Hey guys... well after a whole lot of searching I haven't seen but one bodydropped frontier, and only another crew cab on bags. But i have an 2002 , with 27k miles on it. I have a nissan hardbody front frame clip and Cando upper and lower contronl arms riding on Contitech 2600 bags all the way around, i have a 4 link rear suspension, which is about to get the bags on the bars to get more lift, rear fuel cell and a Toyota rear end, the front end is also converter to toyota 5 lug. In the process of Stock floor body dropping it, im going to retain Ac and all the nice extras. But heres some pics and the first day of the build. It took only about an hour to separate the cab from the frame. i already have half have the frame built for the Sfbd. But heres sum pics and i'll keep it updated.
How she laid before the tear down....

By the way I own a paint / body shop and custom shop in the Birmingham, Alabama area... but heres a few pics of the smoothed and painted dash also. but having a frame machine gives me the advantage of having a perfectly level surface to work on and trim gauges to make sure everything is in align.

after i put in the 2x3 tubing and welded it all up... notice, i did not cut the frame in half...i only opened up the inside part of the frame rail slid the new piece of 2x3 inside and tacked it into place... I put some pretty good stich welds along the bottom and i removed 12" sections from the top and proceed to weld it up as a i went...
