Hefty Fabworks 2005+ Nissan Xterra Aluminum Bumper Install

In this video, I'll show you how I installed a Hefty Fabworks aluminum front bumper on my 2008 Nissan Xterra.
Install went super easy. No cutting or drilling required. Excellent craftsmanship, build quality and fitment. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Stay tuned for upcoming videos of Warn Winch installation and aftermarket fog lights.

Really looking forward to receiving my front bumper. Also, can't say enough good about Hefty Fabworks and the people that work there. I purchased my bumper through a business that sells Hefty products but that business, after months of waiting and follow up calls to find out status of my order, seems to have gone out of business. Thankfully, Chris from Hefty Fabworks called me last month to let me know that the bumper was made, but that the seller who went under hadn't paid them yet. After looking into disputing the charge with my bank, and having the bank deny the claim due to the expired time frame, Chris called me today, listened to what happened and decided to honor the order and send the bumper to me anyway. Huge props to Chris and Hefty for being such a standup company - definitely will buy direct from them in the future!

I just picked up a steel bumper from another Xterra owner and I'm super glad you posted this. I have a 2013 and he had a 2008. Besides the grill difference, I am hoping the bumper mounts were the same between the two years.

[@rayregnogarage]

Benjamin Ledbetter should be the same mounting points. might have to trim the grille depending on the lines. or just switch to a 2008 grille?

[@Ben-on3ty]

​@@rayregnogarage I thought about the grill. My wife isn't too keen on me spending more money on it so I am most likely going to just trim my current grill. I tried getting it bolted on today though and I think the measurement between the mounting bolts might be ever so slightly different. But I am working by myself with a steel bumper so the weight is impossible to hold up on my own. Also, super hyped on the channel. I am not sure what you're plans are with it but I am always looking for new Xterra content creators!

[@rayregnogarage]

@@Ben-on3ty Sorry, just now saw this! Just posted a new video on mounting a Ram Mount Tough Track on the interior of the truck to mount an iPad. So far it's been nice having my phone in hands reach but haven't had a chance to go off roading with the iPad mounted there. Hopefully soon!

[@rayregnogarage]

I don't think so, although she's never really gotten "good" mileage. This bumper is aluminum and surprisingly light. It's MUCH lighter than any comparable steel bumper you will find.

[@Nesten321]

I'd assume the difference between the 2005-08 and 09+ bumpers is a slightly different shape rather than different mounting bc they did a face lift in 09 where the grill extends farther down (the dip down in the center is about twice as long)

[@rayregnogarage]

yup! that's the only difference.

how long was the wait time? im thinking on getting the hefty fab Tube Winch Bumper

[@rayregnogarage]

TatsuyaDragon I think the website says there’s a 4-6 week lead time as these are usually built to order. I got mine right away though. I posted on my Instagram story my install of the skid plates, and they DMed me asking me if I wanted a bumper since they happened to have one in stock.

[@shadowfire246]

What did you do about your front wheel well liners? Did you just remove them or trim them?

[@rayregnogarage]

I removed them, but I recently picked up a new rotary tool, so I may look into trimming the liners and putting them back in. I come from a desert racing background and we would just ditch the liners altogether, but I see the value in the liners for water crossings and such.

[@xpkevinxd]

Just subbed! I’m torn between getting an XJ or xterra 🤔 thanks for the vid

[@rayregnogarage]

The xterra is definitely more unique. I think it's more powerful also. But the aftermarket support and the simplicity of the XJ is pretty epic. I want one, too!

[@rayregnogarage]

I want both, I mean. hahaha

[@xpkevinxd]

Lol this is why it’s such a tough decision for me. I’ll go with the best deal I can find and let that dictate which one I go for, cuz I can’t go wrong with either

[@rayregnogarage]

I feel like the Xterra will be more reliable if that matters. Haha. Also, not many people off-road them. So you’re more likely to find one that hasn’t been abused.

[@xpkevinxd]

Stronghold Garage that’s so relevant.. I was actually watching a video on KZbin about financial decisions, and realized sometimes saving money on a car isn’t always a good thing in the long run, so in my case maybe buying an xterra will be a better financial decision because it’s going to last way longer than buying a 20 year old XJ, which btw ain’t that cheap anymore lol. This is why I take my time with this stuff 😂 lots of things to consider

[@crystallizer3437]

hey brother! is it required to remove the inner fender cover?

[@rayregnogarage]

You could trim it. If you leave the front section on it will look weird. I just took it off for convenience.

[@rayregnogarage]

agreed! and easier to pop off in a hurry

[@Trevor-gu8bb]

What did you do to the wheel well trim?

[@rayregnogarage]

You mean the inner fender? I threw it away

[@sub3by08]

The inner steel bumper on my '16 Frontier has 4 bolts that are so tight that the whole HFW project is on hold till I can get them out. I've blown up extensions and now I hope my socket holds up to the leverage I'm going to have to use with the breaker bar.

