Hello and greetings from Pa. I am a new 2002 Frontier owner and a new member of the forum. I am new to nissan but not to cars and trucks. My previous vehicle was a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2" lift and 31" tires. I wanted something a little smaller and with a truck bed so... I purchased my truck new to me in March 2010.

Current Specs:
Painted the rims with black bed liner paint.
7in touch screen radio/dvd/nav
two 7in LCD's in the headrests for the kids
5in lift in the front and back
UCA and Shocks in front
Add-A-Leaf 3 pack and shackles in back
Longer brake lines front and back
Steering stabilizer
Stock tires from previous owner 265/70/16
Custom roof rack for high lift jack and utility box
1.5" wheel spacers to bring the front in line with the back

Future Mods:
Locking diff for the rear axle
Rear bumper with tow hitch, maybe prerunner style
Front bumper
Bed cover & bed liner coating
new tires 285/75/16 (33s) BFG or Grapplers


-- Updated specs 1/2/11 ---

Needs Done:
I have weld on rock sliders that just need put on the truck. I am hoping for a warm day this Nov to do it as i don't have a garage.

NICE RIDE!!! I got an 04. What kind of shocks r u running under your truck? Im looking to replace my stocks. The ride is kinda harsh cause theres no springs in the front.

I put the heavy duty 5100 blister shocks from 4x4 parts. I also got the longer shocks. They where about 3 to 4 inches longer for the back. The fronts where maybe 1 or 2 inches longer. The longer back shocks do add allot of flex. I drove up a small hill with one front tire and the gap at the back wheel was like 2 feet wide. I should take a picture.

Welcome, very clean truck considering the age ...

 

[curtisonline]

The truck is in pretty good shape. I got it about 4 weeks ago. It was a one owner local trade with 100k miles. There are some clear coat chips/peeling on the front end and a few other cosmetic things but overall its sound.

I actually made it with some square tube. Exhaust clamps and a hitch lock.

Here is the article i made.

I got my 33 inch tires today. They are Nitto Terra Grappler 285/75-16. I got them at NTB for around $1100 out the door for 5 tires.

The photos are from my phone so they are not the best. I can say they are already better than the Toyo Open Country AT i had on before. I can park out front of my house in the snow and not have to put it in 4wd.

Tires look nice. Why does it look to me that the rear axle is a couple of inches too far forward? The tire appears to not be centered in the wheel opening.

Not sure.. I thought that also. Maybe its from the add a leaf. It pulls the axle down and front a little. This is normal as it happened on my jeep also.

Welded on the pass side rock slider today. I ran out of gas for my mig welder so i will have to do the drivers side tomorrow. I also got a new cross link bar. Mine was worn out and the new tires wiggled at the 9 - 3 positions.
