I was just reading thru here and realized that I haven't noticed any Ladies here!
Are there any?
I can't be the only one excited about my "X" !

ps. Maybe I shouldn't be here?
ps. I tried to put this in the poll topic but I don't have permission yet!

There are few, they might be hard to find though. They're hiding in here somewhere, from the dirty old men here on XOC!

There is a bunch, im sure they will chime in soon

Just chiming in as one of the ladies that cruises this board daily. I get a lot of great information out of reading the posts...as well as a lot of laughs.

I wander around here some.

Girl here!! [raising hand]

I don't think all of us women are necessarily all that quiet...

Hi Ladies,
Are you the muddy, cruiser, 4X4 wheel cruizin'or happy type to be a "X" owner?
Do you even care?

No dates, that's taken care of personally, but my "X" would love to play!
Not really into muddin' Wouldn't mind watchin' muddin' and watchin' rockin' also!
Just like the outdoors and happy to be a "X" owner!

girl here too, tho currently X-less. i totalled mine a few months ago

subinatrix.......... SORRY about your loss!
R U OK? Maybe Santa will bring you another one!

i'm a girl too.. i love this website. i don't get into the stuff i don't know about, but i've gotten so much helpful information. like the sgt lobo mod!

Hey Sara,
What is a sgt lobo.....?
I hope to learn from here too!

heh...i wish santa had brought me a new X. sadly i'm driving a ford taurus for now i'm doing alright though, the X truly saved my life. i rolled it somehow, i don't remember the accident at all, but was able to walk away from it with bumps, bruises and a tender noggin. thankfully nothing too serious.

i love this board and have learned quite a bit from it, so i keep coming back. even tho i know i'll never get as heavily into the mod's as some of the guys do. lol and of course nothing's getting modded till i get a new truck.

Subinatrix,
Glad you're ok! And Koodos for "X"!
I am sure I can learn alot here. And Christmas is only 9 months away......He's watching you....

But u r quiet!!!!!!!!!!!

LAUGHS, certainly...this is a buzy place!

:p Wanderer........can u put your back seat all the way down? I was wondering if this was only in 2000's or cause I had leather seas put in!

Girl here that cruises the site daily, loves to go muddin with the X. I would feel like I weren't treatin it right if I didn't get it back out to it's element in the mud and woods. The dogs love the X too! I have gotten A LOT of great info off the site.

There's a handful of us here. I started on here as I did my research to purchase a used X so I'd know what to expect. This site has a wealth of information.
So far I love my X. Good luck on the board.

Today, yes, but work is busy.

Generally I get more involved in the political debates than anything else.

Hey Mytropy - this is a Lobo Shelf

Another female here. I've found lots of good information here and I love looking at pics of all the modified trucks just wish I had the money to do something with mine.

Mine goes down all the way.

BabyX - posts: 2550

Heather has been called a lot of things on this board but that is the first time I've heard her called quiet.

I'm a girl.

Durango...cool shelf...what did you use to secure it? Wait...Is that carabiners that I see holding it up there?

Another chick checking in. Usually I lurk more than post as I don't have much to add but I've been around since the board's infancy and still get lots of laughs around here.

Durango,
Great pic and TX for sharing the info. Is the shelf like the ones you buy, in lets say Lowe's and then assembled with zip strips and stuff?

and your hair rocks!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a girl and I am probably hotter then all of you. Don't believe me? Post a picture of yourself and prove me wrong.

I like baking brownies and doing my makeup.

i suppose you're also a 13 year old catholic school girl, who likes riding horses(or at least thats what you say in chatrooms )

Another girl here! I'm the muddy type um, my car that is. I love driving in the snow love the four wheel drive, love trying to find any excuse to use it. Random fields and such.

Another chick checking in, my X loves to play in the snow. It wants to go play in the mud, but I work weekends and graveyards so I miss out on most of the fun.

Actually it is my dog's Xterra, I just get to drive it.