[@rayregnogarage]

Have you tried some PB Blaster? An impact usually does wonders for that sort of stuff, too. You can also heat up the bolt with a torch or one of those fancy heat induction tools for bolts.

[@sub3by08]

@@rayregnogarage I got them off pretty easy w/ the leverage of a longer bar. Got everything from hefty FW bolted on finger tight and the 2 holes on the bottom of the brackets didn't line up w/ the frame holes so had to take everything off and put the bottom fasteners in first and redo it. What a pita.

How'd you figure out where to cut the fender liners? I've got an Expedition One on order and I'm trying to prep for delivery day.

I literally just eyeballed it. I need to trim some more, though. The tires still rub at full bump. I'll post a video of it when I finally get around to it.

[@blackdotpatrick]

@@rayregnogarage I didn't realize you need to trim the liners. Did you do this video about the fender liners?

[@rayregnogarage]

@@blackdotpatrick I never got around to them for the Xterra. I may have even thrown the liners away. Out of curiosity, I DID trim the fender liners on my Ranger but the next time I pull the liners off, I won't put them back on. I just prefer linerless fenders. Makes it much easier to service the truck without them. I did a video on trimming the liners for the Ranger. I imagine the process is very much the same. You'll just need to find anchor points to zip tie the loose ends of the liner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ3GmZiEfNNssJo

How are you liking it so far? And complaints?

[@rayregnogarage]

No complaints so far! Still need to get the winch for it, though!

[@DanielChapman111]

Just curious, when you did get a winch did you have enough room to work it in without taking the bumper back off? I bought my xterra with a heftyfab bumper already installed but no winch. If I can do it with the bumper in place I may try to tackle it myself, but if I have to take it off I'll probably bribe a friend to help.

[@rayregnogarage]

I actually haven’t mounted a winch yet. But am pretty sure it would be necessary to remove the bumper to mount it. It’s pretty tight in there.

[@DanielChapman111]

Just in case anyone else comes in here wondering the same thing... I got a smittybilt x20 comp and you actually do have room to maneuver that winch into place without taking of the bumper, but there is a vertical plate between the holes on the bottom outside edge and where you would need to bolt it in, so it'd be almost impossible to install and tighten the bolts that hold it to the mounting plate. Had to fab up some mount points for the control box, but otherwise it is a great fit in this bumper.

[@rayregnogarage]

@@DanielChapman111 great to know! thanks!!!

[@TG-cf6qb]

Can it work on the 2013 Frontier?

[@rayregnogarage]

The process should be very similar on the Frontier as they are the same platform, but the bumper will be slightly different. Hefty Fabworks does sell a bumper for the Frontier. www.heftyfabworks.com/store/Nissan-Frontier-Front-Bumpers-c13441632

@@rayregnogarage, thanks for the quick response! I have a '17 Frontier SV 4x4 and am looking at either putting a Smittybuilt or Warn winch in upon arrival. Just have to decide which one. Have you already measured out what dimensions that recess allows for a winch install? I'm not sure any of my winch options will fit without relocating the control pack from the winch itself.

[@rayregnogarage]

@@MrBigJonathanD I'm liking the Warn. That's what I'm gonna get

[@rayregnogarage]

@@MrBigJonathanD Also.. keep in mind that you'll need to update your spring rate on your coilover. That's one reason I've been waiting to get the winch. I want to do the Titan Swap first so I don't have to redo the front suspension twice.

[@joeperry9589]

I would have cut the plastic off at the bottom of the grill. It’s there to keep the airflow into the radiator. If it works it works.

[@giantinside]

Thanks for posting this video. Why did you choose the Hefty front bumper over the Shrockworks front bumper?

[@rayregnogarage]

One of the reasons I liked the Hefty bumper over the Shrockworks was the weight. The Hefty is made of aluminum and only weighs 55lbs. The Shrock weighs 130lbs

[@Agent.K.]

Same question came to my mind as soon as I clicked the video haha! But is this HFW bumper strong enough to protect cuz I don’t want to spend on a show off bumper? I saw a video of shrockworks and it looked very strong.

[@rayregnogarage]

@@Agent.K. I imagine it's not AS strong as a steel bumper since aluminum is softer. But not sure. It's still better than a factory bumper for protection and function

This is vandalism and nothing else. Would never let this guy close to my car. Never :-(

Dudas Kitti I’m confused why do you call modding his own truck vandalism?

[@rayregnogarage]

My truck doesn't have a transmission cooler. It's a manual. Clearly, you haven't been around many offroad vehicles. A lot of them don't even have bodies. They are simply tube chassis and the engine is completely exposed. The inner fenders keep heat IN.
