Traded in the Ranger...
 
Traded in my dear old Lucy ('02 Ranger Tremor.) She just had too many problems and I couldn't justify spending another couple of grand on a 7 year old truck with over 150K miles. Nor could I justify spending 10-11 grand on an '03 FX4 LII. I think I'm still sad about it actually... I really like my new ride (see below) but I just have to get used to it. Thanks to everyone on the forum for their help. Look for a classified ad up in a few days with an OHC, shop manuals and some other stuff.

nice new truck! definitely an upgrade! lol

I really do like it a lot... It's a lot smoother than the T-bar setup on the Ranger. It just doesn't quite feel like home to me yet like the Ranger did... I guess it just takes time.

Tys 4x4 FTW 04-27-2009 11:14 AM

yeah im sure you'll get used to it

Nice ride man.

04blackedge 04-27-2009 11:21 AM

Very nice! Needs a mild lift and some meats though!

t3ob 04-27-2009 11:23 AM

nice

zabeard 04-27-2009 11:30 AM

nice truck! have any more pics? I like the nissans but you dont see many out on the roads.

Pro-4X looks like a Nismo Off-Road rebadge but still a sweet ride.

It is a NISMO Offroad re-badge. It was done to bring the Frontier into line with the Titans. Same exact truck as the NISMO, just named differently.

More pics... (Only two others I have on my work comp.)

looks sweet! That would be my second choice to a ford.

Fx4wannabe01 04-27-2009 11:57 AM

I LOVE IT! I've always wanted one since I test drove one back in '05. 6spd, 270hp...funfunfun!



I think 4wheeler magazine is building up the Suzuki counterpart to the Frontier. They used a Cervini lift up front and a Deaver mini-pack for the rear, threw on 33's. If i remember correctly.

rideabikenick 04-27-2009 11:59 AM

ya i like it, its pretty sweet

Rapala 04-27-2009 12:00 PM

:stupid:

Man I wont lie that truck looks good, with a small lift and bigger shoes it would look real mean real quick. Nice choice man

2k2ccyfrt 04-27-2009 02:16 PM

That Calmini SAS kit won't fit my truck. Besides, I read on the Frontier forum how Calmini ain't all that hot. Total Chaos or PRG is the way to go. 3" lift with new UCA and bolt-in KING Coilover shocks with deavers out back... Or SAW's or Radflow's...

However, I didn't buy a brand new truck to immediately start to tear it apart.

Yeah, poor ranger... I know. Lucy was a great truck... But the rear main needed to be replaced along with tie-rods, ball joints and shocks. Just couldn't bring myself to sink even more money into her no matter how much I loved her.

Downey 04-27-2009 03:21 PM

cant blame you dude the Nissan's are sweet i want a titan so bad, my cousin has on but he only gets 12 miles to a gallon

Sonic04Edge 04-27-2009 03:28 PM

if i get another non fullsize truck that will be what i get! love it man!

rangerboy101 04-27-2009 03:32 PM

Dont be sad about trading your truck at all dude that thing is SEXY! Dont lift it though. Nissans just look awkward when theyre lifted.

Melt 04-27-2009 04:24 PM

Nice truck .... when i was shopping for mine i was between a frontier and ranger, friend who owns a used car dealership steered me away from the 1g frontiers though ... said everything after 02 or so is good.

BlutoBodine 04-27-2009 04:30 PM

Like the Nissan. Like the Ranger. Hate the Tacoma.
