You are right it will avoid light reflecting on hood but the shadow on roof will block the performance of your light to travel. I had a similar setup but after shifting it to the front below the grill i felt the difference.

Bumped up one of the old post.

Congrats @Pancho all the best

Congrats @Chaitanya D wish you all the best

Thank you @Srikumar for posting the drive and allowing me to lead. Everyone reached on time except @Arda Yagcioglu he was delayed at Abu Dhabi boarder checkpost for some reason. After quick breafing we decided to drive around the meeting point until he arrives. We were expecting him after 1hour but he joined us is 30mins. I thank everyone who joined the drive @Martin. @Arda Yagcioglu@Bhaskar @Xavier Treasurer @Goutam @Mikhail Lukichevall of you performed well with few refusals and two stucks at the end of the drive it was a amazing experience for me to lead a newbie drive in sweihan. See you all next time.

Congrats @Najeeb Mohammed

Congrats @Wrangeld welldone.

OEM xterra rear tow hook Suppose to be straight and it has bend while recovering. This is extremely dangerous when you do extreme recoveries.

Thanks @Srikumar for posting drive here in Abu Dhabi and it was great to see you after long long time. @Chaitanya D @Lorenzo Candelpergher @Janarthan @Tbone @Foxtrot Oscar @Kalahari @Najeeb Mohammed all new faces to me except @Nivin. It was nice driving with all of you, everyone drove fantastic and i am happy to see some emerging leader here. @Chaitanya D your lead was for a sort distance and we were enjoying to follow you but unfortunately the convoy had to stop due to one of the vehicle over heating situation and had to exit the drive. Looking forward to drive with all of you again. There are many endless terrain here. We will definitely explore those areas this winter. List of Terrain: Bu Tais, Um Al Oush, Al Wagan, Al Qoua, Al Yasar, Razeen, Madinat Zayed and every offroaders dream Rub Al Khali (The Empty Quater) Liwa

Xterra has a weak rear tow hook... spending another 50 to 100dhs will fix this problem.

@sertac ABS kill is the first thing you should do for serious level drives. If the ABS kicks in during steep slope it will keep releasing the tires making your xterra go down without break or control.
