User: jhughes3281
Make: Nissan
Year: 2013
Model: Frontier SV 6MT 4X4
Color: silver

This is my second Frontier, and being that the last one was more of a prerunner, I am going a different route than what I did last time. Being that my wife does not really care for the desert but more for the mountains, and I just want to be outside having a good time, I am building more of a trail rig. It will serve as our camping, hunting, weekend errand, and overlanding chariot.

Nice platform to start that for sure.

You said 40in LED bar?!?! woowzers. Night runs a lot? I got blasted by a little 20 in that looked like the sun so I can only imagine what a 40in would do.

Anyways I am excited to watch this progression. Do you have a photo from the "old build"?

Cheers

How did you like the uprev?

I absolutely love it. Complete custom tune, air/fuel ratios, and the thing would not stop pulling. A blast to drive after it was done.

Here is the an older picture of the "old build". Fun toy for a while, but became more of a pain so I have parted it out.

You can also look up my youtube channel under the same screen name to see a video of the light bar. I love that thing.

Got some time today to move the loud as Hella horns. See what I did there - I made a funny. :wings:

Also I installed the Volant that I picked up from a member on Club Frontier for $100. Saved me about $150 or so.
