THE FINAL FRONTIER

A Nissan Prerunner (10+ Years in the Making)

What you are looking at is quite possibly one of the wildest Nissan Frontier pickups on the planet. This truck is composed of equal parts passion, dedication, and patience. While there's just something about the Frontier's aggressive design, the most impressive feature about this truck is what you don’t see at first glance.

James Holguin has owned this truck since his senior year of high school, and there is video proof of that (go ahead and check Terra Crew's YouTube page for the receipts). James is seen sitting in front of his already heavily modified Frontier back in 2006, and it's apparent from the words coming out of his mouth that he was having an absolute blast with his truck back then. Even after a quick watch, it's evident that James was never going to give up the keys to his ride. In fact, James was already four years into his off-roading journey with his Nissan in 2006, and as it turns out, he was only getting started.

During the Frontier's early days, James relied on a local SoCal shop to help make his truck look the part of a desert-shredding prerunner. All it took was a basic suspension lift and replacement fenders to make him happy. It was after a trip to Glamis when James saw other trucks effortlessly gliding through the sand that piqued his interest in perhaps someday doing the same in his Frontier.
