hello frontier guys/

i have been looking on your forum for some time now, great stuff!!

well i am going out of state to look at 2001 frontier desert runner with 109K. this guy has had it for two years and the last guy did a lift, cat-back dual exhuast, roll bar with lighta, brush guard, baja spare tire in bed. she has 109K miles and the timing belt dosen't look like shes been chnaged yet!! did a carfax on her and all is well there. but is there any thing i should look closer at not being a owner all ready i would miss? i have owned alot of cars and trucks and i will check all the fuilds, smoke from the tail pipe and how she drives over all, but just wondering what else.

THANKS!!

look around edge and  underneath to see about body/frame damage, tho if the guy has been abusing it, you never know.....also carfax are only as good as the information that gets put in there..obviously....if something wasn't filed as a claim or what not..and done off the books, not recorded, then it won't be in there. obviously..test brakes, steering to see if it doesn't feel normal, hell...even call to see if there is a local nissan dealership that will look it over for you, or just call them and ask what to look for. i'm sure some of the other people here will have some ideas as well...just some quickies from me...hope it helps

Does it have a timing belt or chain?  I think my '87 had a timeing chain.  Whichever, I drove it for 250K miles and never changed it.