I'm really enjoying this thread....no, you don't understand, really enjoying it [spanking furiously]


Your Hero,
Spanky

Here's a link to the Xterra club I belong to - you will find the instructions there.

Butch, can't see those photos. They are too small.

Hey!

You're a girl . . .

Of course, here are some other handy-dandy things you can also add to your "mod" list... Enjoy!!

Mag-Light Installs:

Front Driver's Side:


Back Area:


If you have "x"tra time, I'd suggest buying some of Coolerman's nifty LED 'mods'... See below:

Glove Box LED:


Center Console LED:


Cup Holders LED:


Since the X doesn't have any lights in these areas, Coolerman made several 'mods' so they can be illuminated during your 'nightly' travels... Just do a search for "Coolerman" and you'll find a link to all his cool contraptions!!!

Anyways... It's always nice to see the ladies rollin' with their Xterras... Have fun!!!

Hhahaaha.. Funny Lizz... Real Funny!!!

Last time I checked I was. So?

Hey Girls...How about some Pics of yourselves, now that we got this thing rolling...I think us "XOC Guys" would like to know what you'll look like...

Sorry Rickster, we've already learned why that's a bad idea--just ask Liz or Ian/Leslie.

That's wrong Rickster. I'll send ya a pic of me if you want

Things are getting hot in here...

Back down Doug. You had your chance.

I have incriminating pictures from GWNF.

Girl here....and I love my X !!!!

I'm sure he is happy to hear that. So, what happened to the marriage anyways?

it's gettin' crazy in here!

This is one reason why many of the women here prefer to stay quiet.

Show me yours, I'll show you mine.

Regards,

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, but you use WAY TOO MANY smilies for a guy.

Just sayin'...

just sayin dude.........I am a woman!!

Thank goodness. Sorry for the oversight. Please continue using smilies then.

I actually got them at a local electronics store called Fry's Electronics... I don't know if you have them there in Maryland... They're Maglite mount brackets... They usually run around $5 for a pair... You may want to try Radio Shack, Home Depot, or REI... Below is link of what they actually look like:

Maglite Mounting Brackets Linky

Hope this helps you...

Dumb

Hey I'm a chick with an X too! I actually just picked mine up on monday. I've wanted one for probably like 5 years.... woohoo, finally got one! I would really like to get in the off roading scene, but I owned a little saturn coupe before this, so I'm going to be honest... I'm completely clueless. I know a little bit, but not too much. I must say, I'm very impressed with this site. All kinds of info on here! I will definately frequent this place!

Just to let you know...the largest Xterra gathering and offroad event in the country is in YOUR state!! More details at ECXC.com and in the ECXC forum on this site!!

Welcome aboard!

Sounds familiar, look at the second post of this thread.

Cool
I'm getting dizzy

Hey, thanks for telling me about the ECXC! It looks like a lot of fun. I would love to do something like that! But i'm not equipped yet What's it take anyway? I am craving some wheelin experience!!

They have lots of stock trucks attend. You'll be fine.

<---Female and X owner since Sept 2001

Fellow female X owner here!!!

'nother lady here!

Nancycpt_21, you'll be fine at ECXC. Tow points are a must (shackles!), tho! Used the front one for the first time at last year's event.

To get this crap back on topic, here's Desert Lady driving the X on AZ Run V

Ha ha. You won't find any "awesomes" or from this group for an off-road picture with a female driving. The stock driveway shots and some other scenic pics posted today got them though. I've seen the same thing happen before. Is it not cool for females to like to drive off-road? Anyways, here's mine.

Hey, that female "Desert Lady " driving, probably has more "balls" then you can imagine! Your pics are good, but I think you are wrong, I believe many femmes/males would prefer to have a partner that plays.......in the "X", what about it femmes and males?!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh nooooo! I didn't mean here's my pictures. I meant here's my "thumbs up" to Desert Lady. But you liked my pictures, huh.

This just isn't fair. You may as well have asked "Honey, does this outfit make me look fat?" What do you expect the guys to say. It's like shooting pool. Sure, guys like playing pool with girls but some don't like it if the girl wins.

