Search for some used hard folding tonneau cover or a Roll-N-Lock, so you can put stuff in the bed, and protect it from rain and thieves. Also there's some bed extenders, that are great to extend the bed size, to put the bikes on the bed, since the double cab models, you can't fit a bike with the tailgate closed.

2005+ Frontiers come with rear discs in the US. Both on the C200k and M226 axles. I don't know everything that is different, but I would think at least master cylinder, proportioning valve and obviously the rear brakes. ABS could also be different. Different calibration perhaps because of the different in the brake hardware.

Are the shocks worn or leaking? If not, why replace them? And with what make of shocks? If the Nissan ones are not leaking after 200,000 miles of hard use, they must be pretty good. And lots of crap shocks out there on the market, as well as the good ones. I would think the bushes may be shot, but cheap and fairly easy to replace. Dont change what still works fine and works safely just for the sake of it. Just check first, then decide if things need replacing, and with what.

Hey, sorry about this. Suggest you jack up the car, loosen the bolts and then lower the car onto the ground and then tighten and torque. Suspension bushings should only ever get torqued on level ground under load. You're risking squeaking noises and much faster than expected wear out of the bushes otherwise.
