Hey everybody -

I've been a Nissan Xterra guy for years, still have one left which I have recently retired from daily driver use and which now is a fulltime trail rig. In its place...is Betty, the 2011 1500 4x4 5.7L Hemi I just bought with 12k miles:

F0E-7BCFF693CC0A-9379-00000908CD4CC953_zpsa7236f30.jpg

Existing mods are a 2.5" leveling lift, procomp shocks, spectre cone intake filter, some exhaust stuff (it's loud but still legal) wheels and tires and the iron cross bumper. Not a huge fan of the bumper, and may replace with something custom (Here's the one on my X):

And a previous X:

I have some 5" round LEDs I could put on the iron cross, if I decide to leave it on there.

Anyway, this is my DD and fishing and ATV-towing vehicle, and so far I love it. Looking forward to learning from y'all :happy160:

Thanks guys! So after a week I'm still pretty pumped. Rides and drives great, can't wait to take it out of town. The only thing that maybe sorta kinda bugs me is the iron cross bumper. Not really my style, even though it's pretty beastly...thinking I might replace it with something smaller/simpler, like a pre-runner style tube and skid plate. hmmmmm. Anyone here in NM interested in the iron cross?

Hopefully somebody locally will buy it from you.
Pre-runner bumper would good.

Best bet is to post it on Racing SouthWest / Craigslist.
