So heres my story, got this frontier last October, and i fell in love with it. So the build process began, and rapidly i might add. I do retrievals for S.N.O.R.E. and BITD out here in las vegas, so i needed the truck to be off road capable, and me and the lady love to go dry camping, finding trails to take down to the river and camp for the weekend. so far the truck has yet to fail me. So here is a list of what i have done to my truck. let me know what you think. Thanks.
First thing i did was order a viper alarm off amazon with a smart start module and then i enlisted a buddys help who is an installer for best buy and with a saturday and sunday we got it installed, this is the only thing i didn't document or take pics of, and for that i am sorry.
So next i got prg uca's and spacer lift, man did that make a difference. and the price was perfect. I found a guy selling his setup for $500 which included the prg uca the level 8 strike 6 wheels and cooper 285/75/16 AT's. i drove to cali snatched up the deal. Came home took the coopers off sold them for $400 and threw on my good year fierce attitudes and came out with wheels and ucs for $100
after that i started the bolt on's, so i went to my buddies exhaust shop. I knew i wanted something that didn't sound too loud or ricey, so he dialed me in with a magnaflow and it sounds perfect. its there when i get on the throttle, but not droning when on a long road trip. so we cut this huge heavy thing out. and we dumped the exhaust right after the axle, i knew i didn't want it coming out the rear as to avoid hanging it up on anything in the future.
then we added this, did i mention he did the exhaust for free. in vegas its all about who you know.
next was the intake after reading on here and online i decided to go with the Volant coi and it was a super easy install and i love the way it looks and sounds highly recommend it if anyone is not sure which one to purchase. and for only $200 shipped i couldn't pass it up.
Now i decided it was time to start adding some accessories like a radio that was capable of playing songs from my iphone
Next i went down to Mc'Fadden Dales (home depot for professionals) and i got a fuse box. i ran a pos and neg cable from batt to the fuse box which will be for my two light bars im currently working on mounting brackets and for on board air compressor, and various led light pods also going on the truck. then i directly added another cable to the pos connection of the fuse box and ran that into my cab. i did this so i only have one wire going thru my firewall. from that wire i added another fuse box but a smaller one to run my power inverter, amp for my sub, my cb radio, and my ham radio. all mounted and installed beneath my driver and passenger seats. I am really happy with the way it turned out because i always found it tacky to have 8 wires going to all tmy accessories in the cab and running thru the firewall, this is a much cleaner alternative.
this is the sub
and this is the infinity 1000 watt amp powering the sub installed under the passenger seat
in the front under neath the passenger seat is where i installed my ham radio
recently ive been working on building my own rock sliders these are the pics from the build process, they are projected to be completed next weekend. but check out the pics. my mounting system is easy to install and still supports the whole trucks weight . can't wait to get them complete and move on to building my own bumper.
hope you enjoy if you have any questions on what ive done let me know i can explain more in detail and give more pics , the only thing i wish i would have taken more pics or more time detailing was the viper alarm it wasn't that difficult just time consuming.
