i didn't want all that extra stuff on my frontier also and the after market stereos are far better then the ones they put in them , another thing is that roof rack i think it is so ugly i wouldn't have bought my truck if that came on it. but if you want a good stereo i would go with alpine or kenwood.

That's a good roof rack setup IMO. Carries my work ladders beautifully. Beefy and strong. My only concern was it was reported that the rack whistled at above 40m.p.h. It hasn't happened to me. And the Rockford-Fosgate is all I'll ever need or want at my age.
Love this truck!

Seat modification? by randyfromde

Hi everyone-
 
I'm a large guy (6'5", 265 lbs) and I'm interested in purchasing a new truck. I've currently got a '96 Dodge Dakota, which fits but is getting up there in miles.
 
I've test driven every midsized pickup, and the Frontier is the one that fits the best. However, it'd be better if the seat was about 2" lower than the lowest setting allows (or the default in the SE). Right now, I get slight vision blockage by the sun visor, although it is tolerable. I just need to lean forward a bit to see the traffic light when stopped.
 
Does anyone make a lower profile seat that isn't one of those weird racing things? Has anyone heard of someone modifying a 2005+ Frontier in this manner? Where would I go to get this done (assuming it can be)?
 
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
 
BTW, I already tried the Titan and the Toyota Tundra, they're no better in the vision department.

Tonneau Cover, Bed Extender & MPG & Torque by tent2tt

I have a Nissan NISMO 4x 4 CC with the (re)moveable bed extender. Two questions:
 
1. The dealer told me that with the tailgate locked, no one can remove and steal the bed extender, but I was easily able to remove the bed extender with the tailgate locked. Am I missing something in terms of securing it so it cannot be removed?
 
2. I want a two or three panel HARDSIDE lightweight, removable and lockable tonneau cover that works with both the Utilitrac and the moveable bed extender. The one in the Nissan Accessories catalog looks good, but I am sure it's very pricey. Has anyone bought anything like this and how do you like it?
 
3. Has anyone found an aftermarket product that really does improve the mpg and torque? I saw an ad for a very extensive-looking exhaust/intake system that claims to improve gas mileage by up to 15% and increase the torque too. What works? What doesn't?
 
Thanks!

See my post in the Toyota Tacoma vs Nissan Frontier. I told about the cover and other things I did to get better gasoline mileage. All I can say is that it certainly is nice to be able to lock my bed up and not have to worry about someone stealing the contents.
 
I do not have a bed extender so I cannot help you with that question.

In regard to thefy, no you're no missing anything -- there's no theftproof mounting method. You can make it difficult to steal by threading a bicycle chain around it and a cleat, then fix the cleat in the rail with the end-of-rail fasteners you ought to have.

I believe the bed devider (not extender)won't come out with the gate locked. On either accessory though, if you took the time, you could unscrew the main part from the mount. They may get the gate but not the whole unit. Those little track blocks help here too.
FWIW, I made a 10' vinyl covered 1/8" steel cable that I can fish through either accessory (and bikes, yaks etc) to lock them down.
 
Tonneau, it's not hard sided but you should look at teh Access roll tops. Lifetime warrenty, don't interfear with teh utility tracks, 10 sec open/close, they lock from the inside AND they make an adapter to allow use of the bed extender. I love mine ( Lorado version).
 
My 07 has less than 3K miles on it and I'm already averaging 19-20 mpg on regular gas (1/3 highway, 1/3 stop and go, 1/3 rural). The trick is to get it into 5th gear and keep the RPM's low whenever you can. The sweet spot seems to be 40-65 MPH and 1200-2000 RPM. Heck , that's as good as my 4 cyl , 5 spd 01 Tacoma got all day long.
