Last winter I needed a project so I decided to change the look of my ex-GSXR600 (I sold it around July) to purchase an Xterra that I've been searching for, for a year. The GSXR was stock Red/White and I ended up with this.

It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot! Hopefully next year I'll be back on two wheels. However, this winter I'm going to work on my new Xterra. I have some basic stuff going on now.. Painting, wheels upgrade, tire upgrade so on and so forth. Here's what it looks like today, tomorrow I should have the new wheels and tires mounted.

Are you going full off road style or just basic?

I'm going basic off road style. I want it to be useful when Hunting, camping, towing and 4wheeling while still being able to drive it to work everyday.

will do

It sounded awesome at first, after about awhile it gets annoying though. I found a decible scale on the exhaust and the company said it was 103 or 106 decibles at 6000 rpm! It was a Jardine GP1 slip on exhaust.
