With the car gone, I pretty much knew what was next; After researching models, options, dealer stock in my area, and thoroughly debating between the SV and Pro-4X, I decided on the <strong>Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4&#215;4 SV<\/strong> with the <strong>Value Truck Package<\/strong>, which had a lot of stuff that was not standard on the Pro-4X (unlike the later model years) \u2013 plus the Pro-4X had a lot of stuff that I\u2019d probably swap out someday (OEM Bilsteins, wheels, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>Since it was year-end clearance time, the challenge was to find a truck on a dealer lot in <strong>Night Armor<\/strong> with a short bed and VTP. That\u2019s exactly what I wanted, nothing more and nothing less. Lucky for me I found one in the exact spec I wanted about 30 minutes away at <strong>Metro Nissan in Montclair, CA<\/strong>. It took 3 visits all week and a lot of hard-nose negotiating to get the type of deal and payments I wanted, and they finally gave in after the third night of seeing me there.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10\" src=\"https:\/\/projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/raine_ft_home.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/raine_ft_home.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/raine_ft_home-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/raine_ft_home-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Super factory stock mode, with no plans on modding anything at this moment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took about 6 months after making the decision to change vehicles before I sold&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[473,181,471,182,149,179,474,472,183,55,15,16,180,469,470],"class_list":["post-9","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trips-and-adventures","tag-473","tag-4x4","tag-brand-new","tag-crew-cab","tag-frontier","tag-metro-nissan","tag-montclair-ca","tag-new-truck","tag-night-armor","tag-nissan","tag-oem","tag-stock","tag-sv","tag-sv-4x4","tag-vtp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1412,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions\/1412"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
