the start of it all

i started getting into offroad belive it or not with a 2wd..... i had a 2001 nissan xterra the end of my junior year in high school. bought a t case and had almost everything for a 4wd swap other than the trans. i was planning on doing the 4 link calamini kit with a 44 but moved on to something else after i lifted it 3'' with 32 ats

after a few more cars i traded a bronco for a xj that needed a lot of work and the back was destroyed so i decided to do some cutting :roll:

and it continued. i got some mickey thompson classic IIs and some mix match 33s threw a 4.5'' lift togther with some bastard packs and a little block to get by, rustys coils, and just rustys lower short arm.... rode like s**t. by the way this was not a dd

picked up a 3'' skyjacker lift with a spacer and shackle so it ended up being a 4'' lift, currie steering, and a few other goods.

threw some 31s on it and started driving it
