A Small Update On My 2024 Nissan Frontier! New Tonneau Cover & "Raptor" Style Grill Lights!

when you popped the hood , by the air box is a hex key wrench set just sitting there. No one saw this? and you shut the hood so if you had no idea and you been driving around it surely fell down onto ground.

@@PRO4XKEV I may have 😂 I didn't have much time to properly look for tools as I had just beaten the rain we had coming

[@JJsGA]

@@PRO4XKEV just checked, found em. It was the whole torx key set 😂 they went for a 300ish mile ride

I hadn't considered adding grill lights to the Frontier but I will admit that they look good; I'll keep them in mind for down the road.

[@JJsGA]

@@reignfire85 it's a quick n easy install too. I went with a clip in set so no drilling into the grill! 50$ off amazon!

Z-1 OFROAD HAS THE RAPTOR grille lights to, theirs are smoked and easy install... 100.00

I have a soft roll up on my 2023 RAM 1500 classic Warlock, i dont worry about people cutting it to see what i have but your choice, some of the folding ones block the rear window when you fold them too so check for that. Nice truck though, you know your Frontier has more towing capacity that my RAM with the 3.6. Thats a nice little truck, i called about an SL in my area, also comes with a sunroof too for about 41, maybe a little less.

Looks good.

[@RyanShannon85]

Raptor is mandated to have grill lights because its width exceeds 80", just looks goofy when tacomas and other small trucks with raptor light trying to bite a style thats actually for compliance. Source: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 108, (aka Title 49, Subtitle B, Chapter Five, Section 571.108 of the Code of Federal Regulations) lays out the legal details around vehicle lighting.

[@JJsGA]

@@RyanShannon85 yes, I know why the raptor has them. They have to due to the width of the truck. May be goofy to you, that's fine. You have the right to your opinion. To each their own...but that's the beauty of being able to customize a car/truck to your tastes. If not for the ashtetics, they may actually provide better oncoming visibility for other drivers in low light conditions...so not entirely useless.

Thanks for the information. I'm planning on getting a prox in a few weeks and soon thereafter a tonneau cover. Been on Amazon and a few times checking out the options. 260 bucks sounds pretty reasonable. Does the tonneau leak at the front of the bed?

[@JJsGA]

@@davidryder5082 it does some but I readjusted it to sit a touch lower so I'll have to wait for more rain to see if it leaks less or not at all. Yeah 260 is a solid price for sure

[@davidryder5082]

@@JJsGA thanks for the response. I bought a very cheap oedro for my Sierra and leaked when going through the car wash near the tailgate. I was curious if spending more would alleviate that. Enjoyed the video and hit the subscribe button.

​@@davidryder5082 Thank you!

[@JJsGA]

​@@davidryder5082 so yesterday, before the remnants of Beryl moved into the area, I readjusted the tonneau to sit a little lower on the bed and it significantly reduced water getting in. There was still water in the bed but way less. I'm wondering if I further adjust it at the front of the bed it that would help OR see about adding some weather stripping to the front of the bed to aid the seal on it.

How are your headlights strobing

[@JJsGA]

@@hookedfpv3219 they aren't. It's an effect created when the camera's frame rate matches the refresh rate on the LED head lights.

@@JJsGA I feel so stupid I’ve been asking everyone lmfao 🤣 wow thanks though I’ve been in my truck trying to figure out how they were wow 😮

@@hookedfpv3219 lol it happens. Better to ask and learn ya know
