If you got a buddy offroading in socks and slides smoking Marlboro w a truck bed full of junk you're in good hands...you can trust that man with your life 😂😂
They are soo cheap too. Probably one of the cheapest body on frames with real 4x4 you can buy. Everyone rushes to Toyota but they are so expensive used. And honda is being a bitch and not making a real truck.
Kevin has some KING KONG COJONES! Love both trucks, but you can't beat that PRO4X. I have a Lava Red PRO4X myself and will NEVER get rid of it! I've gone all Off Road Kevin on mine too and ALWAYS gets me out! Thank for the videos!
Great videos. Shows the true difference a locker makes. I have a 2023 Pro4x and so far it's been great. The only gripe is I wish the locker could be engaged in 2wd
@@andypacmanperez Most people that are experienced off-roaders prefer to use as little of the options as possible to make the obstacle with the least amount of help as possible to make it more fun/challenging. I always try everything in 2wd until I need additional help like locker or 4wd. So it would be nice to try in 2wd, then 2wd w/ locker, then 4wd no locker, then 4wd low, then 4wd low with rear locker, then 4wd low with both lockers. Hope this makes sense.
@@andypacmanperez Not everything requires low range. Some things require speed, some things require juuuuust a bit more traction... Snowy roads for example. Sometimes you've got 1 tire just spiiiining away and the ability to lock up for just a little bit helps enormously. Can be the difference between just a little throttle (locked) versus foot to the floor (which is how you break stuff)
That last shot was epic bro! Lol. Glad I can see how my S trim can do when pushed a little and it did pretty damn good. Kevin’s pro 4x did amazing! Can’t get much better than that. These are the videos that make me wish I had a locker lol

Nice to see some of the true capabilities of this truck... Even nicer to see someone with some skill behind the wheel. Off road Kevin might've taken a Maxima through half these obstacles..🤣
Nice video. Thanks. Glad to see people enjoying their frontiers. Lockers make all of the difference off-road. Can you do a video break down on your truck? Parts, etc...
Here's one I did a little while ago. 90% of it is still the same. Tha ks for watching buddy! ruclips.net/video/4Qo6KU0gcbU/видео.htmlsi=oqE-TyyfU9OsryJ-
that dude got nuts of steel.. lol 40 degree tippy, no ty haha. if he had more aggressive tires on the pro-4x, it would be way better than it already is.
Kevin (the black frontier) is now on 35’s. In fact both of our trucks are quite a bit differently than they were in this video. I want to do an updated video to this soon.
A great video! Frontiers are GREAT trucks! When people told me to get a higher lift and bigger tires on my jeep - I bought a locker which is stock on my PRO4X!
You guys have balls. I would never risk my Frontier, especially if I pay too much. Lol. But, it's good to know the limitations. Good presentation, gentlemen.
Well, that definitely would’ve made a difference and you probably would’ve made it through those harder lines. That Frontier is definitely more capable.
@@4wdAdventurz that’s awesome brother! You will definitely enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing you gain experience. Next time, drop to 18-20psi and notice the difference. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
What is the limit around for stock pro-4x? I know it different for different tires/lifts etc. I looked up so was that about the limit or it would start tip? "However, for most off-road vehicles like the Frontier Pro-4X, this angle is generally around 20-25 degrees"
When u start spinning on those flexy spots and start 2 wheelin. Don’t let out. Keep a constant rpm around 2k or maybe a tad bit more and Nissans ABLS system will kick in and mimick a locker. Works great!
@@4wdAdventurzfor sure man! The Nissan ABLS system works awesome. Sometimes takes a second to kick in. Definitely do some research on forums to understand it more. My T swapped X has a locker but if I’m lazy and don’t wanna turn it on the ABLS almost does just as good.
great video guys i have to say Kevin is a bad ass but at the end of the day its not the truck its the driver and you made some smart chooses about what to do and not to do again great videos guys
I have a 3rd gen i love it and im makeing sure she is getting mud on her. I also owned a 2nd gen. Though both are very reliable and capable something about the 2nd gen feels like it was just made to be a off road vehicle.
As someone who had an 87 YJ Jeep Wrangler with dual detroit lockers, I can say with certainty that the lockers and the short distance between rear wheels and the bumper make a big difference with Jeeps not getting hung up in those situations. Also, momentum is your friend a lot of times.
The lifted truck might actually hit more tilt... If the spring rate on the lifted truck is The same spring rate or more as the other truck... Then it is definitely going to tilt more.... That's the math of it all... And the reason for that is the jacking forces are greater if you have a lift on Independent suspension. You would have to widen the track or reduce the spring rate or both for that not to be the case.
Cool. Check out The Adventure Crusader channel. He's my buddy. We do a bunch of trails. We have Monteros. We have a few buddies with the Xterras as well.
Good wheeling. Just go to junk yard and drop in an M205 e locker for the rear and you’ll be spot on. I dropped mine in couple months ago and sold my old C200k axle with mechanical locker.
Sweet! I have this truck. I’d recommend Starting with a 2.5 inch leveling kit and 285/75/r16 or 285/70r17 depending on your wheel size. Both 33 inch tires. This is a low cost and highly effective place to start. It will allow you to do most trails.
I had a rear wheel drive 2018 v6 frontier and got it stuck in a ditch lol, it got right back out with no problem, I hit almost 120 in it too, it hit a limiter but 5th gear was extremely long it went down to 4k rpm
Of course the Pro 4 x would win. I have a 2022 SV and im amazed at this. I would never put my truck through this as I don't off road. Gives a lot confidence knowing if I go camping I will not have any problems.
Surprised your ABLS wasn't engaging at all. My 2014 Frontier ABLS is "almost" like having a locker. (ABLS is nissan speak for offroad traction control)
I think I might have been letting off the throttle too soon for it to kick in. I’m going back out tomorrow for another try. Illl be more mindful of it this time. We’ll see…

