    Jeep just released a JL with a payload increase of 500lbs

    I have been doing a little digging and looking into this as well. If I go off the FCA Canada press kits on a 2015 Jeep wrangler. The Sport model JK unlimited has a payload rating of 1000lbs and the Rubicon has a payload of 892 and the Sahara is 880. Regardless of transmission and therefor curb...

    Frontier Bed Rack

    I do not know of a thread for that on this forum. PP Enginering does make one for the Frontier specifically. I did find this pic of an RCI rack on a Frontier

    2006 Xterra OR project. Phase Two

    Just noticed the center console. What did you do there? I am still trying to find a solution that fits nice between the titan arm rests.

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Winch questions. The winch I had for 3 years died already. I can get the parts needed to fix it for about $400. Or I can buy a new Smittybilt XRC for $350 and put my synthetic line on it. Or for $800 I could get the new Smittybilt Gen 3 with Synthetic or the Warn VR10S with synthetic and turn my...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    I keep debating between cutting up the arb to make it drag less, or just getting one I know will not drag.

    2020 Frontier - Same body, new guts

    I have found that issue in the past with Nissan. My truck in 2015 in Canada had a payload 1049lbs, but the difference between empty and GVW was more like 1250lbs. But with the stock suspension more than 800lbs had her squatting pretty low. Now that I have sliders, winch canopy etc I still feel...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Wow I haven't really posted in a while. Lets use working from home as an excuse to do so. I have found a few locals in my small city that have been bit by the Nissan bug, it has been really fun getting out with them, instead of the regular Jeep and Toyota crowd. We have gotten out a few times...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    I have had no issues with the Lokka it is always on. When the rear is locked and the front is locked no issues at all. CV's also held up great. When I switched to the M205 it does not have a Lokka option. If that changes I would put one in

    Nissan Frontier as family expedition vehicle?

    We have used our Pro4x for huge multiweek camping road trips as well as weekend getaways. My two daughters are 10 and there is plenty of space for them, right now, including the yellow lab or a friend in the back. My wife wants a bigger family road tripper, but wont give up her Tiguan. The space...

    2nd Gen INFINITI QX56/QX80 Build

    You could always put a Lokka in it. I happen to have a spare R180 sitting around with 3.36 gears and a Lokka

    Thanks for the idea about the ABS switch. I hate my ABS most of the time.

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    I had found his original posts with the specs for the tophats, and was in the process of finding the raw materials and a local to make them. Then someone on instagram mentioned that Alldogs offroad was selling them, and a price cheaper then I could source the raw materials.

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    The solution to the inner tie rods was just adding some heat. When I read the instructions for the new inner tie rods I saw that they used red loctite. Generally that means heat is needed to get them off. So with everything removed and a little heat on the inner tie rods I was able to pop them...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Waiting can be the hardest thing. Turns out the springs that come with the Bilstien 6112 for the first gen Tundra are a little long and stiff for the frontier. I order some replacements from Eibach, but I hate waiting. I am also waiting on some of the extended bump travel tophats from...

    Kootenay's Pro4X Frontier

    Playing around with the stock titan control arms. The stock upper control arm has a reinforcement plate welded in, and I found this was also the point where it wanted to contact the coil bucket. Ground it down but didn't get into the weld and gained over 1 1/2" of wheel travel. The upper ball...
