    2020 Frontier - Same body, new guts

    Might not have been a factory hitch. The hitch that came from the factory on my '15 Frontier is a class IV rated receiver hitch.

    '15 Frontier CC LWB, improvements for backcountry and roadtrips

    I would suggest talking to the guys at www.nissteclifts.com regarding your suspension plans. As for a bumper with a receiver setup, you have two options, HeftyFabworks or WAM Bumpers. WAM makes one that can be setup receiver only, winch only, or both. Hefty may or may not still make their steel...

    Nissan Frontier as family expedition vehicle?

    I have a '15 Frontier CCLB with the Value truck package, which adds some nice creature features. The biggest downside is aftermarket, however, there are still a lot of great sources: Nisstec Lifts, Shrockworks, HeftyFab Works, Fat Bob's, and others. I have 115K on mine and still love it, the...

    Antenna Mounting thoughts

    Working on my '15 Nissan Frontier Crew cab. Currently I have my CB antenna mounted on a fender mount on the drivers side, stereo antenna is on the passenger side, Sirius antenna is roof mounted. I'm getting ready to install a GMRS antenna and a 2/70 antenna on the roof. Both will be magnetic...

    HAM Operators- Post up here

    Day 2 of my General class and testing on the 21st, debating if I want to go my AE in the fall, will never use the abilities that will come with it (heck may never use all the abilities that come with General), but it might do it just for the hell of it, just to say I did.

    my experience with GMRS so far

    If the OP is wanting to go this route, since I know this thread is in Colo., he could contact AVTECH in Wheatridge, on 44th Ave just west of I-70, I'm not sure if they will work on non-police/fire vehicles, but he could try them.

    Looking for Help with Off-road Lighting Circuit Wiring

    If you are a member of Club Frontier.org, there are multiple ideas on there that people have used, including mounting switches in the overhead console by the Bluetooth mic. You could also consider a product like S-Pod or Switch pros. As for your backup lights, mine are wired into a separate...

    The Danger of using the wrong recovery equipment

    Think about how much abuse the average tow ball takes from towing, over time it will weaken the ball and the mount. Start trying to do recovery with it, and who knows when it will go. Or, think of all the people we've seen on trails using a tow ball as a recovery point, maybe they've done it 15...

    aux lights and daytime running lights

    In the 80's, Colorado had an unwritten "failure to cover" law regarding off-road lights, that raft of KC's sitting there uncovered, in some jurisdictions, if they were wired up would get you a fix it ticket, if they weren't wired, you'd get a warning, but it was officer discretion.

    Chevrolet offering serious off-road performance parts for the ZR2 in 2019, never seen this kind of OEM support

    When the truck comes from the factory, on day one, with a faulty door lock system, that's GM's problem.

    Chevrolet offering serious off-road performance parts for the ZR2 in 2019, never seen this kind of OEM support

    Meanwhile, they still can't fix the trucks worth a damn, and in some cases are causing more problems than they fix. Coworker took his '18 Canyon in for an oil change and a central locking system issue. The changed his oil, said the actuator was bad. Ordered a new actuator, 2 weeks later it...

    aux lights and daytime running lights

    But, how often is this actually enforced? Maybe for instate, but not out of state. Years back, on my Dakota, I had multiple sets of lights, when we'd drive back to visit my family in Youngstown, I never had an issue with Ohio cops, maybe it was the Colorado plates.

    New frontier pro 4x owner, want to upgrade / lift my rig.

    Nisstec also works with Alcan for custom rear springs if needed, which based on your plans is what it sounds like you'll need.

    Interchangeable Power Cords - Magellan

    I have a Magellan TR5 Trail and Off-Road GPS, I want to hardwire the power cord. The issue, no one seems to list a hardwire cord for the TR line (TRX 7, TR7, TR 5) of GPS. Does anyone know, are the power cords interchangeable within the Magellan GPS's? I find other hard wire cords online, I've...

    Camper shell and OME

    I've had a similar discussion with Nisstec (luckily I'm local to them) about this same subject recently. The HD springs they said would be for constant carry of 500 lbs, for light/medium 300 to 400 lbs, their suggestion was that unloaded the HD's would give a rough ride. I have a long bed as...
