Great lookin' X!

Bumping it up since I have made a few minor changes over time and have a couple random pics.

Wow, an Xterra with a rear sway bar still attached! 

[xxSVxx]

SPEAKING OF WHICH...

mine's still on.....all the $$ the former owner poured into this beast and he left the rear sway bar on...

easy to remove i'm assuming?

Haha I know! I have thought about pulling it, just haven't been able to make a decision. I should probably try disconnecting it and driving it, though

Nice!
Doesn't look like the RockyMtnX winch mount...I like your option with no bumper cutting.  Custom job?

Yessir, I made the mount. I did have to cut, but very little. Wanted to keep it nice and low profile. Although I do sometimes wish I had made it with shackle mounts instead of only using the stock tow hook for recovery,

[occupantX]

Well it looks really good....I'm considering the RockyMntX, maybe you should market your version

Welcome and I like the setup.

Very clean winch set up.   The whole rig for that matter.  It looks mild manered but has all the goodies underneath.  I like it
Just toss the rear sway bar.  It's very easy, gives more articulation and you'll never miss it unless you tow something big. IMHO

Thanks for the compliments. I was doing some work on it today and pulled the rear sway bar. Figured I might as well try it out.

Bought myself a couple fun little things for the X. Now just need them to be shipped and have time to install. Plus thinking about starting a roof rack/light bar project, been a while since I pulled the welder out.

What a tease!  Guess we'll have to wait to see the fun little things installed to find out what they are.
