This is your chance to make a list of things you wish were available for Nissans...or even if they are available, what changes or mods would you do to certain products? Go ahead and make a wishlist of what you want for the Nissan!

A rear Xterra bumper that also replaces the big plastic pieces on the sides might be popular. No one has done that yet. Skid row and Calmini Xterra bumpers are nice peices but only replace the center section.

Besides that, you're on the right track with D21 and R50 skids and sliders

How about front and rear quarter panel bars for the D21 & D22? Kind like the ARB side bars that come up from the slider, over the wheelwell and forwards to the bumper. Something like that would be pretty cool. ARB makes front bars, but noone makes rear bars. for those that wheel in slippery, muddy conditions, combined with good sliders these would be the ultimate in tree protection.

Sounds like a good idea, I thought about tube fenders for the D21's, but not sure how well they'd go over. If I can get some interest in them, I'll go for it! Now for the tube, from the slider to bumper, that would be slick, I can make that a "bolt on" from my slider to bumper for an addition piece. Great ideas, keep em coming!

I'd for sure do tube fenders on my frontier....

I'd like to see a front winch mount bumper (similar to a Truck Farm winch mount bumper) & a rear bumper for my 95 Pathfinder w/3" bodylift....of course, there probably wouldn't be a large demand for them. My rear bumper needs replaced badly though & the front bumper is a completely cosmetic bumper.

Demand or not, if you could get together a few orders for them, I could get something going for them, the thing about "mail order" parts, is, there is a lot of expense getting something going for one item. If you could get the truck to me, I could build a custom one however you like it.

Fender flares for the X?

A nice rear bumper with optional tire carrier, shackle mounting brackets and integrated receiver?

A front bumper like the TJM but much stouter? And cheaper maybe? $720 is a bit much, IMO.

A workable, modular roll cage?

Just some random ideas.

I would love to build a cage kit for an X, I just need an X to work on. The rear bumper can be done, and the front is a possibility. I need to get some x owners around here!

I'd volunteer, but that would be one helluva commute... :O

Another idea might be a decent looking light bar that worked with the stock rack and/or aftermarket baskets. Something like round tubing with 2-4 mounting tabs in front, maybe another in the back for a CB antenna. Hell, I'd buy one.

Great ideas guys! I'll see what I can get going! I would love to add some non-existant items to the aftermarket!!!

So would we, Greg! Thanks for listening - much appreciated.

No problem!!! I'm trying to get an X lined up to work on, once that happens...it's all up hill from there!!! I'm working on a bolt on pre-runner bumper for the 01'+ frontiers right now, once all that is done, I'll get some pics up.

Just how many front bumpers do we need for the X? We have 2 TJMs (with or without bars), ARB, Calmini (with optional headlight hoops), and Shrock...

Rear fender bars from the slider to an aftermarket bumper: Don't see it on an X or Pathy, there's just not enough fixed sheet metal between the door and the wheel opening to really allow it is there?

I'd like to see some front spring perch sliders, though that would probably have to be a weld-on item.

Some rear lower shock mount relocation kits would be nice. I like what Darlington did but I've not heard the best things about them from an engineering or quality standpoint:
