Hi everyone,
I just bought a black on black 2013 FX37 yesterday with about 30K miles on it. I'm in California, but I drive in the snow a LOT and I am guessing that I'll be the first person to (proudly) mount some BFG T/A KO2s on my FX. (I'd love to see pictures of it if someone has done that already).
Looking to do the following minor modifications and then drive the car for 100K more miles or until Nissan releases a 2DR 4x4 w/ a manual transmission in the U.S.A., whichever comes first. (I'm not holding my breath for the second one!):
-Megan racing coilovers (some advice on which one of the 4/5 different options would be helpful)
-Megan racing rear upper and front upper camber kits.
-18x9 MB Weapon et38 (Gunmetal)
-285/60r18 BFG T/A KO2
-Weathertech mats for the interior
-a pet barrier that will keep my 15 lb dog in the cargo space a the back of the vehicle (again, any experience you have that you can share would be helpful).
Cars I've owned in the past:
-1998 VW GTI (Auto): My first love! Still have it. 100k miles
-2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon (5EAT) Sold it to a family member. He still has it and just can't seem to get himself to sell it.
-1995 Mazda Miata (5sp): It was fun until someone backed into the door at 3 mph and caved in the door. That's when I realized it wasn't a safe commuter.
-2002 Isuzu Rodeo S 4WD (5sp): A great and reliable friend. I cut the fenders a bit with a dremel so I could fit some bigger meats on it. Bought it with 120K miles. Gave it to a family member and it's still running strong at 210K.
-2001 Volvo S60 T5 (5sp): It had one of the butteriest manual transmissions ever and it was super cool because it was like a ball thingie with the shifter sticking out of it. Looked like something you'd see a the local arcade (do they have those anymore?)
-2013 Scion FR-S (6sp): My daily driver. Makes my 2 mile commute fun. Especially the turns.
-2013 Nissan Xterra S 4wd (6sp): Loved this car so much that I drove it 66K miles in 2 years. Sold it when I realized that I had put too many miles on it and then realized I wouldn't find one at that price ever again because it was the last year that they made them. I ALMOST bought another one, but that is a LOOOONG story that shouldn't be retold without some alcohol involved.
-2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i (6sp): It's actually a pretty good car, but now that I've got an FX, I'm selling it.
