That's right, I now own a Nissan. Not exaclty sporty, but I got a HELL of a deal. And winters with a truck will be nice. Hell, just owning a truck will be nice. Sorry the pics are so big. Maybe Ill resize em later.

So Far.....
I've already swapped an old Kenwood CD player I had into it.
I've also changed the shift knob to a Hurst T Handle. The stock one is painfully small.

Future Crap.
I've got a Tool box for the back Im picking up for 10 bucks.
I also need to tear out the plates the rear mud flaps are attached to as they are VERY rusted and replace em.
And I have 2 rust blisters no bigger then a quarter and may have the damn thing repainted to take care of it. Color ideas?
Seats are disgusting. Either covers, Sparcos, or junkyard shopping. Ill decide this week.


Maybes.....
May make it faster. A turbo or S/C setup would make it unique or the SR20DET engine swap is an option. Not really sure.
Or I may make it an offroad machine. Lift it. Lower the gearing. Beefier rubber. And work in that direction.
I just don't know.....

awesome, you already have a nice little rice eating car, so why not make this into an off-roader?

My buddy has the exact same truck, but blue.

Make sure you get a cover for the bed, otherwise you're killing your gas mileage.

In 2 days I've gotten 18mpg. Not too bad I guess. How's it look in blue. I really don't know what color I want to paint it. My last 2 cars have been red so thats out. I don't like the green. Maybe a dark green or blue. Orange is awfully tempting too.

metallic orange...  dont do it non metalic

burnt orange (dodge color) is cool if you are thinking of going that route.

i personally also think silver is wicked on just about any vehicle.

oh and i love the subject...

I've already had the IQ test to prove I'm a genius to get into MENSA. (Never went tho.   ) Don't need a truck to tell me the same. I just want something that looks cool.

A truck?  *Holds head down in shame*  As mentioned though, you do live in a cold climate with lots of snow so I can understand your logic.  Did you ditch your probe?

[nemt]

Now that you mention it, you know what truck rhymes with?

 NO, I did not. I can do almost anything I want as far as a summer car goes. It's not what most of my friends expected me to find either, but it was a steal at the pirce and I must say there's part of me that likes simply running over potholes.

Paint it chameleon purple/red. That would look so pimp

[fishlord]

i have decided that i think non metalic orange would also look good.
