Stuck in [California freeway](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/10/truck-crash-dangers-on-california-freeways/>) traffic and looking for a little entertainment or a 4×4 only shortcut? The Nissan Frontier Project Tailgater combines the popular activity of tailgating with going outdoors in a one-off concept for the 2024 SEMA show in Las Vegas, November 5-8th.

 

This concept truck was built in collaboration with PowerNation TV’s [“Music City Trucks.”](<https://www.powernationtv.com/shows/music-city-trucks>) The build process will be documented in three episodes of the show, releasing in sequence Oct. 14, 21 and 28.

 

“Tailgating has been a staple in the sports community for generations,” said Eric Smart, builder and co-host, Music City Trucks. “Combining that with people’s love for the outdoors and Nissan’s decades-long legacy with the off-roading scene makes this a truly one-of-a-kind concept that magnifies the Frontier’s versatility and capabilities.”

 

## Nissan Frontier Project Tailgater

 

The Project Trailgater concept combines the [refreshed 2025 Frontier](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/08/2025-nissan-frontier-refresh-more-capability-tech/>) with twin 43-inch TVs and a soundbar mounted to a NISMO Off Road overlanding rack in the bed.

 

Accompanied by a folding solar panel, a custom lithium battery pack and associated electronics, plus a Starlink connection, the setup is designed to stream games almost anywhere a satellite or mobile hotspot signal is available.

 

What’s a tailgate without snacks? Project Trailgater has an integrated Dometic cooler and refrigerator, a fold-out kitchen station and sink, plus a built-in propane grill that folds out from one of the CargoGlide slide-outs on a custom-fabricated hinged mount and fire pit.

 

Project Trailgater also adds several NISMO Off Road accessory parts, including a suspension lift kit, forged upper control arms, high-performance rear shocks and front coilovers. The NISMO Off Road accessories catalog also provides 17-inch Axis beadlock capable wheels with Yokohama GEOLANDAR M/T tires, a performance cat-back exhaust, a roof rack and numerous additional lights.

 

## The bottom line

 

[Overloaded trucks](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/10/the-dangers-of-overloaded-trucks/>) might be a dime a dozen nowadays, but these builds are still fun to see. Especially when you are curious about what’s possible and the creativity people come up with when modifying trucks.
