My Neighbor has an Xterra with a spare street tire roped to the roof... Looks like crap.
I've seen a few built nice but I'm not a Nissan fan anymore after owning two Quest minivans. the wife is getting an FJ or T4R next.

 

Those trail edition t4rs are damn sexy

 

Buy her the t4r,because when i buy my fj i don't want it to look like i am copying you.

 

Nissans are just butt ugly imo...

 

because, 36s

I think we've all joined that sub club at one point or another, just a matter of when not if. Fortuantely nothing was damaged other than the driver's spirit LMAO

Theres a pretty cool lookin xterra that lives around my house, seen it quite a few times. Had a RC sticker on it too. Not sure how well they do offroad though. I do know they come with a manual t-case and manual hubs tho

 

I've luckily not joined the sub club yet… but when I do… rhino lining the floor will happen after that

 

Ugly way to go IMO. You will still have all the exposed wiring. Vinyl liner is where it's at.

 

I came really close to getting an xterra pro4x for the next work car / truck. If it wasn't for the grille and the roof rack, it would've been a definite.


Pics of the new work truck to come tonight. Just got a text from one of my coworkers saying it's in the parking lot and looks sweet. Sadly I have a meeting in Staten Island and then three in NYC, so I am not getting to see it for a while.

 

My first pickup

LOL

 

That Nissan/Datsun Hard Body Puckup died with 317,000 miles FTW

 

Those older nissans were tanks.

 

Anybody ever have that feeling when you go online to order maintainece related items but then end up spending $500 on other stuff cause it's "on sale". I feel like that's something a woman would do

 

LMFAO

 

Anyone have any experience or opinions with hot tubs?

I ran a 5k Saturday and then spent Sunday and Monday being lazy because I was sore so I started thinking about hot tubs. I figure it would've been a lot more fun to soak in a hot tub than sit on the couch watching tv.

I found a bunch of used ones in decent condition on craigslist but it makes me worried that I'd have to replace the heater, pump, cover, and who know what else, and maybe still have problems.

I went to a local hot tub place today and checked out some left over 2014s.

They have a round one with a bench seat for $3500 (seats 4/5 people) and it's plug and play. 120v, just need a level place to put it and it's done. The negatives I see is that it's a bench seat it's probably not as comfortable as the spa style ones with lounge type seats. Also the pump and heater can't be operated separately so for the summer I couldn't turn off the heat and use it as a soaking pool, the most I could do is turn it down to 85* or turn it off and drain it.

Then for $5700 they have a 7 seater. Spa style so more comfortable seats, more jets, more massagers, enough room so that it can be more than a couple without being awkwardly close. Supposedly costs about the same to run it each month but I would have the option of turning off the heat in the summer and use it for cooling off. This would be 240v so more work to install. I would be doing the install and already have a 240v 60 amp circuit available from my old dryer, I'd just have to punch a hole to get the wires outside and wire up the box.

My goal is to build a 10x16 deck and then have a lower level off of it with an outdoor shower and the hot tub. Hot tub would be on the ground and deck level be about 18" below the top of the hot tub so it's easy to step into the hot tub.


I won't be building the deck till atleast the summer (need to remodel my bathroom first) but if I put the hot tub in the right spot it wouldn't have to move when I build the deck around/up to it.


I don't have 6 grand to waste on a hot tub right now so I'd be financing it. I know the smart thing to do is wait till i can afford it and do it and the deck at the same time.

But the hot tub would be nice all winter... Especially after snowboard trips.

... But I still need to save like 3 grand for Moab in May...


Anyone have any advice? Anyone own/used to own a hot tub? Do/did you like it?/use it?/ think it's worth it?

Thanks.

 

I can't with the hottub part Josh but I can give you a hand with the deck when your ready to build it being I was a carpenter for 14 years.
