I am still very surprised at the range of MPG reported here. Maybe folks just can't leave the horses alone. I've had to tap into 'er once or twice to make a pass, so I can see how it might be hard...

This is the website ( I know It is not on the website, but it was on another discussion group). I called him, he designs them himself. He lives in Riverside. If you go to the website, you can email him or call with any questions. I know Stillen also has a leveling kit, I am not sure how much lift you get.
your truck looks Great!!
That is a good looking ride! That kit is just what my Nismo 4x4 needs!
I tried a little to find the guy on the titan forum...maybe I had the wrong forum. :confuse:
Thanks for the info

does any one out there who sails in the same boat as i do?
i bought a new Nissan Frontier, 2005 in May and after driving only 8k miles the flywheel, clutch disk and clutch covers are gone. Dealer says as it got blue, this is because of over heating and abuse..i have not raced or abused my vehicle.. i have been driving stick since i was 16. i thought these trucks were supposed to be tough, but i was wrong.. i lost my faith in Nissan and this is not going to be with me for more than 3-4 months once i get it fixed.. does any one have the same problem? Customer service at Nissan also do not do any thing exceptional for their cusomers.. i will never buy a nissan in my life.. please let me have your feedback if some one has the same experience to share with...

It took about 3 weeks, as they were still engeniering it for the new Crew Cab, as
the New Frontier cab hangs over the bed a little , like a Ford Ranger does,
I was aprehensive till I saw it installed, and it looks awesome, and painted the same color as my truck ( Storm Gray) the way it hinges ,, and the way they fit the curves , where the cab hangs over the bed, makes this S kinda line and, it works great, and looks great , sorry I dont have pics ! im on my fourth tank
of gas, and lovin my truck Im glad I got the auto, and im impressed how just one gear spreads the ratios out an d how well it shifts, and smoother than my o3 that I traded in, glad I didnt get the 6 speed manual if theres gonna be ISSUES ............ besides tired of rowin through the gears , but I could see how the revving up thiong could be an asset , if u were slap shiftin and skippin gears
I just like havin one hand free ..............Ive been trying to stay outa the pedal
till ive got 1200 mi breakin and keep it under 4000 Rs but I can see how' it
could be addictive, and I couldnt even begin to complain about gas mileage, If
I were driving like that , I have had my utility trailer hooked up too and It handles , so much better than my 03 CC did I think people learn that their MPG is dictated by theier driving habits, and circumstances, and situations, my sister drives like hell , and then stops like hell, and then complains about the price of gas, but then isnt that what city driving is anyway, heck U could live in smell A where they drive too Kill, or in bumstead, and drive 60 too 100 miles without turning and the only thing really affecting any change in ones MPG is the grade of the hills, or Mountains from here too there .............
Thanks everyone.
Enhancements to the 2006 Frontier include:
· Power Package added for the King Cab XE model – includes Power windows, door locks, outside mirrors, remote keyless entry and cruise control
· Satin chrome ring accent treatment for meter gauges and chrome vent trim standard on NISMO and LE models
· New shift knob design for NISMO manual transmission models
· Standard glove box lock, lamp and damper
· New exterior colors – Red Alert, Red Brawn and Majestic Blue
IMO, they would not have omitted something as significant as a power tailgate. The glovebox lock is useful though.
I ordered mine today,I can't wait.That is how the 4x4 should look from the factory IMHO....Especially the Nismo
Check out Calmini suspension...They have a 5 inch lift kit coming out any day now.The truck in the pic is similar to your truck(color/CC).I found a source for the billet grille and front prerunner bar on that truck too if anyone is interested.

another reason im glad I got the auto trans kinda helps keep it down. but when the speedo goes too a buck forty!!! kinda makes ya wundr,I opted for the horsepower, with this in mind... if this is the truck I end up keeping..
then when its ten years old and getting tired , should still have some ponys left,
and not a lack of power for climbing these mountains, arround here,
thats another thing that might be affecting my MPG is altitude,
here I had to have my bike rejettet for this altitude, and now it runs like a
champ, where befor it was kind like flooded and sluggish , too much gas not enough oxygen, but when i go south from here too like, New Mexico, and drop in elevation, a thousand feet, or two, then it runs like its race day, these new engines with variable induction, and timing technology,
adjusts by it self, for optimum performance, and adjusts for the load,
this new truck with the anti slip option, even adjusts braking for the payload, and some conditions, then locks up any wheel thats lost traction, and even tells U if u got a flat tire, I still say that if u have the Nismo with all the options,
like the on demand locking diff (on a switch) and the hill decent option, (another on demand--switch--, that those options will require some additional energy to function , and another vehicle with out those options and will affect milege a little not a lot but still enough to possibly be as much as 1 too 2 miles per Gal, depending on drivers habits and conditions ....................

My wife was reluctant to drive a pickup truck preferring a SUV. After driving it for the first time Friday, she was impressed and drove it again this am. We plan to use it for some of our trips as it's mileage is much better than the Armada. Before I had 500 miles, the MPG was 18-19 on the Interstate. After 500, it increased to 20-21 and even a saw 22 pop up a couple times.
The dealer, Herb Gordon Nissan in Silver Spring, MD learned that the Nismo configured as I wanted was going to be shipped to a NJ dealer in mid-August. They worked out a car trade and sent a driver to NJ to pick up the truck at no extra cost to me. (Another dealer was not willing to hunt for it and wanted me to order an 06, so they lost the sale.)
My cost was somewhat under the Edmunds price, but hard to compare due to some things I added, the way taxes are computed, etc. It has all the options except leather. Really enjoy Sirius on the Rockford-Fosgate. Have ordered a Fold-A-Cover that should be in next week. My GSD seemed to approve of the truck as he rode in the back seat with his head out the window.
My only DISAPPOINTMENT is the MUD GUARDS. They DO NOT adequately PROTECT the sides and I have several nicks on both sides. (Never had this problem with either the 4Runner or the Armada. Could be the running boards help.) Did searches on the net this am to find after market replacements and so far, no luck. If anyone has found larger mud guards that work on the Frontier, please e-mail me.

New Nismo owner, vehicle obtained by dealer trade at Herb Gordon, loaded except leather (no Sat radio, though). That's quite a coincidence. I'm in No. Va.
BTW, trying to stay on topic, what's up with closing the trails in the GW Forest?
Nismo 4x4 automatic crewcab
My dash is the same way,also.That is the only thing on my truck ,as far as fit and finish goes,that I am dissapponted with.
Compared to the s-10 I had before it(also bought new) it is in a different class.The GM was put together terribly! In fact,the 3rd door handle broke on that truck before I left the lot.I'm glad to be back in another Nissan.
Have you received any other information on your rusty dash brackets?
any truck bulit in the 90's just suck,any in the 60,70,80 just kick-AXX.
Go Nissan!at least they will last you a life time,more then I can say for Chevy!
I like the roof rack, though a lot of people say it looks tacky. But they don't seem to offer many options with an SE, which is the only model with CC/4x4/6sp
It runs on regular just fine, that is what Nissan recommends.
