My '14 Frontier was an east coast vehicle and at 55k miles, my upper controls arms came out easily but I had to cut and grind my lowers out cause they were rusted shut. I feel your pain with that process.
Great job on your build so far!!! One company to consider for a winch bumper is Coastal Offroad. They have DIY weld yourself kits and mine came out to about $650 shipped with a skid plate (for my '14 Frontier). I got my used Lincoln Electric MIG welder off craiglist for $300. Spent time...
Plans for the next few months will be to install torsion bar relocaters and move the rear axle forward 14" in order to improve the break over angle. Then chop the frame a bit off the rear and build an off road flatbed. At some points I also would like to install a winch bumper with a winch and...
I purchased my 98 Chevy K2500 6.5 turbo diesel earlier this year looking to build a budget off road/overland truck that can also be used to reliable tow a trailer around. The truck has come along way since its beginning so this first thread will be info and picture heavy. The truck was a single...
Yep that’s the one. They contacted me for pictures after I got it done. I honestly love the bumper. It was very discreet, simple and affordable. I welded it together myself and they ha great instructions. I weld as a hobby too and it’s held up with pulling at least 10 vehicles out by now. I have...
No, unfortunately I had to sell it earlier this year because I needed a truck that I could tow with with. One of the few vehicles I’ve owned that I regret selling.
Thanks a lot guys. Got more future plans but for the time being I’ll be helping others. Got a ‘18 Tacoma to lift this weekend, bumper weld up for a 90s Cherokee and a 2004 gx470.
Man I didnt realize I was so far behind on updating this. Ive been doing alot of work on the truck in preparation for a trip next weekend. The simplest upgrades include relocating the trailer plug to the bumper and cutting off the stock bracket. Then I did the differential breather relocation...
Yeah all the Nissan truck guys are waiting for an update any day now. I just couldn't justify paying double for a Tacoma because I only really liked them in the 2016+ years. The frontier has good reliability, that is why its stuck around for so long. I've included an article below but the truck...
Thanks for the support guys. I actually dont mind aftermarket parts depending on the brand. Needless to say, I got the gates bracket again.
Since the truck is still a budget build for me, I dont have the luxury of oem parts. From OEM, the fan blade, clutch and bracket was close to $600 but...
My off road needs have changed in the last few years and my 95 Isuzu Trooper, all though very off road capable, will not be able to tow the size of trailer that my family will be purchasing this year. So after much research I bought a 2014 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x.
As for the lift, I contacted...
Your truck looks really great, I like the low key approach you have!! Function over form. I just picked my 2014 Pro-4x up not too long ago. I got a build up on the clubfrontier site but hoping to put one up here today as well.
Hey I second the consideration of a Nissan Frontier. I recently acquired a 2014 Pro-4x model and they are great trucks. Yes the overall look of the truck hasnt changed in 14 years but that also makes it more affordable over a Tacoma. Dont get me wrong, Tacomas are great and that was my first...
That is a great looking rack!! I am considering building one for a rooftop tent but would like to keep it as light as possible. However I only weld steel and not aluminum so I would like to keep it as thin and light as possible. 175lb seems heavy but you probably have more cross supports then I...
