New truck-- What mods?

musicmaker1586 · Dec 23rd, 2005, 11:23 PM

I just brought a 2002 Nissan Frontier CC 4x2 XE red with black fenders.. I made up a list of things that I want to do to it... My overall goal of this truck is to make it look great, perform better than stock, and to match a red/black Honda CBR600RR sport bike. Please add what ever i am missing or where I should purchase them from!!

Sub box (have to find a custom one)
Bed Rails
Red tie down straps (for the cbr600rr that I am getting)
Fog lights (maybe the ones at autozone with the color changing ring?)
Cold air intake (maybe ebay?)
Decals for roof rack
Window tint (limo all the way around)
Exhaust (catback or just muffler?) (which brand?)
H.I.D. headlights (do they make a real HID conversion kit? or go with the silverstars?)

Future mods:
3" lift kit (brand new tires came with the truck so I might have to wait)
Tires (Probably 31s)
Winch (would I need one?)

Thanks in advance!

All those mods sound great! I'd forgo the lift, but that's just me. I like the stock ride, so I'd be afraid I'd alter it, and I don't do any serious off-roading, so additional clearance is not an issue for me. Otherwise, I like the idea of a matching truck and motorcycle, especially if you'll be hauling it in the truck! Once your project is complete, post some pics of the truck and bike, sounds sweet!

Most of your mods sound good to me with a couple of exceptions. I would not raise the truck as I would not be taking my 4X2 off of the road and as has been mentioned
your ride will suffer from it. I would think the lift kit and
big tires would hurt your gasoline mileage.

It looks like it would make it a lot harder to load your motorcycle with the lift kit as well. I have enough trouble
loading my lawn mower in the back of my LE KC.

We just did a group buy on the Volant CAI and got close to $50 off the list price. You can do a group buy for your truck or watch for some bargains that may show up after Christmas.

On the lights go to www.danielsternlighting.com to get his
take on lighting. He told me that the '05 Frontier was dif-
ficult to upgrade not sure about the '02. He also said he
would recommend the GE Nighthawk over the Sylvania
Silverstars.

You might check with your local muffler shop for other options than the catbacks. For about the same price of a catback you can get a true dual set up and will have a lot more options as to which muffler you are able to use.

Unless you are going to be off roading or driving in snow and ice I would think that the winch would be overkill.
It would also add considerable weight to your truck, a-
nother mpg killer.

Do post pictures of your truck and motorcycle when you get
through with your projects.
