heres the current project im working on, along with other little projects.
01 xterra, swapping in a dana 44 hp in the front and a custom 9" in the rear. also putting in an atlas and possibly new bumpers. the worst part of this swap is cutting all the old brackets off the front that held the ifs. heres a few pics. more to come as soon as we get more parts thats were waiting on.

heres a few more of the plates. had to make a cover plate cause my welder was not working properly last night and so i had to grind a lot out and fix it and i just couldnt live with how it looked afterward. got a new torch today and its working great now...not what i was going for but it doesnt look bad.

Looks real good!!

:clap:

We're waitng on 1 3" toyota spring from 4WP. Hope it gets here tomorrow so we can button up that front end.

4 Wheel Parts or 4 Wheelers Supply?

Thats so awesome.. I've always loved more then anything an Xterra with a SAS and lifted... so cool! :rockon:

Good catch :)=)

4 wheel parts is a chain and 4wheelers supply is a family run shop. these are coming from 4 wheel parts and the spring was coming from ohio. this particular spring is on national backorder.

camera phone pics, sorry.:sad:

something is missing here:


Ah...the old TX-10 transfer case:


I wonder what's going to replace it...:?:

Me too! Love it. Front digs are sooo much fun!

front digs are the bomb. how else would i get my rock limo through so many trails. i know tim took a bunch of pics today. hopefully he will post them up. front is rolling and the rear is out now. still waiting on shocks for the front and bump stops. should have the rear in tues if i get the 9" all welded up mon. its looking sick. id totally rock this ride.

starting to take the shape of a capable rig, kick a$$ job so far Chris:rockon:


Baja 1000 ready??? :~

front crossmember turned out pretty slick, now just need an equally sexy bumper:clap:

Very cool!

heres a few of the rear leaf mounts at the frame.

Nice! came out pretty trick looking. Glad you caught that little 'issue' with the Ballistic housing - being a perfectionist is never a bad thing IMO. Thanks!

Can't wait till it's rolling again :clap:

ya i had a few words with them today in person and they didnt seem to care at all. they wouldnt even give me a new housing. the fact that they are not checking the housings after they weld them for trueness bothers me. cause now i have to fix them and thats not what i should have to do. not impressed with the shop either. ya the rear mounts came out nice. and yes im very glad i caught the housing problem. i just hope it seals and doesnt leak after we get it in.
