#1705 of 2122 Ordering a Frontier by cougar06

All,
Do any of you have experience ordering a vehicle from a dealer? Our local Nissan dealer has 1 frontier, a 2005 2wd CC, the next closest Nissan dealer, 50 miles away, has 5 or 6, mostly basic SE models. I'm interested in an LE 4wd CC gray/gray with possible fosgate/xm and one or two other options/accessories. Have used the search dealer inventory feature on Nissan website, but can't find any even if I search way outside my area. Anyway, do you know what most dealers attitudes are as far as ordering a specific vehicle? This would be my first new vehicle so I want it right!
Thanks

Hello,
 
I don’t know what state you’re in, but the dealer should be able to search all local inventories for what you what. Also they can search for what’s going to be delivered in the next few weeks to the same dealers and mark one for you. There may be an additional delivery charge, but it depends on the dealer. If this is your first new car/truck congrats! You will find that most Nissan dealers have very good customer service.
 
Cheers

Not sure about the hitch. But I bought an extang trifecta folding cover for my 05 Frontier (CC SE). It works great and takes about 15 minutes to install.
 
Good luck

Hey,
 
On 02/28/06, I ordered an 06 Frontier LE Crewcab, with the RockFos Audio PKG. I was told anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, but it could be as late as May.

#1709 of 2122 Tires rubbing by hustoncs

I have a 2005 CC Nismo 4x4 when I turn the wheels to say park in a spot or make a turn sometimes the tires rub against the inside mud flaps both on the left and right depending on which direction I’m turning. By looking at the flaps the passenger side has the tire rub on it more often. Everything is stock any ideals?

Same problem here, caused by the flaps getting bent into the wheelwell when hard off-roading. Two fixes:
 
1. Take them off and manually bend them back. Then reinstall them, pushing aft while tightening the screws. Holding them in the position you want while doing the final screw tightening will help hold them away from the tire. Sounds mickey-mouse, but this worked for me.
 
2. Installed a lift (less than $300) from Greg at prerunners.com. Now I don't hit the flaps when I off-road, so I haven't had to "deform" the flaps since.
 
Personally, I think bendable rubber flaps like Tacoma uses would be better than the hard plastic ones on the Frontier.
 
Worst problem I'm having with Frontier is the road rash on the front of the rear fender flares.

Thanks!
 
This did occur after a hard off-road trip so that’s where I’ll look. About the lift was it a two or three inch lift? Also how has it been working out since I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing in addition did your Nissan dealer whine about it?
 
Cheers

2.5" lift has been great; superb support from Greg. No gripes from the dealer, as all the stock suspension pieces are still there.

I recently changed my lift from 2.5 to the 2". I can't tell a difference in height, but I no longer have any problems with the A-arm. Very happy.

#1714 of 2122 Towing and Brake Controller Questions by mir0

Apr 12, 2006 (12:47 pm)

Has anyone installed an electronic brake controller on one of these, and 7 pin wiring?
How easy/hard, should I let the pros do it, or take on part of it myself?
I have heard that the Frontiers have a wiring harness plug that you can just plug into, but I don't think that would include the 7 pin with electronic brakes.
