Hey guys, whats going on? I Jeremy, from Jasper, AL, I drive a 98 4x4 Nissan Frontier Ext. Cab. I'll have to find a picture before I can post it, but I will post one later.

[Big-Bird]

You already kinda started that.....2 stickys below.

I want other posters to put their pics up. My truck has had its day in the limelight...at least for a little while.

More modifications coming soon!

Hello - found this site while reading on http://www.nissanfrontier.net. I joined here due to my fondness of all things Nissan!

My daily driver is a 2002 Frontier, painted BRIGHT (Solar) YELLOW! That color looks great on the Zs too!

I'll try to post a pic later...

DRIVE!

Hello. I introed myself in the general forum about a week ago. But I guess I'll do the shorty version here.

My name is Nate, I drive a 2002 nissan frontier CC longbed 4x4 with too many mods to list. I live in Atlanta GA. I was in the 2006 Real Truck club challenge, 2004 Raid North GA (1st place) 2005 Raid N GA (3rd place) 2006 Raid N GA (1st place)....I am treasurer of NOAS (www.NOAS4x4club.com)...

here is the link to the other post with pics and a few vids.

Seriously bad arse.At CN4XC we have 3 Pathfinders with SAS conversions.

2 are on 35's with dana 44's under the frame.The other rides on 33's ( He had some garage restrictions so that was his max.

We have a Bob-tailed Hardbody that is going in for it's SAS conversion to 3/4 ton high-pinion dana 44's and his plan is for 38" Iroks on an 8 bolt Hummer wheel he picked up for cheap. Should be done in May/June sometime so I wll post when that one is done.

the truck is already wild with it's full exo - cage and rear deck.

Hey, I'm Chris, I have my third Nissan, a 2003 XTerra, with a 2.4 4 banger.It's what I could afford, and it continues to impress me.I still miss my old 2001 frontier S/C, but I don't miss feeding or maintaining it - still want another one day, but the 2.4 will have to do, married with a kid now.

now, why am I here?

I'm convinced that my XTerra is just right. The only thing I've done so far is put a K&N stock style filter on it, ONLY used synthetic oil (it needs to run forever - easy for a Nissan) oh yeah, and drive it like I stole it everyday. @ 40,000 miles it's just waking up to the fact that it's a Nissan and will run for 200k+ more...pictures? well, none yet, but hey, pull up a stock picture of a silver (ice) 03 XTerra with a roof rack and side step (not too common on the base models) and you've got my Xterra. Kind of reminds me of my 86 Sentra, which is why reason for liking Nissans - discovering that they don't die. Yes, it looks like most every other one out there, I'm cool with that, I just want it to GO like no other!!!

[Luv2ski35]

Wow...you got a rare Xterra there. I haven't seen a 4 banger X since 99 maybe...

Check out my Nissan offroad club:http://www.NOAS4xclub.com

we have 3-4 runs a year and about 6-7 members from FL that come to them.

We have our annual members only run at Riverrock ORV in Miledgeville GA in April and already have a confirmed showing of 29 trucks....

My buddy is going through an engine rebuild on his KA in his hardbody in the next few months. He plans on doing the upper end for now and leaving the bottom stock....he's a nissan master mechanic, so I guess he can do whatever he wants...

[CTSpeed413]

[Wow...you got a rare Xterra there. I haven't seen a 4 banger X since 99 maybe...]

NICE! I'd be interested in finding out what your friend does to his and any relatively cheap mods I can do for now, that won't void the warrantee. Going to wait until either the vehicle is paid off or the warrantee is expired before going too nuts. Right now it's my main transport. VERY reliable of course.and yes that is one bad *** truck.

[CTSpeed413]

Ok, I know that this is lame. Since I don't have any pics of my XTerra available (really sad, because I've had it for 3 years now) I do have my old Frontier, and my wife's old frontier. Kinda wish we'd kept 'em both. But I was bound to get into trouble with mine, sooner or later. It was just too much fun. It drove like a CAR a really quick car too!!!

[IMG][/IMG] umm this isn't working, maybe I need IE... brb

[Big-Bird]

Tell me Desert Rat, how do you like your Calmini sterring system? Specifically the idler arm?

[Desert Rat]

It's on its second one. they wear. The second one is holding up fine now that Calmini changed the bushing. Before I did the axle conversion on the Frontier, I had the Spencer Low setup on it....it costs twice as much as the calmini setup, and it ate idler arm bushings too....however, since it used a modified stock arm, replacement bushings were cheap and readily available.

[AZhitman]

Hey Rat! I think I may have met you before here in the Valley... Brief chat in a parking lot after I commented on the "badass Frontier".

[Desert Rat]

could be. The truck draws a lot of attention even as the body gets more and more dilapidated from all the wheeling....poor thing has been getting beat over AZ trails for nearly 9 years now.

I finally got around to formatting this image so it can fit it here. Destination Xterra no longer exists so there is no issue with posting this now. My local photo studio took the picture with an 8MP camera and did all the corner images in photoshop. Then I had a 24x48 inch photograph printed up for my garage. The center image is the real thing by the way.

[Dano]

Gorgeous! I love it!

-Dan

[Desert Rat]

Holy cow, BB....I can tell that thing has never been wheeled hard.

I've not seen one where those front mudflaps have survived more than one foray into the rocks!

Pretty truck tho.

[Big-Bird]

The image was from Summer of 2005. And it's had it's fair share of damage of past carnage. You already know the usual suspects yourself DR.

But I don't beat the tar out of it either since it is my daily driver.

[Desert Rat]

Yeah, it's nice to have my Frontier and Xterra sitting in the garage waiting for weekends. I hate using up mud tires on the freeway commuting to work.

With 4 vehicles, I do pay for a heckuva lot of car insurance though. Fortunately the two trucks and my commuter are paid for...just making payments on the wifey's car.

[Dano]

Rat... time to post more pics of your rigs!

-Dan

[Big-Bird]

Going back to 2003 I found myself snooping in various Nissan Sites around the world one day and I discover the Xterra has a brother.

It's built in China only and today I went back the site and looked at the 2007 model. They have some nice styling cues. Notice the fenders and quarter panels are very similar to the Frontier?. Look at the bumper and those cool driving lights. Even the interior is a bit different.



And it has been in the Dakar Rally since they started building them.

[Desert Rat]

Ah, the Paladin.

More pics of my trucks?

I'll see what I can dig up.

[XterraVersa]

[mike@jtuned]

Wow that looks like TONS of fun! Wish I was 4WD
