John Di Writes:


"Fellow Xterra Enthusiasts,

I have just completed my 2nd Xterra project and I'm ready to share it with the Xterra community. If you've been in envy over some of the serious owners replacing their bumpers with ARB bumpers and winches but you just can't afford to take on this project. Well, I have just engineered and designed a new ARB that is user friendly and not that expensive. Actually you can build the basic ARB with my kit for $30.00. The upgraded ARB with lamps with my kit will only cost about $50.00 Yes folks I have been working on this project for weeks. Investing my time and $$$."

Here I am at my drafting table working on my next project to be named later.

This is the deluxe ARB model mounted and ready to go. Impressive, isn't it? Take a minute to absorb it all, then we'll go on and explain the individual items The basic frame is any 2x8x6 piece of pressure treated lumber you can find or buy.

On every ARB you will have a louder horn. That's a European horn on the right. Also there will be the simple block and tackle for those rescues where a winch won't work.

You're stuck in mud, deep mud, It can retrieve an entire six pack ofbeer and drag it back to the truck for you to enjoy as you wait for a tow. Thule, (motto) "When you winch on a Thule you know you're a fool".

The lamp power cord holder. Deluxe ARB only. You see the Optional Driving Lamps are powered off house current so the options are that you can have a generator running in the back of your Xterra or you can run ahead 200 ft. plug it in, drive 400 ft. run back and unplug it, run 400 ft and plug it in, on and on till you get where you're going. The Deluxe upgrade includes the lamps and the cord holder. It does not include the cord.
