    Build ideas/suggestions for my 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

    Oh if you’re gonna be heading off-road the first real upgrades should be skid plates , sliders and a winch . A rock or big stick in the oil pan , trans pan or radiator can really ruin a day

    Build ideas/suggestions for my 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

    Definitely just get out and use it first before planning any mods . Everybody has a different idea of what “off-road” is so everyone is going to need to modify a little differently if at all to get the places they want to go . A good set of tires , some recovery gear and some basic tools will...

    Thoughts on portals ??

    Cost is the biggest hurdle for them , you could regear 5 rigs for the cost . I would do it in a heartbeat if I had that kind of spare dough

    Looking for recommendations for new tires.

    What kind of terrain do you drive ? what’s your on/off-road ratio ? do you encounter snow ? are you towing much ? if your just hitting a gravel road from time to time and putting on a ton of street miles your gonna need a different tire than if your hitting hard trails every weekend

    2007 GX 470 - Samwise Gamgee

    Run the same tire in a 315 7516 I mainly chose them because they were the skinniest 35 I can find, but I gotta say I loved the almost no rolling resistance of the tire even stepping up to a 35 in my rig, I only lost one MPG and I find myself having to use my brakes more because when I let off...

    Choose my engine - Disco 1

    Bigger question , what’s your budget, what’s your timeframe , what’s your mechanical ability ? usually with engine swaps you figure out how much it’s gonna cost and how long you think it will take then you double the money and triple the time .
