You're going to need the shade tree mechanic. If it's
blowing fuses, it's blowing them for a reason. Mainly
it's because there's a short to the ground.
If you feel like checking it out yourself, start tracing
the cables off your battery and see if you have a loose
or disconnected wire.
I've seen the start side of a starter end up having a
cracked insulator and the post end up touching the
starter housing, shorting out and blowing the fuse. Not
on the frontier, but other vehicles.
If you're not mechanically inclined, I say take it to a
mechanic you know and trust.

Is it the 40 amp fuse at the battery that is blowing? Like
kcidmil mentioned, checked for wires that are chafed or
shorted to ground , look very closely near the lower
battery tray area.
