I could probably give you a hand with the leaf springs

 

Someone imported a left hand drive one like that here recently. Dude put those 20" Limited 4Runner wheels on it. Almost stopped to ask if he had the stock wheel from it still.

 

That's what you need CAD for



Which in my redneck ingineering stands for Cardboard Aided Design

 

Oh yea, I can dig the shit outta that one! Probably cause it reminds me so much of the Bronco II fleet I had lol

 

Yeeee haw, brother

I can't believe it took me this long to slap this thing together. A couple months of getting groceries should pay for itself over driving the Ford

 

Where’s the tons and 40s?

 

giving up on that for now, got too much going on to commit to that kind of project

 

I learned to drive stick in my buddy's Bronco II. It was gray, had CB whips off the mirrors, and had one of those cool '80s-vibe visors over the windshield. It also had the carburated v6 and like to stall at red lights. Looked great though, and I've had a soft spot for them ever since.


Like this...

 

Are you going to try to fix the body? I see some black sixth-gen Sentras in the Aurora u-pull yard: https://upullandpay.com/aurora/search-inventory/?Make=Nissan&Model=Sentra

They've both been there going on a month, so better check them out ASAP if you want anything. No idea how much Sentras get picked over but I think the u-pull yards crush after a month.

 

Perhaps someday, I'm not feeling up to the work required right now haha. the core support is pushed in and needs to be pulled before I could replace it and get fenders/hood to line up well again.

Thanks for the lead on parts, eventually I'd be looking at factory color matched stuff like that. I found one up here but they never called me back

 

Everyone is wrong except me! Tell me how great I am!!!

 

Sentras seem to be the punching bag of the car world

Seems like every one I see still on the road has some kind of hastily repaired damage

 

literally muffin time

 

Cheap, sips gas, hard to kill? Seems like a winning combo.

I've never paid much attention to Nissans but the Altima I got as a rental car last year was great. 40+mpg doing 80mph at like 2000 rpm on the interstate. I drove straight through from Colorado to Wisconsin and only had to stop once--I was on track to get 600 miles on a tank.

 

I try to feed the troll but he won't play

Prob because

 

I’ve rented a couple of Rogues now, one of them was awd. They’ve got plenty of guts and are pretty fun really. Half tempted to get one for grocery duty but the CR reliability ratings are pretty dismal. Shame, my frontier has been great.

 

Perhaps I should buy this not-at-all-suspiciously-priced Frontier that definitely isn't a scam?

 

Man, they must be catching some desperate folks if that is working.

 

No Issues!
