Being a new member to this forum I thought I would post a few words/pics about my new Frontera aquisition:

The old man has had a Frontera for over 10 years and I have always liked the look and power of the Frontera.  Only a few problems...1.  Clearance....and 2 Clearance..

So recently I purchased a 2001 MX LWB Frontera for $1400. Body is in mint condition and interior is good...Engine not so good 350 000kms so here is what I have done/doing to it:


1.  2 Inch Lift with upgraded torsion bars (Done) $1000 - Didnt realise what a pain in the @rse it is to wind up the torsions bars
2. Fitted BF Goodrich 30's with black sunnies (Done) $1400 - Being a 2001 I thought I would have issues with the 15 x 7 rims with the front brake calipers - however fitted them up and have no clearance issues.
3.  Rebuilt 3.2L 6VD1 (Booked for fitment early Jan 2013) - $4000
4.  LSD Diff installed in rear (Done) - $150
5.  Autolocker for front diff (Done) - $500
6.  Custome Extractors with 2 1/2" Exhaust - (Bought waiting for engine to be done) $1100
7.  Cold Air Intake (Bought not fitted) - $300
8.  Remove Fuel tank and replace with custom made 100L for under rear boot - (Currently being fabricated) $400

So I am thinking for around $9000 I will have a pretty decent/capable fourbie...

I will upload some pics shortly to show the progress

Any thoughts on any other mods you would suggest let me know....
