interesting. Didn't know that about the gear ratios but its been a couple days since I've shot the ******** with Chad and Kyle. The new truck is looking great with the lift they put on. Really looking forward to the pizza cutters on it
They run the same r180 in the front and for the pro4x models the m226 (D44) in the rear. Just different spline count on the front, from my understanding on the new models.
When locked up to 35s are no issue, the main issue is the higher 3.36 gearing on automatic models when upgrading tire...
For any direct injection engine it's just something I would personally install. Have personally had issues with them and there are plenty of horror stories out there.
They are known for gumming up the intake valves and then having developing issues from there. There are a few ways around it...
I like them well enough, I have had zero issues with traction and they're quiet compared to mud tires I've had in the past. That being said, I believe next time I'll likely go 255/85. Just in a hope to slightly reduce weight and gain a smidge of ground clearance.
In a perfect world I'd be able...
This is exactly the type of setup I'm trying to figure out on my rig right now. The real problem is finding a tent that has the right footprint. This looks to be it.
Are you able to keep bedding/sleeping bags/pillows in the tent when you pack it up? Have you had any issues with water ingress...
Thankya kindly! Currently running 285/75R16 - essentially a 33 inch tire.
I still need to sort a truly sealed airbox vs the stock box, but it is functional for now!
Gotta give some love to the folks over at Heavy Metal Offroad.
They made me up a set of custom height bed bars to my specs, in under a week. Bonus they came in priced just as the regular bars they make. Dropped them off at powdercoat yesterday - going with white to match the truck. These new...
Killer build. We also thought about a V8 pathy, or an xterra. Frontier won out because motorcycles can go in the bed. I do have some regrets about not searching longer for one of those with the V8.
Looking forward to future development updates
I'm am running spacers in the rear, but only 1.5 inch. It is slightly inboard of the front track width. I don't like the look much either, but to me the benefit of the swap outweighs it. It doesn't look too bad, and the rear isn't too noticeable. In this photo the wheels are slightly turned to...
Well, it never ends. I recently picked up a set of used Heavy Metal offroad bed bars, at the 9 inch height. This was to eventually move to a RTT setup as the oztent when setup requires so much flat ground space. A lot of times where we end up, that is hard to find, much less to find where you...
Thankya!
I won't run a prefilter up top, however, the company that made it recently released something similar. A little mesh filter/water trap that fits towards the bottom of the snorkel before the airbox that I will end up getting over the winter.
The Frontier was essentially unchanged from 2005-2021. Small updates over that time is all. I've had zero issues, there were some radiator/transmission cooler issues in the early models. There was less aftermarket support than toyota and some people find the interior dated. I'd buy another one...
