The Extensive Journey and Modifying Journey of My Nissan Navara STX Frontier

Living 17 hours away from my family, brothers, and oldest friends has always been a bit of a challenge, especially when it comes to sharing my new vehicle. Now 50, I've driven many a car in my time, but my newest ride, a 2018 Nissan Navara STX Frontier, is truly special.

This vehicle, available in the North American market, is positioned as the top of the line in the Navara range, equipped with a full leather interior, sunroof, and every optional extra one can imagine. The car has only been garaged and maintained with a complete service history, much to the tune of just 42,000 kilometers. Before this, I upgraded from a Patrol.

Modifications That Make It Stand Out

From the outside to the inside, this truck is a masterpiece in off-road modifications:

Aftermarket Suspension by Superior Engineering Front and Rear Diff Lockers Custom Steel Aftermarket Flat Bed with Tool Box and Water Tank TJM Snorkel TJM Fatz Fabrication Custom Air Box Intake Upgraded 3-inch Hot and Cold Side Dump Pipes Operational Three-inch Exhaust, Extending Directly to the Tailpipe DFP Delete Full Diff Gear Box Break and Transmission Breather Kit, Intaking Air from the Top of the Snorkel Jon Tigg Upgraded Aftermarket Intercooler Aftermarket Performance Tuning by Simply Tuning Piller Mount Booster and Pyro Gauges Five Fuel Vector Wheels, Including a Spare Five Mickey Thompson Baja 35-inch Tires Three-inch Suspension Lift by Superior Engineering Three-inch Body Lift, Altogether a Six-inch Raise Above Factory Standard Steadi-Type X 8.5-inch Pencil Spot Lights, Capable of Beaming Light Like the Sun Steadi Seven-inch Wide Beam Light GME UHF Two Way Radio, Bluetooth Type Aftermarket Alpine Head Unit, Touch Screen with Normal Generic and Hema Remote/4x4 Maps, Apple and Android Car Play Black Duck Seat Covers, Front and Rear Sand Trap Moulded Floor Mats, Front and Rear iDrive Throttle Controller Ironman Rear Steel Bar with Brush Guards Ironman Front Steel Bar with Rock Guards ARB Full Steel Underbody Protection Kit Aftermarket Dark Tinted Windows Ceramic Paint Protection Rotronics Duell Battery System IPad Seat Pillar Mount for iPad Pro/Pro, Supporting Movies, TV Series, Games, Bluetooth, Xbox, Hand Controller, and Full Internet Access Air Vent Mount, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 7-inch Cel-Fi GO Mobile Phone Signal Repeater Booster 1TB Hard Drive for Both Phone and iPad Movies, TV Series Weather Shields on All Windows Nissan Bonnet Protector Shield Waco Fridge, 2-Burner Stove, Microwave, Espresso Machine Pre Fuel Filter Kit Gaitor Full Time Rear View Mirror Style Camera 1750wx1550L Full Alloy Canopy

Currently, I am planning to add a long-range fuel tank and a winch, although the Jon Tigg aftermarket intercooler is quite large and does not leave enough room for the winch. I hope to overcome this issue with some brackets and by sliding the intercooler back an inch.

One unique story behind the sale is that I bought the vehicle from the father of a young man who got involved in a drug-dealing situation, and the vehicle was confiscated by the police. I managed to get it at a low price of 20,000 dollars because the young man needed funds for an appeal. The total modifications amount to around 30,000 to 40,000 dollars, all done by high-end workshops.

In Conclusion

This vehicle not only stands out from my other rides but is a testament to my passion for customization and off-road adventures. Whether it's the height of the vehicle, the advanced driving technology, or the myriad special features, this Nissan Navara STX Frontier is a true labor of love.
