Well at leas tto my knowledge. THought you would all like a looky...








It's not setup for crawling so dont bash it. It setup for what I believe would be show, and running atop the sand in Hawaii. I dig it.

Honestly I think that looks like crap. It looks screwy. imho.. It is nice to see someone doing something different though.

interesting...

No front drive shaft, no suprise there, but how long will his rear drive shaft last and has it fallen off yet?

truck looks sweet!
i think he's planning on lowering it a couple of inches too. definitely, not a rock crawler but will do nicely in the sand.
congrats on the first sas xterra!!!

Now it looks like the Tyco RC Xterra. Totally out of proportion.

Who is that? I hadn't heard that anyone in Hawaii was doing that, but those pictures appear to have been taken there. Not my cup of tea, but much better than a low rider. I'd like more pictures of the suspension, front and rear, as well as the attachment points. I'm thinking something less radical looking for me.

I believe he goes by "eastsidex" on other Nissan Boards.

I think this is his cardomain page: http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=207516&page=2

The Tycos have bigger tires in proportion to the body...

Don't know what to say guys, Lot of effort, lot of money, lot of work, and lot of time. Gotta give some credit, but definitely the hight is too much. Should have bigger tires or lower the truck a bit more. I'd get a front drive shaft ASAP. For some reason to me the newer Xs don't look right with that much lift because of the front look. But that's just me. But what can I say, if it's only for sand it's all good. Things WILL go wrong if it does Rock Crawling or Mud Dippin with that setup. Good work.

Riad

How does he gets in ?

I'm curious... how will he do any better in the sand than another Xterra with swampers? It's not like he had paddle wheels.

The show thing, I understand, but I don't see how lifting it that high and putting the solid axle in front will do any different on sand.

That Xterra is just "insane" as Dr. Phil would say.

Anyone else feel like going out and playing Moon Patrol now?

Yet another great time killer. Thanks Snooopy. How goes the training? My cousin graduates from Great Lakes on Aug 1st then is headed to P-Cola for Rescue Swimmer training. Hopefully you won't need him someday.

I like the Idea of a SAS Xterra but with wheels that big they won't stuff into the wheel wells which negates all the extra flex you gain with the Solid Axle.

Good effort if a little misguided.

IMHO the Xterra body is too small to raise it to SAS level. It looks like shit and is a waste of dough, Judging from the picture it looks odd adn way out of proportion.

Is the owner going to grow a mullet now?

I think it looks kinda cool. Nice color, too!

It could look cool with like 40 inch tires and some body work so that the tires could actually stuff in there. With those tires it looks like an rc xterra mounted on an old skate.

Does that float on water too? I'd be impressed then.

What a waste of money.

All that and it could have been a nice 4 wheeling vehicle. Now it's just something that will get stuck in the sand quicker because it weighs 500 pounds more than stock and is now 2WD (probably for life with the angles involved).

At least they did a high-steer on it, but someone forgot to cut all the u-bolts.

Nice show truck. Bad truck truck.

not that i'm insulting his ride, it's his truck to do with as he pleases...
but i've been waiting for a while for someone to do an sas on an xterra, and to have it turn out like that is a disapointment.
hopefully someday someone else with the money and time will go towards rock crawling.
by the way, is that the xterra that was posted awhile ago, wiht the 33x16 tires or something? tires with insane width and not enough height?

coolness...

If you all check out his page at http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=207516&page=2

the truck isn't that high and looks bad ass.
