IT FINALLY HAPPENED. My 2022 Nissan frontier finally breaks. | Save EXPO 2024

Im a toyota fan girl. I had 2 3rd gen tacos. I just bought a 24 frontier pro4x. It is way better than the 3rd gen taco in many ways. Shifts better. Rides smoother. It also rides smoother than the 4th gen taco. Costs less. Biggest flaws are the diff cover leaks and needing a longer breather tube. Much better to deal with than the 3rd gen issues or whatever the 4th gen will bring

[@camerons6028]

I've been 4x4ing for more than 20 years, and I can confirm that the best stories involve braking something or getting so stuck that you need 2 trucks to pull you out. Finding out that the CVs are weak in that particular scenario just means new better parts to strengthen your rig. Older stock soild axles on jeeps likely would have broken also, especially running larger tires. A worren out dana 30 might have even snaped on a jk/jl. The TFL guys blew a diff on a 4in rock hop last week in a 2024 TRD. Stuff brakes, that's why we have the aftermarket and jobs to pay for it. New sub from Alberta Canada.

[@4wdAdventurz]

thanks for the comment buddy I appreciate you watching. Thanks for the subscription! i’m fairly new at offroDing. About two years of experience. but definitely learning with every trip. Next Sunday, you will see the video of replacing the CV and what exact damage was done. 👀

[@camerons6028]

@4wdAdventurz can't wait. My wife and I are looking at a 2024 frontier, and I am soaking up all I can o KZbin right now. Did you by chance, get the aluminum upper a arms from Nismo? I'm interested in how they affect the truck on/off road.

Your correct lager tires puts stress on the cvs 🤙🏾

[@Holden-McGroin]

It’s funny watching some of these videos. When we started wheeling we had open diffs, carburetors, and three pedals to deal with.

[@4wdAdventurz]

Haha. very true! But you probably had straight axles as well. They can take a lot more abuse in our a lot more forgiving. it’s always funny to see how things progress. Everyone started out with open diffs, solid axles, and a manual transmission in thier off-road truck . Now if you don’t have a locker people won’t even take it off road. 🙄🙄

[@JohnnyRebLa]

​@@4wdAdventurzyou know what's strange to me with trucks and four wheelers. Whatever you have or is most common it's always the other is better. If someone has a solid axle it's " independent suspension is way better" if someone has independent in the front they want to jam a solid axle under there. Now that you can't hardly find a manual clutch that's all most people are wanting. I don't know how many comments I've seen on frontiers and others trucks " I'm not getting one of these because they don't have a manual clutch as an option anymore ".

[@JohnnyRebLa]

What are you talking about I had a 92 2wd hardbody with mud tires on the back and a whole lot of dumbass and gas pedal.

Definitely! I had a great time. This is actually the first thing to break on this truck. So, all in all, pretty good.. thanks for watching buddy!

[@JustinCaseWages]

That’s IFS life. Replace with an OEM shaft and pick up a cheaper HD shaft like Cardone as a spare for trail runs. They are not hard to change out so learn how to do it yourself. Saves a ton of time and money. :)

[@johnsilver7150]

Get in line. Lots of 2024 Tacos and Colorado are breaking down.

Hesitation can be your weak link off road. Things will get scratched...things will break. Nature of the game we love. The phrase, GIV'ER is beneficial when torque and momentum are your friend. Nissan motors love to rev out. Commit and use what you are sitting in. 1987 King Cab Hardbody, 1993 King Cab S, lifted on 35's still digging...Have fun and... Love your truck.Waiting for 2025 Pro 4X King Cab LB. Going to be fun. Peace

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

*keep the axles stock... they're designed to be the 'weak' point... what happened here is 100% normal... better than destroying the front differential*

[@4wdAdventurz]

That's what I figured. Repaired with an OEM Nissan part yesterday. Wait till I show the damage it did to the CV. 👀 That video will be out next Sunday. Thanks for watching buddy!

[@beneque79]

This!

[@HotSneks]

Well it was definitely a lot less worse than I thought, CV joints break all the time especially when you're trying to crawl out of a muddy rut like that. It's usually the most common thing that breaks in Independent suspension trucks or SUVs.

[@4wdAdventurz]

Yeah it definitely could've been worse, that's for sure!

[@morningdrums]

I'm starting to think the Frontier Pro 4X might be a better option than the new Tacoma. I hear 2025 Frontier will bring a facelift and updates so I think I'm going to check that out. Sorry your truck broke.

[@4wdAdventurz]

no worries. It’s already fixed! 😂 I haven’t heard that about the '25 Frontier. I doubt that’s the case. Nissan hardly changes body sales less than 10yrs..

[@BruceHendrickson]

I didn't see it mentioned but a differential drop might help in the future reduce the angle on the CV.

I’d rather break a cv than something worse down the drive line. I wouldn’t get a stronger aftermarket cv.

[@4wdAdventurz]

From what I can find, they dont make a stronger CV then OEM.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@JustinCaseWages]

Agreed. Same reason to not run beefed up tie rod ends. Make the weak point the cheapest and easiest to repair.

[@hakunamatata6464]

Hey dude, enjoying the videos... Quick question, the spotter said your front driver tire was bottoming out... What size tires and rims are you using? And how much lift do you have again?

[@4wdAdventurz]

6" lift . 18" wheel on 35" tire

[@djjd3027]

It's pretty funny all the "air time" the Chevy's have gotten towing foreign trucks lately. As I own a Tacoma.

