Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Due to be released in the next few months, the new Navaras are supposedly based on the USA's Frontiers http://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/Model ... 2|,00.html

Can anyone advise what lift and suspension limitations come with is suspension set up ie Front Independant double wishbone and rear overslung multileaf with solid axle? I'd like to get one but fear down the road (or more accurately off the road) I might be restricted with increasing the ground clearance.

Thanks.

looks to be identical to the USA spec to me. For comparison, they're much the same as the Toyota truck suspension of late in overall design.

Calmini already has a 5" suspension lift for them on the horizon:

And I just learned today that Spencer Low Racing (www.spencerlowracing.com) will be unveiling a 5" lift as well.

Advance Adapters has a transfer case for the US Titan truck that uses essentially the same transfer case and will likely fit the Frontier/Navara as well.

Overall an improvement over the previous model.

is this like our navara???


6speed manual or 5 speed auto, TWO speed transfer case.

whats the go there??

Oh, cripes, that original link WAS to the USA Frontier, no wonder it looked the same

Anyway, I would imagine the Navara will be nearly identical, and that products for the US Frontier will be readily adaptable.

By the way, here's the SLR lift:












"Here is some follow up to SLR's suspension lift for the 05 Xterra.

"Yes we will be offering a lift for the 05 Xterra. Work has recently been finished on the prototype lift for the 05 Frontier, and we will have the Xterra system completed by the end of the month. Pricing will be somewhere between $3,500 and $4,300 depending on shock selection and other small options. The system has a few exclusive SLR features, such as the ability to remove the differential without removing the entire subframe, and a front cross member that ties the entire subframe together. The system is designed to utilize a 2.5 coilover in the front, and shock options are the man determinant of price. It will also have replacement shocks in the rear, as well as a replacement Deaver spring pack. We are currently taking deposits for the first run of lifts which are expected to be finished by the end of the month. Thank you for your interest in SLR, and I look forward to hearing from you soon."

When I asked for a little more clarification on the cost of the lift kit I got:
"This system features a 1018 machined spindle (instead of cast), and also comes with heim jointed steering with a 17-4 machined steering clevis (essentially it�s own steering system). The system provides for 5� of lift, and clears a 35� tire. It will probably only clear a 34� on an Xterra due to the limitations of the rear fender. The reason the early model systems were so inexpensive is the quality of shocks used, and the fact that there was no subframe present. This system is extremely strong and is without a doubt the finest available on the market. The entire system has been designed using CAD drawings and we know that it works correctly. Again, thank you for your interest."

Save yourself the trouble and buy a Patrol.................

that driveshaft looks thin or is that normal?

Looks complicated.... but I spose that is the thing with IFS.

Driveshaft doesn't look that small vs. the others I've seen driving the R200A front diff. That's an all-new aluminum high-pinion unit they brought out with the 05. The SLR kit has a new cradle for it to lower it a bit.

But yeah, if I had the option, I'd be all over a Patrol before I'd give a thought to the Navara.
