Nice to see a lot more aftermarket support for Nissan :-)

"05 w/ Calmini lift & bumpers





Some of the others, there are more on the floor and I'm sure we will see more pics later in the week.

Hey Tbox,----Wait I might be confused---- are you at SEMA? Now that I pulled my head out my ass I see that you posted pics from ORC and RockCrawler.com.

If you can , look for some detail shots of the Armada with the stripped interior and Nissan Factory (Red , Black, silver) racing colors. It has a cool dash and cage and it's cool that they ripped out the entire interior.

Edit: It's actually in the third picture down, to the left of the Armada. You can just make out the beadlock wheel and the plexiglass windows.

But the suspension scared me a little.

I'm curious to know why Calmini went back to the original bumper design for the 05 Xterra. IMHO the tubing around the headlights would look better on an 05.

I said, "I WAS PARKING HERE!"



Now there's a brushguard.



Dude, where's my car?

OMG, SHWEET!!

SCCX representing at SEMA!

EditorX, Those fenders look great

new X looks awesome..

how did calmini get there hands on it so fast?

is that what the products for the 05 are actually going to look like?

I think the fenders look clean and stay with the X's lines. I dunno though. I'd have been tempted to stick with the style I currently have that are more open if only to show off all of the work done under there. Since it's outside and not able to have a side with a wheel off or on a jack those fenders seem to hide all that custom fab work that they are promoting.

Boog, Calmini has a great relationship with Nissan. Nissan gets them a pre-production vehicle and they use it as a platform to make products off of. It is to Nissans advantage to get their trucks to shows for publicity.

The trucks do the show circut and then they hit the magazines and a year later they go back to Nissan.....

Sometimes, if they are not pre-production the companies have the option to purchase them for a dollar. They are referred to as dollar cars.

That 05' looks good....

Because they're an aftermarket manufacturer. They've had that X a long time.

I am going to SEMA in the morning on Thursday. Is there anything special someone wants pics of?

If you can , look for some detail shots of the Armada with the stripped interior and Nissan Factory (Red , Black, silver) racing colors. It has a cool dash and cage and it's cool that they ripped out the entire interior.

Try to get some suspension shots too.

True enough and you blew my cover there. Those fenders, while they look nice, are actually temp. The fenders that will be on the rig where not ready in time for SEMA. They are more open like you said that they should be. If I were to fully compress the front suspension, I would probably break them. The wheel well is just not tall enough for a long travel set up. They would be great on a normally lifted X though.

As I understand it.. Nissan was a bit slow getting the Xterra to them and there was not a proper amount of time to do something more special.

I don't think it looks bad though.

Didn't you say Steve was testing it at gonemoab '04?

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

I remember Calmini had a pre-pro Titan that they were building a bumper for LONG before it went on sale. I think it was even before the official photos were released. Wonder what happened to that bumper project anyway?

Nice to see Calmini has a bumper and SL in the works for the 05!

How did they mount these lights by the windshield? Maybe on the window cowling.

Nope. They had a suspension test chassis, in Moab a while back though, but no one knew about it until after they had been there.

This is the Armada I was talking about. When I talked to the owner/guy who put the project together with the vendors , he told me the truck used to be the deep red burghundy color. The truck was painted silver and everything else is peel off graphics.



The suspension looks a little sketchy. Those tie rods aren't going to take much of a beating either.

If you look at the limit straps it doesn't look like it's going to have much down travel since they are allready almost tight at static ride height.

It looks cool though. Lots of cagework.



This is similar to the light bar concept I invisioned a few months ago.



Dash is pretty racy:



The new Art Schmidt CORR Frontier with the new body style.




Wanna Race?



It looks like the Titan is getting a lot of attention:



It holds two tires and doubles as a jungle gym for the kids.

I am a big fan of the Armada prerunner bumper. But the Titan one looks like you could put a small family inside it.

I'm really happy to see Nissan is becoming more and more visible at SEMA...

Socal here you go these are the ones I could find on the cage
