In the scorching desert, Larry Chen delves into the world of off-road racing with the Nissan Frontier Nismo, a beast born from the collaboration between Forsberg Racing and Yokohama. This rugged machine, built in a mere two months, conquered the Nora 500, showcasing its prowess by clinching victory in its class. The Frontier Forsberg Racing Edition stands tall with battle-tested parts straight from the race truck, maintaining the factory drivetrain without any upgrades. However, plans are afoot to tweak its performance by adjusting spring rates to handle the added weight from essential accessories like the 32-gallon fuel cell.
The truck's rugged exterior boasts Nismo off-road shocks, custom beadlocks, and Yokohama Geolander MTS tires, ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrain. Safety takes center stage with features like a functional rock rail, limit straps, bump stops, and Nismo suspension, all geared towards enhancing the truck's off-road capabilities. Inside, a robust roll cage, a third seat for fun runs, and ample storage for tools and gear underscore the truck's practicality and readiness for any adventure that comes its way.
Larry Chen sheds light on the meticulous installation of the roll cage, a crucial safety element that not only meets current standards but also sets the stage for potential upgrades to higher racing classes. The truck's interior is equipped with iPads for navigation, sun visors, and an array of fire extinguishers for added safety during intense races. With stock brakes, hubs, and minimal modifications beyond safety enhancements, the Nissan Frontier Nismo emerges as a formidable contender in the world of off-road racing, ready to tackle any challenge that lies ahead with grit and determination.
