherited it when our son was born. I sold my 04 supercharged Frontier and VR6 Jetta and the wife got a 15 Cherokee Trailhawk. So as my Xterra is about to hit 120k it was time for a suspension refresh. Last weekend I finally had some time to install some upgrades. I decided it purchase the GoneMoab 3" kit from Nisstec as they are a local company (Denver area) the kit is customizable and I kept mine with the entry level MK84 coilovers (Eibach 550# springs but I'm not sure who supplies the strut body)with a 1" spacer and SPC control arms (SPC is also local, Longmont), I with OME med duty springs and adjustable shackles in the rear. I had a 2" coil spacer and an add a leaf in the rear for the las 5 years and was starting to show its age. The rear leafs were almost completely flat and 3 of 4 shocks had been leaking for some time. For wheels and tires, they are 285/75R16 BFG KO2s around some Level 8 Guardians. Back in August I installed a set of Hefty Sliders. For right now the factory skids will have to hold up, as upgrading those isn't high on my list yet. Also have a Midland CB for the trails. Here's a few pics, some new , some old. The first 3 are what I have from the new lift install . Unfortunately I forgot to take some ride height measurements of the previous set up. I'll continue to go through what few pictures I have to make a thread of the Xterra and our adventures exploring my beautiful state of Colorado.
