@@HardEnduro8 I own a 2019 pro-4x. I bought it new as It's my daily all around slash weekend camp trail vehicle. Mine was 32k and I couldn't see paying 47k for a new comparable Tacoma or a base model Jeep Gladiator. I bought it early 2019 and in late 2019 my wife got a job opportunity to Sydney Australia. Then covid happened and Australia has kept its borders closed and our move suspended. Unless it's a temporary import less than 6 months, all of Australia except the Northern Territory requires all vehicles built after 1989 to be right hand drive. Covid has allowed me to at least delay the sale, break even on it, and at least enjoy it before I sell it.

Wow that is a really badass frontier I have a 2012 Xterra and am wondering how the 3-inch lift feels on the highway compared to stock, and how much different your fuel efficiency is now, as well as engine responsiveness. Most people tell me that it's better to go with aftermarket coil-overs + uca's, and for the rear aftermarket leaf springs +shocks, maybe a shackle, and some driveshaft shims. Does the frontier feel more like a 3/4 or 1/2 ton in terms of how much higher you sit now compared to the factory height? I feel Nissan should've made the Xterra and frontier a little taller from the factory, it seems a bit on the low side. Other trucks like Nissan Patrols or 97 Land Cruisers feel taller and give a better view from my experience that my friends have. The Xterra and Frontier are my favourites, I just wish they were at least 2" taller from the factory.

Hey. No feel at hwy speeds with the lift. I have removed my sway bar and it greatly improved my suspension articulation. But at hwy speeds you have to be mindful of quick changes. The greatest hit for MPG is from my mud tires. These are 33” 10 ply tires. I had to trim a little on lower Edge of fender to prevent rub at full turn. But the trade for these tires are priceless off road. The tires Alone lifted the truck 2”. Than another 3 via suspension and I gained another 1” from bilstein shocks. My front axle now sits 12” off the ground and stock is 8”. Don’t get suckered in with the coil over syndrome. My bilsteins perform awesome at 1/3 of the price.

Also UCA are a MUST. That was actually the very first mod I bought for my truck was the UCA’s. without it you will have coil bucket damage. Cheers. 👍🏼

What difference did you get in fuel mileage + high speed cruising after the lift and bumper mod? Did the performance change with the bigger wheels on (acceleration)?

Not much change in acceleration, but it did change the fuel economy.

I didnt catch it in the video if u said it, but what tail lights are those?

Just some smoked eBay tail lamps. Work fine and darken the rear a little bit.

I also dislike chrome! Looking to Plasti-Dip / spray out the bumpers and grill on my new (to me) 2010 SE (45,000 kms!!!). Did you remove the parts to spray, or leave them on and mask off well? If the former, any tips on how would be appreciated. TIA. Great work on your rig. Sensible, affordable and sharp : ) Following!

Thanks man. Yeah I removed the front and rear bumper. Rear bumper took a little work as it’s tied into the tow hitch. I also removed the grill. Thanks.
