now thats a build thread that brings a tear to your eye. you had a great looking truck. did you get another fronty, are we going to see another build coming from you like the rebirth heh

[Irongrave]

right now I'm in a 06 ram, would like to build another frontier in the future but need to pay off the new truck first.

[Irongrave]

the PS pulley i think is now on ben's truck, its parts have been stripped and many have found new homes on many of the truck on here.

[Mandangalo]

any remaining parts? the story of your truck's demise just sucks dude. you had a lot of time into it.

best wishes on the future frontier build

I went to a local Nissan dealer and they told me I couldn't put a factory roof rack on my truck that didn't come with one. How'd you do it?
