I bought a new arb for an xterra for $500 and installed it on my 2013 frontier today. Everything bolted right up. I had to trim the bumper several times to get it lined up but I think I turned out great.
Arb bumpers are known to stick out more in the front then other brands. Even if its out more then a frontier bumper I'm ok with that given that I saved over $500 lol.
And these ome shocks and 608 springs go in tomorrow.
That's where I had to keep trimming to make it fit. I think the frontier bumper sticks out more on the outside compared to the xterra. But I'm ok with it.
The KO2's are 265/75r16. I had 285s before and didn't like the constint shifting from the tranny and the sluggish feel. So far I'm loving the KO2's. Went through 2 feet of snow last weekend and they did great.
That looks good! I've always liked the ARB bumpers, almost bought one a few years ago for a good price but it was down in Seattle. Did you use an electric beaver to trim the fenders? :laugh:
Lol sawzall. I'll be honest I didn't exactly cut it perfectly straight. It was a little difficult to cut with the plastic bumper moving around so much.
And if anyone's interested the guy I bought this from has one more new arb bumper left for sale in auburn, wa.
Just saw this what kinda ? is that V is next wk already went in hock 4her and the 1k for himself not to mention if he did that might switch sides an have to knock off Capt oldlady lol
Jealous wish it wasnt so far Id get it I want it looks nice
Now, I guess I don't understand. My wife is the one that bought the lockers for my X as she wanted them so we could do harder trails in Moab. I expected a wife that drives an X would want to see if she could outdo the hubby on the trail. To my wife the bumper would be the best V Day present she could get!
I agree but it's her truck so all up to her lol. All she wants is a small lift and wheels/tires. We take the frontier when we hit the trails anyways.
I actually just asked her again as I'm writing this. She said she'd rather go to hawaii again. So we just booked a 10 day vacation to maui. Can't argue with that.