[@jessiesineath7702]

i mean its kinda expected when you are doing the type of off roading you are, but how are these 22-24 frontiers comparing in quality to the newer tacomas? I havent test driven one of the new model frontiers but a guy at work has one and he loves it. They look a lot like the tacomas as well.

[@4wdAdventurz]

Yeah it was bound to happen. If you look at all the videos in my channel you'll see Ives used this truck hard every weekend. This is video is the first thing that ever broke. These 3rd gen frontiers are as solid as they come. Thanks for watching buddy!

[@rickmontelongo4230]

There still good trucks don’t stress out you cv axles they will break its not a jeep with solid axles or just get a front locker nice video though 🤙🏾

[@mandytuning]

Jeeps also break their axles,spider gears and driveshaft.

[@LikeMike337]

Did it just stress out the joint because you were off camber so much in thick mud only on one side? Just curious how that happened.

[@4wdAdventurz]

it was a combination of a lot of things. The driver side tire was at full drop, because the passenger side was tucked up into the fender. The wheels were turned, outward too much, and the RPMs were too high, putting a lot of stress on the CV. I should’ve done was either kept the wheel straight and tried to drive straight out, instead of trying to turn out of that ditch or backed up and avoided it completely.

[@monocogenit1]

Was it the wheel in the air, that broke? Cool video man. not much Nissan truck love out there. I have a 23' Pro4x, so thanks for posting. Might I suggest switching to some smaller tires?? Would free up some ponies and reduce likely hood of breaking drivetrain components. These trucks are not exactly heavy duty and do not have lots of extra power on tap. I'm current running some wildpeak AT3s in a 255/80R17(yeah, kinda pizza cutters, but they are fairly light and still give a 33" diameter tire) on stock wheels. kinda wish I had done the 16" wheel swap and then run 285/75R16. and maybe go with a shorter lift...2.5" is good for daily/mostly stock truck.

[@Grnshdwfox]

Awesome video, what kind of bed rack does the Grey frontier have.

[@artieartya]

What was up with the gray one with the squeaky mattress spring sound the entire time kind of concerning

[@4wdAdventurz]

It's the bushings. Mine use to sound the same. Then one day they just stopped. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@monocogenit1]

spray white lithium grease works for me. I have the all dogs para leaf pack. they started squeaking 4 months after instal, now just spray little grease between two springs, its then good for about a month or 2. then repeat. on mine its just the two leafs rubbing together. @@4wdAdventurz

I'd say run stock CV's and keep spares. You get a more robust cv and now the next part to break will be something in the diff, transfer case, driveshaft ect. Whatever the next weak link is.

[@richardrussell-zi6zz]

Nice course. Are there any upgrades for the CV joints?

[@4wdAdventurz]

Not that I was able to find. OEM was about the only thing out.

[@nvpoolshooter]

Seems to me that with the money you spent modifying your SV, you could have just bought the Pro-4X. I miss something. Frontier fanboy here. :)

[@4wdAdventurz]

I could’ve, but it would’ve been a stock height pro 4X. I would still had to spend the same money on a lift and tires and honestly other than the locker I would’ve used none of the features that come with a pro4x.

[@nvpoolshooter]

@4wdAdventurz Makes sense, which is exactly why I'm driving a 2024 SV 4x4 Crew Cab long bed. I'm not Off Road Guy, but I do need a 4x4 where I live because of the snow. I don’t need the off-road suspension, the cameras, lockers etc the Pro 4X comes with. That and the Pro 4X only comes with the short bed. That alone is a show stopper for me. My previous Frontier was a 2012 that gave me 11 years and a 160K bullet-proof miles. Great trucks. I do have a bit of fun trolling the Tacoma fanboys with the 4-banger in the 2024 Tacoma. 😄

​@@4wdAdventurzI know it's late and not sure if you are still wanting to do it but would have been a good time to do your swap. I guess this is one thing the swap helps eliminate by giving more flexibility and movement.

[@4wdAdventurz]

@@JohnnyRebLa I briefly thought about it when I was ordering a new CV but I need a but more of the KZbin money to build up before I can do the nxt major mod. But I honestly will probably make a locker the next big mod. I just think it will take so much stress and wear off the drivetrain when im wheelin. If I had a locker I probably wouldnt of had to be gunnin so hard to get out of this whole that snapped the CV... Atleast thats my thought process...

I’d get an American truck … either the Chevy Colorado or wait for the Ranger Raptor. I’m biased as an American; not sure where you’re from. I don’t buy Japanese or Chinese, although it is tough to avoid some of their products.

[@4wdAdventurz]

i’ve owned Chevys and Fords my whole life. and they all have their issues. I had to put a new transmission into a 2016 Silverado at 80,000 miles. I’ve had motors loose compression at 150,000 miles. These Nissan trucks have been made in America since the 80s.

[@monocogenit1]

My 23' frontier made in Canton Mississippi. and have you seen the new Colorado??? looks cool, yes, but that engine is most likely going to be maintenance nightmare after 5 or so years of ownership.

[@jeanclaude7018]

The Frontier is made in Mississippi, and probably has more American content than Ford or Chev. Nissan engine plant is here too. Buying "American" is now in name only. Many "American" trucks are built outside the borders with foreign labor and parts. If you buy a Frontier it's guaranteed to be built with US labor. Plus, Japanese quality has been legendary since the 1960s Datsuns and Toyotas brought great shame to the Pinto and Vega, etc. Chinese simply cannot be placed in the same category as Japanese. American companies have sold out to foreign interests, so "buying American" is now simply a feel-good mantra and a label.
