I've seen rear view cameras that are built into a third brake light, so I wonder if they'd have the same issue. I was planning on getting this one when I get around to a new canopy.
When I get around to ordering a new canopy to replace the one I've got right now (going with an aluminum ARE topper with a full height hatchback rear door and full length side doors, no windows to save cost), an always on rear view cam is going in place of the mirror and I'll get some tow...
Awesome build! I've been working on a design for a build very similar to yours for a few years now, based on the same ute tray/flatbed idea, but with a full pop up vs the wedge.
Do you ever worry about hitting the jerrycans and leaking fuel/water? It's a really novel use of the space that would...
Here's hoping those cracks don't come back! What I've seen other people do is drill out each point/end of the crack, grind out the length of it, and then fill weld it, but I don't know how well that would work on sheet metal (if at all.) Drilling out the ends helps to stop the crack itself as...
How do you like your winch mount? I'm thinking of getting one myself in the mean time before I commit to a full bumper. I was looking at one from Dezert Runner offroad, but my plans to pick one up on a trip were interrupted for the foreseeable future by COVID canceling that trip.
I run Duratracs on my '07 Frontier, no issues whatsoever with noise on the road and they perform really well off road. I had Duratracs on my last truck as well, so it's safe to say that I like them a fair bit. My only complaints with them are that they do get ever so slightly noisier as they...
A few updates since my first post.
Got a canopy to keep stuff dry until I get around to doing the bed rack/rtt sometime next summer.
After that I went about replacing the factory stereo with something more modern to get bluetooth functionality, upgrading the speakers at the same time, along...
I'm up in Alberta, so it can get pretty cold for several months at a time in winter. I'm fairly mechanically savvy, so a yearly seal replacement on shocks/coilovers would not really bother me if the performance was high enough.
Good to know on the DK lower arms. Sounding like it's just the knuckles to look at from them. I saw a few posts over on club frontier talking about plating stock Titan lower arms to beef them up, so I may go that route.
Any advice on coilovers? Part of me says don't waste time and go straight...
My plan was full Titan swap, rear axle and front diff included. The rear axle will take a bit of modification to do (moving leaf spring perches and possibly shock mounts) and I might get the rear 4 linked at that same time, haven't decided yet.
Probably go with stock Titan parts for the short...
Just picked up this 2007 Frontier Nismo. Nothing done yet, but there are big plans for it. Titan swap w/ 34's, bumpers/sliders/skids, bed rack for a RTT... Should be a fun build!
