What were some challenges and successes?
The main challenges were going from a man that has only built Mini Trucks in the past to somebody that now would like a go anywhere off road beast!
What can your ride do now that it couldn’t do before?
I can go just about anywhere. If the truck won’t power through it the winch will :)I barely had enough power to turn the new 33″ tires that I installed on a stock Xterra. So with help from a Volant CAI (#12740),An intake manifold spacer and Magnaflow’s exhaust system I can power through just about anything!
