HAHA no kidding! I haven't been around long but I have yet to stop drooling over all of the amazing X's on this forum. Luckily for me I am on a college students budget so that should help slow me down (for now  ;D) My mind is racing with mods I want to make.

Famous last words. :) Just be warned, the "mod bug" has a highly contagious venom and once it bites you, you might as well take out a second mortgage in preparation.

I bought my Xterra as a daily driver that I could use for "some recreation," and I planned to take it very easy with the mods. But hanging around with the folks on this page and getting a taste for what the Xterra can do will make the modifications like an addiction! Here I am, just a year and a half later and I've completely given up and even bought a separate car for commuting. :)
Isn't that the truth.  I did go into my build knowing I wanted to do some mods, but it quickly snowballed even beyond "some."

If you're looking at sliders, look up White Knuckle.  They're in Apple Valley, which isn't too far for you to pick up and you'll save on the delivery fees.  The WK's look expensive, at first, but the initial price already includes coating.  Once you start adding options to the other sliders out there, the price is pretty close across all brands.  Also, since you can pick them up, you won't have to worry about the coating getting damaged in shipping.

Also, there are ton of knowledgeable people on here that have done all of their own mods.  Get a pile of parts together and I'm sure we can make a mod day happen to help you out.

These are in Bellflower, which isn't too terribly far from you.  Also, I missed the comment about being on college student budget.  I've been there, done that.haha  However, I'm sure the community will be able to help you source used items.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to look. I am not quite ready to spend the 300 dollars just yet, have to save a bit more. I am thinking about starting a drawer/bed conversion. I had some design ideas after seeing some of the other users posts about them. hopefully I can get all of that done in the coming month or two.

Welcome from the High Desert. I'm always up for Cleghorn if I'm in town. It's a fun trail. Rick, did you ever get those stains out of your seats? I definitely agree with Rick on the white knuckle sliders. Just be patient and you'll find a good deal. You should start looking into tires too. The right tires make a huge difference.

I love the teardrop trailer. I've been looking into getting one myself eventually.

Awesome! I will be saving and on the look out for now. I am aware that you have to pay for quality and am more than willing to do so. From the looks of it a lot of people are interested in a Cleghorn run. anyone wanna try and set something up somewhat soon? I think I am going to be there monday 11/2 some time near noon with my subie friend again if anyone is free the more the merrier. and if not I would definitely not mind going back soon for an Xterra run.

No worries, I didn't look too hard. I just remembered seeing them posted up.

Not yet. Ha-ha I actually watched a video of that same spot. Guy was shooting a Tacoma in front of him going through the same spot and he swung the rear end more than I did. I really hope it didn't look as bad as it felt to me, otherwise I'm never hitting that spot again, or I'm going to take a lot longer to look at the lines through. Ha-ha

No, you were pretty smooth. It just feels really crazy the first couple of times.

It's just not something I'm not used to yet.

Hello from Glendale... just up the street.  Don't worry about being mechanically inexperienced.  I am the same way but have learned a lot just by reading things.  Love the Canteen X.
