       Been looking at some of the other 
 forums.  Some of the folks are ones I would prefer to 
 not deal with and some seem really nice. 
  Been reading through some of the builds they 
 have.  It is amazing.   Some 
 really good info and it gives me ideas.  Most of them, 
 I could care less about. Jim

 Jim,
 
 Yes I do the same;  about reading the different 
 Frontier Forum's.  Many time's I learn at least 
 something or have something that I think is important 
 Reinforced by somebody that I have learned a lot from.
 
 One of those person's is SMJ, and also FrontierGuy here 
 on this forum.
 
 Actually I have to say that I have learned a Lot more 
 than I admit and also thing's that I've learned that 
 I've forgotten from reading the Frontier Forum's.
 
 When I was much Younger I did a lot of Modding on my 
 1st Car and a little bit on the next few,, but as I got 
 older,, the modding gave forth to thing's that help 
 make the Vehicle last longer and more useful.
 
 Over the Year's I've come to realize that Cheap 
 Universal Neoprene Seat Cover's pay off big time in 
 keeping the 
 Seat's looking Nice;  Floor Matt's, Steering Wheel 
 Cover, Bug Shield, Bed Liner, Frame Mount Receiver, and 
 Last but not Least is a UWS Aluminum Locking Tool Box 
 for the Bed.  That's the way that i had the '93 set up 
 and I set the '13 up the same way, but also added SS 
 Step Rail's on the '13.  
 
 After putting it all down on Paper i guess I lie'd 
 about slowing down on the Mod's.     
 
 Anyway I haven't done any more modding to the '13 since 
 '13.     
 
 I didn't know anything about the '05-'10 V6 AT 
 Frontier's that had trouble with the Radiator Leaking 
 Coolant into the ATF, and also the Timeing Chain's 
 wearing out the Timeing Chain Guide's in those year's 
 as well.  So that's another Good reason to wait and see 
 about the bug's in the 3rd Gen Frontier.
 
 Here hopeing You and Your Family don't have big 
 problem's with Covid19.   I don't think that this Virus 
 was Dealt with in the USA very well.  
 
 Regards,

 Jim,
 
 One of the Thing's that I learned about on the '93 
 Hardbody that was my primary vehicle for 20 year's was 
 Seat Cover's.
 
 I put seat cover's on that Truck from the GETgo, and 
 wore out about 3 set's.  Just before I sold it,, I took 
 off the Last Set of Seat Cover's and I was Astonished 
 that the Seat's still looked just like BRAND NEW!  Not 
 even Faded!
 
 I like the Universal Fit Neoprene and the set I have on 
 my '13 cost about 20 $'s.  They are almost 7 year's old 
 now and still looking good, although I don't drive very 
 much now.
 
 I see a set of Universal Fit Neoprene on EBay that I 
 like for 29 $'s.  I may go ahead and get them now, and 
 just hold them back till the one's on now start to wear 
 out.
 
 A Cheap Set of Universal Fit Neoprene Seat Cover's are 
 worth WAY more to me than the Seat Cover's Cost.
 
 Regards,

I have thought about them for sure.  I haven't looked yet.  
  
 
 My son's 05 was totaled, he saved the floor mats.  I put them in mine, black rubber or fabric was my choice.  The 05 mats fit really well. 
 
 Seat covers, well.

 Jim,
 
 Yea, Floor mat's are worth the money IMO,, as long as I 
 don't pay too much.  Mine came with the Nissan Carpet 
 Mat's.  I may go back with the Nissan Carpet Mat's or 
 the Rubber Nissan Mat's, or I may go with an 
 aftermarket custom fit,, but I don't much like the 
 WeatherTech's.  I prefer Rubber over Plastic or 
 whatever the WeatherTech's are made of.
 
 ""I see a set of Universal Fit Neoprene on EBay that I

 just hold them back till the one's on now start to wear
 out.""
 
 My memory was wrong on that one;  I had saved them on 
 Amazon, same price though.  I went ahead and ordered 
 them, cause they had them in a Color that I liked.  If 
 I wait till I need them,, they might not be available 
 in the color that I like.
 
 I try to keep my Vehicle's as long as I can,, so it 
 make's sense to me protect the Wear Area's, as long as 
 I don't spend too much.   
 
 Regards,

 Hey Jim,
 
 You are Right, not much Traffic, but when somebody 
 needs help I try to help, If I think I know enough.
 
 Just got my Backup set of Seat Cover's from Amazon and 
 although It will be a While before I need to replace 
 the set that I have on the '13, these look good quality 
 and have some thickness to the Neoprene.  They also say 
 WaterProof on the Package and that's GOOD.  
 
 https://www.amazon.com/TLH-Neoprene-Covers-Compatible-
 Color-Universal/dp/B07YH2HLLG/ref=sr_1_1?
 dchild=1&keywords=B07YH2HLLG&qid=1585884853&sr=8-1
 
 I try to be ProActive when I think I need to, and I 
 liked the Color which is not alway's the case if I wait 
 until I need them, and The Price Was Right.
 
 I read your posting about Ham Radio, but that's 
 something that I never got into.  Airplane's that's 
 another Story.  
 
 Regards,

We all have or "expensive hobbies", as my wife says. 
 
 I have only looked at seatcovers once or twice. 
 
 Do you know anybody with a dashcover?  FL do get hot in summer. 
 
 Inside LED's were super.  I got cheap ones from eBay.  4 of them for $7.

 Jim,
 
 Yes it get's hot in Florida.
 
 I use a Windshield shade to protect top of dash.  It 
 also helps to keep inside cooler as well.
 
 Truck's and Car's are getting more expensive as the 
 year's roll by.  That Translate's into Everybody 
 keeping them longer and longer.  I kept my last '93 
 Truck 20 year's.  Lot's of thing's determine how long 
 we are able to keep our Truck's,  Collision's are at 
 the Top of The List.  That '93 was in 2 Collision's;  
 One in the Rear and One in the Right Front.  Rear was 
 about 700 $'s and Right Front was about 1800 $'s.  
 Fortunately I wasn't at Fault either time.  Both were 
 Low Speed Impact's, but both could have been High Speed 
 Impact's and Totaled that Truck.
 
 Buyer's like the Seat's to look good and don't like to 
 buy Thread bare with Hole's in the Seat.  It's one of 
 the First Thing's they look at before Sitting Down.   
   
 
 Regards,
