5th 4x4, and I don't even like Nissans

Postby ClanFever » Fri Apr 15, 2016 11:39 pm

Rust killed my first Jero, sold my 2nd one even though it was good and my 3rd was a piece of shit. My super custom was good but the bottom end went. So I've gone down the road of Nissan. Only the 2nd one I've ever owned, and it's basically the same as the first one I owned anyway (D21 Navara)

Let's see how long this one lasts me. 2.7 TD - going to slowly bring it up to heavy off road spec. Gearbox is already causing me trouble, sticking in 4th and popping out of 5th. Going to see if it holds up, get me an lsd, snorkel and some proper muddies. Light bar too. Go from there.

Haha yeah good old Russ, what kind of other damage could I do if I just carried on and waited for it to actually go? Aside from obviously having to completely replace the gearbox (better to do this or rebuild the one I have?)

Chucked on a lightbar and it went. 2nd time I turned the truck back on it no went. No idea what problem is... voltameters broken can't even test anything D: - time to front up some $$ for some better tools

If I was still 12 like I was 5 years ago (I'm currently 22 for some reason) I'd be updating this topic weekly if not daily. Now that I'm 32 I seem to be too busy.

Anyway, snapped both the front door handles off. Passenger door is having central locking issues, half the time won't unlock, who cares. Drunk mate went crazy trying to get and ####### broke it. I was a bit mad then got over it after 3 seconds. As the drivers door lock is stiff to lock I usually simply put down the lock (which locks all locks) then close the door while holding the door handle up - doing this then broke my drivers side one about 2 weeks after the passenger one went.

My guess is these door handles are brittle as ####. So should I risk it with 2nd hand or is there a way to either buy new or do something else?