Yeah, some guys like to have a partner that plays in the X .... in the back seat, or as a passenger, or in a bikini laying across the hood.

There is discrimination. No doubt about it. That's just the way it is. For example, the picture in my profile, don't you think some guys would feel a little challeneged if that was a female driver and yet the most extreme picture they have is on a fire road? Or here you are having a conversation about say, an advanced 4wd subject, and then you find out you had been having this discussion with a girl. Yeow!

Some females like to off-road which doesn't make them any less girly girl. Maybe they grew up around a dad and brothers that were into it and it seems natural. Or they like being outdoors but don't want to go by themselves, so they hook up with a club that leans towards the serious side of off-roading. Stay at home and watch TV or go out on the trail with the guys and hope you are accepted? It's a tough call. Sometimes that decision is more challenging than the toughest trail obstacle.

Although times are changing where females are more accepted in traditional male activities. I don't think we are there yet in this field. No one's fault. It's just a matter of time and maybe education before female off-roaders are accepted and not thought of as weird or any less feminine.

Te' amo.

You two are inflating my ego. I must be one helluva guy to get my wife into the sport

Well, Desert_Rat is taken so maybe that was directed at me?

You know it was

To add my $.02,

I have to agree with Xterrah -- The attitude of SOME is enough to really dampen a girl's spirit, and is oftentimes quite frustrating...

As far as the shops that treat girls like crap... What I've found works well: Tell the manager either in person or in writing about your negative experience (sometimes it's an isolated employee, etc.) - and if you don't hear a response or if you visit the place again and get the same sort of vibe -- DON'T patronize them with your business. The worst thing you can do for a business establishment is not give them money and offer your honest "word of mouth" reviews to others.

On a personal note: I've noticed, since moving to Utah a few years back, that the culture up here may be wacky, especially for a non-LDS resident (Mormonland and all) - but folks up here aren't as derrogatory towards girls kickin' a$$ in traditionally male-dominated pasttimes. It's been a welcome change of pace (compared to SoCal).

Hopefully time & persistance will bring the Uber-Macho Yokels around. I won't hold my breath for some of them, but I will keep my fingers crossed!

PS- Thanks to each and every one of the KICK ASS BOYS who have spotted me, made me laugh and egged me onto the "tougher line" on ANY trail I have conquered (just did MetalMasher this weekend w/the UXOC in Moab). You guys are worth your weight in GOLD!!!

Hey ladies...I have been quiet on this site because I have been pretty busy with the local club that I joined at the beginning of the year. I have been on some runs and do just fine being stock. I do plan on slowly adding mods...hum...what should I do first...
Decisions...want them all NOW...

Either way. I am happy to read through the site and see many active women. There are only a few in my local club but so far I seem to be the only one participating consistently on runs..Oh well I dont have to have the extra estrogen around to wheel!

Anyways..since I have been quiet I wanted to pipe up and say howdy..from the Pacific NW!

Which county are you speaking of?

IMO, a gal that likes offroading and excels at it is just plain HAWT.

thanxs for the opinion but thats funny. Either way hawt or not...wheelin totally rocks and I just hope that I can keep getting better and better at it. I have a GREAT group I wheel with and I have done nothing but learn from them every time I go out. Not to mention I am finally learning to work on my own rig..awesome getting grease all over..not to mention the mud!!!

Stop teasing

I'm a girl. I also don't post much. I just like to read and learn more more about the X.

I'm here. I love my X...from working on it myself, to washing it, to getting it dirty again. I am definitely a happy Xterra owner.

I tend to post mostly in the Northern CA section, but I am sneaking around!

*raises hand* NJ female X Owner here! Love my X! Just hate the dealerships.

This is my second Xterra and I love to take it out Xploring. Moab was great but not next year Off to Iraq again. Here's my baby!

it's funny how all the leg humpin' begins as soon as ladies start posting on a male dominated forum

Another lady here just saying hi.

Chi-town lady here. 2002 SE 4x4.
