Hi Guys and Gals!
Name's Anthony and I'm from Long Beach, just picked up my first xterra last week 2012 S 4x4 super black. Was looking through all the forums and found you guys. Seems to me that you guys are the best to be apart of if you want to actually get out, meet people and learn. I've always wanted to get into some proper off roading I've done some in the past but all I ended up doing was totalling my truck. Anyways I'm glad to see you guys do get togethers, I'll be ready for the next one. :D

Welcome Anthony!

Welcome Anthony! you will have fun here :D BB was our first run with this group with our new Pro 4X and this group is really helpful. We learned allot for our first run and will definitely meet up for Meet and Greet or runs.

Always good to see new folks joining in. Welcome Anthony. Look forward to meeting you.

Welcome Anthony!
Great to see your post!! And congrats on the new ride!!
Be sure to check out the Xcursion threads....our build pages and peruse the how-to section as well!!

Welcome Anthony!!!
You're in the right place with the right ride. Your truck is very very capable right off the lot. However, as you've probably noticed, we can't seem to help ourselves from modifying the crab out of our rigs, no matter how capable they are.
Please let any one of us know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you. BTW, Long Beach is my alma mater.

Welcome to the club! :)
Check out the links in your welcome email and let us know if you have any questions.
Hope to catch you on a run soon, and post up some pictures of your new ride in the Display Case thread when you have time.
John, GhostX

Welcome Anthony. I'm glad to see you on the forum and hope to meet you on an Xcursion or two. I would like to echo the statement: If you have any questions about your rig or wheeling don't hesitate to ask. There are a number of people that would love to help a fellow Xterra owner in any way.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't think any mod is going to get rid of those crabs. Don't you need some kind of special shampoo for that? I think that would fall under maintenance,
and then install armor to prevent further infestations.

Haha! :D :D :D
I like soft shells...steamed with a little spice and a cold Corona.

Welcome to the club!

Welcome to the CRAB, UM I mean Club. ;D
-
Oh yeah, welcome. You should definitely invest in a cb right off. Cheap and easy mod, and you'll be able to listen in on the buffoon-ery.

welcome NOOB!

Thanks for all the warm welcome. even if some how i ended up with crabs ha ha. (scratch scratch scratch) I ve already got the mod bug. I'm thinking rock sliders, CB and an awesome rear tire holder bumper. only bad thing is the rear tire bumper seams to be a little to expensive right now.
-
just focus on what will help you out the most...
this list is just my opinion, so...
-recovery strap....for when the **** hits the fan, this will help someone else pull you out of trouble
-CB to communicate
-recovery points (D rings)....as you'll see, most bumpers have 2 on the front; don't assume a trailer hitch counts....get something you can put a strap through, not tie around
*****************************************************************************
From there, you can look at bigger mods, ie. -sliders, skids, front and rear bumpers, racks, lights, lift, tires, new rack, CAI, new exhaust, new head unit, GPS, heated seats, roof-top-tent..........

Make yourself at home. Don't listen to any of them. They're just full of crab! :-)
I would suggest an Tsunami MF-1050 air compressor from Pep Boys for @ $60, and a 20k lbs. tow strap. Then all terrain (AT)tires for traction, then sliders, etc.
-
Agree with superslidestyle...get a good compressor, one with alligator clips to the batter (no 12V plugs), and what some refer to as a "tampon" which is a d-ring mount for your 2" receiver. This makes a solid rear recovery point. Stock your X will have a front tow hook.
Also, get a quality tow strap, fire extinguisher, and CB radio and antenna. That's a good start for a kit...read through the Display Case thread of other's builds as well as the Xcursion Guidelines for more help.
Off to a good start for sure. :)
