What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I bought an extra tire same as the other 4. Rotation is key.

 

Installed this bed extender i picked up from Amazon:

i like that it’s black instead of silver like oem one you can get from toyota. Plus the edges aren’t slanted, but more rounded in corners which adds to cargo capacity a bit.
Was pretty easy to install, but i had to remove my bed stiffeners to install this so that sucks, but it’s nice for hauling lumber.

 

I applied Fluid Film to underside and frame.

 

Does it flip like the Nissan version? It looks like it lifts out then is placed on the tailgate

 

@DustyMcTaco I have the same on on my 2nd gen, happy with it so far!

 

i know nothing about nissans

 

I see it does flip good deal.

 

It has a pivot point and can fold inside the bed or out on the tailgate.

 

I had a frontier in my stable at one time. never modded it thou. Really didn’t have too lol.

 

My cargo net serves its purpose. Basically keeps the golf clubs from crashing into the bulkhead when stopping lol.

 

Yup I was inbetween C rated and E rated. Chose C rated for more comfort. I honestly don't even feel the ride is much harsher than stock. Sound level wise they are also similar to stock imo.

 

I run E rated coopers and they’re extremely tough. I bump them up to 65psi for any long highway trips, 34psi for around town and 16-18psi for the trails. I’ve wrapped them around some sharp rocks and they took it like a champ. I’d say if you’re planning to do any serious trails and want to travel a ways to them, E rated tires are a good choice. Good piece of mind for me anyways, I can worry a little less about tearing open a tire.

 

65 psi. Seems like a lot.

 

I put E-rated Radial TA's on a 1996 Jeep 4-cylinder Cherokee. After 9 years they were not worn out yet but we took them off and put new C-rated tires to get rid of the log truck ride. That Jeep was just not heavy enough for those tires.

 

Neither are our trucks when it comes to snow. FWIW

 

It is, but it definitely helps rolling down the highways 65-70. Makes a little difference in mileage. I air them back down when I get to wherever I’m going. I rotate every 5k with the oil change (5 tire rotation) and they’re wearing very even.

I run around 28-30psi when the snow hits. Adjusting the psi to how you’re driving or what you’re driving on makes a huge difference as most people know. Most just don’t take the time to do it! It can get a little annoying if you don’t have a compressor though. But I find it makes a world of difference.

 

It’s cause it is

 

Visited her at the shop while she’s getting fixed up. All parts are in stock except for the tailgate.But I can use my original tailgate for a bit if I have to as it wasn’t really damaged too bad (picture for context).

 

Yup, same reason I run E rated Coopers too, i only run about 35-40 PSI though, air down to about 15...a couple of punctures with C rated on the trail and the ride/mpg loss takes a back seat. C are fine if you're mall crawling

 

Hmmmm.... donuts.
