    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    Then some VHT roll bar and chassis paint to match the rest of the bumper as closely as I care. Final Product I'll get one of the small locks for the ammo can and it'll be done-done. This holds a 25 ft. winch extension line, a 10ft tree trunk protector, a 20ft snatch strap, the...

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    Did a little modifying and re-configuring of my Precision Welding dual swing out rear bumper. Originally @eolivas built this swing out to hold rotopax and a hi-lift. With the setup of my truck evolving the hi-lift is now mounted on the side of my bed bars so this space was unused. In order to...

    Spare Tire Trash Bag

    Trasharoo is fine. We use one stretchy trash bag for dirty clothes, and one heavy walled black bag for trash, Easy enough to just keep them side by side.

    2023 Frontier Build?

    There is ever increasing aftermarket for the 3rd gen Frontiers. Check out All Dogs Offroad. Decked setups are nice, but as mentioned take up A LOT of space. A topper might be better. Some stuff will fit/crossover from the 2nd gens as well.

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    Got out over the holiday weekend to test out the new setup. Ran into a ton of locked gates so we didn't get any wheeling in, just some FS and logging roads. Did find a nice mountain top view for lunch and camped next to a river with some friends. Figured out a few needs/wants and a few things we...

    I'm TIRED of this sit!

    I'm too lazy to look up the specs for your other chair. But this chair came to mind instantly. They pack flat AND have a table. I've got a few of their jet tent pilot chairs and they've been extremely durable over the past several years. https://oztent.com/collections/furniture/products/gecko-chair

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    Pass through the roof with a strain relief and into a weatherpack 4 pin connector. Each cargo/scene light is isolated and switchable on the roof as well as the main power switch. The roof wiring isn't 100 percent tidied up yet, going to wait until the last sub harness is done before...

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    I'm not super experienced with the lightning tubes and digicols, but a friend of mine and I finally got around to getting my lights all sorted out and installed. There is still one more sub harness to create for some led strip lighting over the bed, and in the awning but that'll happen in a few...

    Better brands and places to get recovery equipment (shackles, etc.)?

    Bubba rope, ARB, Factor 55, yankum off the top of my head. I'd suggest no D rings and only soft shackles. Synthetic winch line is also safer. As for recovery points, it depends on your vehicle. There are aftermarket options of recovery points for many. Most importantly understand the use case...

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    With the help of @TwinDuro the tunnel entry and awning are now mounted and in place. Fabbed up some brackets to mount the awning and it worked a treat. Still need to modify the ladder with some delrin blocks so it'll readily work with the awning down, but overall happy with how it all turned...

    Food storage in Bear Country

    PNW based here: I use a surplus hardigg case for my dry goods, and a cooler for things that need to be kept cool. I try to keep both containers some distance away from the tent, usually just in the truck bed. Now with a RTT I'll be re-thinking where they are kept. At night my trash and recycle...

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    With the RTT obscuring the 3rd brake light I figured it might be wise to add some auxiliary brake lights. Luckily I have a friend who is knowledgeable in the world of lightning tubes (@TwinDuro) and tis is what we came up with. These are great lights, metal housings, sealed, low profile...

    Here we go again 2012 frontier pro 4x MT

    Nice! Good luck with the AAL helping with the rear sag, I initially hoped the same thing but the stock rear leafs are just prone to flattening. Even with very little weight ever put in the bed of mine, they were flat by 20k. I believe it is a design flaw, or just part of the design.

    2011 xterra low lift w 35s build and adventures

    Welcome to the very adjacent to your xterra club! What are your plans for this rig?

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    Got the RTT mounted up, though I'll revise the mounting utilizing the brackets I got from Heavy Metal Offroad vs. the standard ones that come with the tent. Really happy with its footprint and how it sits. It is just inside the roof and cab line, which should help protect it from brush and trail...

    Skinny's Frontier Build - Blanche

    Front and rear bumpers are custom, as well as the roof rack. Eolivas on the club frontier forum builds them with his old man. (one a structural engineer, the other a retired welder) Email him @ erosti2015@icloud.com

    BFGoodrich KO3 coming soon!

    I just can't support BFG after their ads with the crown hicks doing donuts on the Bonneville salt flats and tearing them up. After being called out for the destruction they quietly pulled the ads but offered no statement.
