2003 Nissan Xterra

Bought a 2003 Nissan Xterra on the weekend. Great shape and a pretty decent price. I'll post a real pic later, but this is a stock picture (except mine is black).



It has some bells and whistles like a super charger, 300W stereo, hitch, low mileage ...

I'm hoping to do a 2 inch body lift on it, pretty cheap ~$250 and seems easy enough. Have a look at the instructions. Doesn't seem too bad. Though I'm being tentative (some lessons learned from last project). Of course it will wait till the vehicle is paid off and my wife is happy enough :-/

Project Cost: $10,500 (including last project).

Death

The project is dead.

For reasons to be posted later, I have no space available to work on it nor the technical expertise to see it through. Probably bit off more then I can chew anyway :-( I guess you live and learn.

I have re-obtained about $500 for the headers, $750 for the front suspension, $200 for steering pump and tires and $150 for returned unused tools.

Need to sell my refurbished engine, rear suspension and front axle to make a little more money back (hopefully $1500 more back). My wife is so understanding.

Project Cost: $4500.00