Last time i almost flipped was in a nissan navara climbing volcanoes…. Volcanic sand is very unpredictable and i was going fast to get up the volcano and the rear kicked out, ended up sideways thought i was gonna flip for sure but somehow the nissan held on
Awesome video to show some capability. It let me know I will only be lifting enough to get aggressive 33s without rub lol. Feel like the 35s and left made some stuff harder for you or atleast scarier 😅

Did the red frontier even air down? Doesn’t look like it at the 7:55 mark. Half the tire contact patch is in the air.

Way impressed with the black truck’s capabilities. I had no idea.
I was out in Citrus yesterday. Made it over to trail 19 for the first time. Was a bit uncomfortable LOL.
What vehicle do you have?
Great video
Man I took my pro 4x out today and got butthole pucker at 17 degrees can’t imagine it feels in the 20’s let alone 40 😂

I probably could’ve but, man! Looking at it on camera it doesn’t look that bad but I was not havin it 😂
What is the set up on the red Frontier?
When this video was shot I was on a Rough Country 6” lift in 35s

😂 thanks man.
Those frontier did really good out there !!! 💪💪💪
Citrus trails. Right?
Yes sir
Where's this forest? Reminds me citrus management at FL
That’s where it’s at
Your frontier should have locking rear differential. Check out Canadian cruisers vid from a year ago.
mine doesn’t. That feature is only available on the Pro4x
I like hearing that v-6 of Kevin’s roar! Old school power ! I’m glad they kept the v-6 in the new trucks! It will help them out sell Toyota!
I rented both and the Tacoma was nice, but went with pro-4x. I really like it so far.
So you consider a 2018 vehicle as old school? My have times changed.
The man has skills and a truck that can handle them. Damn good job
When it comes to leaning that's where all the height has you at a disadvantage.
And there isn’t much flex in the suspension so it’s all body roll lol
So lockers are a must need in any offroad situation?
I wouldn’t say it’s a must…but it makes something’s a lot easier
@@4wdAdventurz I see 🤙🏽
great video guys i have to say Kevin is a bad ass but at the end of the day its not the truck its the driver and you made some smart chooses about what to do and not to do again great videos guys
I like the looks of the new gen frontier but it looks like the raised hood limits the sightline alot compared to the old gen.
definitely. On these more technical trails I can’t see shit 90% of the time. Lol
I have a 3rd gen i love it and im makeing sure she is getting mud on her. I also owned a 2nd gen. Though both are very reliable and capable something about the 2nd gen feels like it was just made to be a off road vehicle.

🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks buddy
off-roading in slides and socks is wild 😂
😂😂 I agree.

Was there a reason you opted out for no locker on your new Frontier?
