    I?ve been wanting to put a lift on my Xterra for as long as I?ve owned it (I?ve owned this vehicle longer than any other and it?s the first one I haven?t lifted), but really couldn?t justify it due to other financial priorities. Well today it just became a priority, we are t-minus 12 days from our annual road trip to California, and I just realized one of my rear driver side leafs is completely snapped. Fortunately Old Man Emu replacements are similar priced or cheaper than the zero lift options I was looking at, threw in some ride height adjustable Bilsteins up front, and should have a nice mild boost in height, similar to what I think the Xterra Pro4x should have looked like from the factory.

    Depending which way your trip takes you, we should try meeting up. This place is decent, if you're running down 17, amazing pie selection.

    Yeah definitely, looks like we are scratching Moab due to logistics, and putting our focus more on AZ.

    Did I mention how much fun I had shooting up close & fast @ the match on Saturday? A whole month is a long time off to wait to do that again. Fooie.

    The are enough IDPA and USPSA matches around town that you could probably shoot 5-6 a month if you try.
