    "Lola" - WreckDiver1321's 2005 Frontier CC/SB Nismo Build and Adventure Thread

    Are you thinking of going with LCA's that are 2.5" wider? As in TITAN??

    Xterra Torque Converter Shudder

    I have had a similar thing happen in my 02 F350 and my CRD Liberty. Both times it turned out to be the Cam Position Sensor.

    E.J.'s Dirty Nismo 2005 Frontier CC Build Thread/Journal

    I was trying to explain this basket idea to my brother the other day. Glad I am not crazy and it will work.

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Yes that is what I am looking into next. Trying to find some light rocker protection that I can remove steps from when needed. I also want it to be strong enough to use the high lift on. But options up here are very limited. Looking at Trail gear Tacoma sliders, but they are not the design I am...

    Looking good. Check out highway 31 around trout lake if you can when doing the west Kootenay trip

    We are not that far away. I do head down to Montana erratically, if I am headed down anytime in the future I will let you know. Although winter would be the better time to try it. Also the hiking and skiing etc up this way is not to horrible,

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    This was my first time really wrenching on a vehicle less then a year old. So not having any bolts snap was an amazing experience. As for future plans not sure. So far with the lockers, lift, and the other little things I am pretty happy. If I keep dragging my belly, then I would go with some...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Well I managed to find time to install the Old Man Emu lift this weekend. Did the rears on Sunday, and the fronts on Monday. On Sunday I took them out for a test, and went rock hunting again for the garden. The ride and load handling is much better. I wish this was how the Pro4x came from the...

    I was hung up on this as well. All the research I found on forums said it would be bad in snow. But none of these were first hand accounts. In snow I found it handles better. At least in the way I like to drive. Off the throttle in corners and use the throttle to catch the tail. In slippery...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    For sure, airbags were great in my Avalanche. With the Frontier I decided to go with the Heavier springs for the same effect, but still allowing axle articulation. The Avalanche had coil springs on the back so bags did not effect the articulation. I have also heard from most people that the Old...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Last week I had to make a quick business trip to Revelstoke to test some bikes. I decided to take a more civilized, less populated route to get there. I looked into the Grey Creek Pass, but looks like 2.8metres of snow still at the summit, so I drove around to Creston, but took the bypass...

    I was thinking the same thing, but have decided to go with the Lokka in my R180. From what I read it not only makes the diff stronger, it also reduces the stress because you don't get the loading and unloading of an open diff when offroad. As for handling characteristics it is great. Reminds me...

    We just sold our beloved travel trailer. Spring time pricing is to hard to pass up. Curious how you feel a Roof Top tent compares?

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    The trailer is 3800lbs loaded for camping and 19ft long, so not to much of a load. As for the band I cannot recall their name.

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    In the spring it was time for my annual family camping trip. Packing enough gear for two kids and my wife with only short box meant I would have to be creative. We normally are used to lugging a trailer around, but this time decided to try tent camping in the spring in the desert. I had hoped...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Like all good vehicles after buying it I decided to test it out stock, until I needed mods. First some light offloading. The truck was perfect It handled well and the dog loved the cab, and the back for quick trips in t After that came a camping trip pulling the trailer. It previously had been...

    2013 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X - Recomendations?

    Winches are great if you do a lot of offloading and find yourself getting stuck a lot or are in a hurry. I have had so far (knock on wood) great luck with using a high lift to winch out when need. I would suggest getting heavier rear springs, like the old man emu if you plan on extended camping...

    Importing an Australian camping trailer into Canada

    Try talking to the kinds folks at North American Safari Company. They went through this process so they could have an Echo 4x4 trailer from South Africa, and now sell them to consumers.
