tingtang's 2005 Nissan Frontier

MODIFICATIONS
The truck is so new and so stock I find it difficult to start changing things yet. Plus I'm still paying for it so I don't have a lot of extra money for stuff yet. But so far:

Sylvania SilverStar Headlights:
Replaced the OEM headlight bulbs (which were also Sylvania by the way) with Sylvania SilverStars. Doesn't seem to make a huge difference in the brightness of the lights but the light is a lot whiter which I prefer.

Power Window Switch Bezels:
The 2005-06 Nissan Pathfinder has the same switch bezels but in a brushed aluminum finish. An easy in-and-out swap.

Lots of people have asked, so here are the Nissan part numbers:
-- LF = 80961-EA300
-- RF = 80960-EA300
-- LR = 82961-EA300
-- RR = 82960-EA300
Sign my Guestbook and let me know how it works out for you!!!

Custom Grille:
Bought from a vendor on eBay. This is the bolt-on, overlay type of grille. The factory grille is still there underneath.

Hard Tonneau Cover (OEM):
Hard to call it a modification. This should be on the front page with the Options, but I ordered (and financed) it with the truck in July 2005 and it was back-ordered until Feb 2006. Since it wasn't there initially and got added later it gets listed here.

Manik Step Bars:
These are the stainless steel bars. They were a little more expensive than some but the quality is excellent and well worth the cost. One of the nicest bolt-ons I've ever seen for ANY vehicle.

Nissan iPod Interface (OEM):
This is the iPod interface made by Nissan (actually by Clarion but sold by Nissan). The iPod is controlled by the Rockford-Fosgate deck, and the steering wheel stereo controls can also be used. Don't have any pictures -- the only visible part is a wiring pigtail that hangs out of the upper glove compartment. A very nice addition, and it makes the 6-disc CD changer pretty much unnecessary!

===================================================================================

Future Plans, pretty much in order:
-Upgraded Speakers -- In the works!!
-Cold-Air Intake
-Throttle Body Spacer
-???
(List is getting short. Any suggestions??)

===================================================================================

Here's a couple pictures of my last truck - a 1995 Ford Ranger. I had a 1989 Ranger before this one. I loved the Rangers and they served me well, but I'm definitely a Nissan convert now!

I like your idea of the pathfinder switch bezels! Did you change out just the bezels? Or the entire switch assembly? The reason I ask is I think the Pathfinder has auto down on both front windows, not just the drivers side like in the frontier. Also, are the bezels costly?

nice fronty. i also went from a ranger to the nissan. so far it has been a good transition. just a couple questions about the box cover.....do those handles stick up all the time, or were they just popped up in the pics you took? and how much did you have to dish out for it? you can check out both my frontier and my 2000 ranger, i have pages made for both of them here on cardomain.
