@NismoCC i wonder why it has different names... like in the US it is Pro 4x then the rest of the world it is named navara.... btw, are your leaf springs squeaks too?
@wilnoy That is a good question for the Marketing folks at Nissan. I am sure they decided to name it differently in an effort to appeal to different international markets in different ways. About the leaf springs.. Yes this used to squeak and drive me crazy. I found that if I kept them clean and blasted them with some high pressure water they would not squeak until the next time I took the truck offroad.
HAHAHA!!! So true... We use our vehicles which include a 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser and a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser to get out and see some of the most amazing areas in and around Arizona. Most people have never and will never see some of these areas. I wouldn't change any of it. Those scratches are just part of the great memories...
That is not a tool box. It is a large plastic tub that I secure in the bed with ratchet straps when we go out 4wheeling, exploring, ad camping. They can be had for about $15-$25 at most stores and they work great!
My wife and I both have 1962 Willys hers is the wagon mine the pickup each one is one is needed just to get to our house on our property at about 7,500 foot elavation each have3"lifts -BFG-Ko's-lockers-533 gears 2.90 -1 transfers top speed with the 35's 1st gear low is 3 mph the still both have there flat 226 sixes and can out most new 4's made now.
Correct just because someone has a nice looking truck does not mean it needs dents and scratches to prove they have been off roading it's called using it not abusing it. When off road most insurance companies will not cover body damage if it's a least truck it has no bussiness off road unless u have the bucks to pay for the damage and some of u guys must not no u can four wheel without body damage.
4wheeling without body damage is easy. None of my vehicles have body damage that I am not able to repair myself and I am not a auto body expert by any means. Most of all, our vehicles have scratches from the brush and trees you encounter on the trails. We are not the type of people to go out and trim brush around the trails just so we can get through without scratches. That is pathetic that anyone would do that since you are now damaging the environment for your own selfish desires.
That's totally true. Use it! Otherwise, you might as well just drive an Altima or something. Truck looks great, and the way it scaled that slippery wet rock.... impressive!
Thanks man! It was slippery and all the white stuff you see around on the ground was actually hail from the big thunderstorm that had just past. It is all about the tires and rear locking differential.
HA! Why would this be considered abuse? I am proud to say that I have used my truck in manners in which it was intended to be used unlike many people who drive them like they are million dollar Bentley. My truck is in great shape without a single problem or cosmetic defect and I love it!
@JosephMBoyer Specs on the truck, and yes it has a 3 inch lift: - 2007 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4x4 Nismo - 3 inch Calmini/PRG lit with Deaver AALs and Bilstein 5150 shocks - 285/75r16 BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM2s - Shrockworks skid plates - 4x4 Parts rear differential skid plate - Custom rock sliders - Custom bed mounted spare tire carrier - Cobra 75WXST CB radio w/ Wilson 1000 antenna - Yaesu FT-2800 Mil-SPEC 2M Ham radio w/ Diamond antenna - 2 degree timing advance - Modified air box
Engines are exactly the same. The difference is going to be the offroad goodies. For example the traction control, hill start, hill decent, locking rear differential, Bilstein shocks, and some skid plates that are not worth much. Congrats on the new truck!
i really dont like the exterior styling of the newer frontiers...they look similar to all other smaller pickups out there but nissans are definitely the best trucks on the road!
mine frontier had the same squeaks to ,i put grease on them and its gone for good:)

Indeed, it was very wet and slippery. The tires and the rear locking differential is what got me up the hill. That and a smooth throttle... Thanks!
