A Frontier is nothing like a little Ford Ranger or Canyon/Colorado.  Out of all the mid sizes its one of the bigger ones.

Its used as a truck, in the bush, hauls water, gravel, etc, etc

Not sure why you feel the need to rag on his choice of mods. It's not your truck afterall.

Thanks for posting the pics Spidey, the Frontier is a nice truck.

Hilarious.  This is used as a truck, not some city boy toy.  I live on an acreage and it used as a truck.  My bushguard protects from, guess what, bush when I go back into the bush hunting.  2 winters ago it saved my truck from a tree that would of smashed my front end lights for sure.  So roll your eyes all u want.

Chrome package.  All along the doors and the front end grill now.

Red lettering.  why??  Why not, I designed the font and logos myself, and wanted it to be personlized.  This is the Show 'n Shine thread isnt it.  I didnt want something that everyone had and could buy at canadian tire

Window vent visors.  Stops the vaccuum sound 4 door trucks get when the windows are all open.  Work great and can have my windows open when it rains

Bed divider - used for my toolbox, etc.  Since this is a short box and I haul a water tank, I didnt want a full truck tool box that would eat up ther length.  This way I can take out my portable toolbox when needed, and then it doesnt slide around.  Plus it can be moved up and down and the entire lenngth of the bed, so when I put stuff in the back, its not all sliding around.

About $5 at a comic shop.  Since the truck was grey, I wanted small splashes of red here and there to offset it.  Logos, fuzzy dize, antenna ball and valve stem covers.  Last red thing I plan is getting red calipers when my brakes go, maybe Bremco brakes.  I was debating to just paint them, but havent 100% decided yet

Thank you.  Some people just like to :censor:, or call down things because they dont have it.  Some of the other things were ok because he had them, but the stuff he didnt, he didnt like

Nice Frontier. I like the wheels, it matches the truck nicely.  :)

The Frontier is a rare breed...I don't recall the last time I saw one, yet Suzuki has their own version.  ::) I wonder how many they have sold.

They are everywhere out west it seems.  They are well selling truck, and very hard to find used.  You never see advertisements for them because they dont need to advertise, they sell that well.

The wheels tooks months of looking and deciding.  I had another pair picked out before these, but they stopped making them.  But now that I have these Im glad I got them.

Anyone know how to shrink the pictures to fit?

  Nice lookin truck Spidey :thumbup:

  The red lettering isn't my fav but if every one liked the same things it would be a boring world. If you have any shots showing how your bed divider system is set up I'd be interested to see how its set up. I don't believe I've seen a practical bed divider system that wasn't made of plywood up till now and am curious what innovations there are now.

Thanks.  Ya the red isnt for everyone, but I wanted it to be me, right down to the Homer Do graphic.

The bed divider works with the utility track system,  You can slide it uo and down the side tracks, and then tighten it into any position along.  I was going to go with the bed extender, but this worked better for what I want.  Great for when you have varying load sizes, and prevents stuff from sliding
