MIBPreacher Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 1989 Nissan Hardbody 2.4L 5spd 134 hp, most at its time in a factory 4banger. My Mom gave me this truck when I became a senior in Highschool back in 1991. I still remember the day I dropped it, my mom was behind me in her car and she was following me and she realized that my truck was bouncing a little bit and then she realized that I lowered it and after that it was on, WWF(e) style. She gave up afterwards, some of the mods I did... 4inch suspension drop w/ aftermarket bumpstops upfront 3inch block drop in back, Ginzu knife the factory bumpstops from 6" to 2". California whale tail from JCWhitney, 249.00 Custom made bed cover 50.00 in wood, 15.00 in vinyl. Foglights 39.99 Limo Tint 50.00 14" Enkei lookalike rims 69.99 a piece, from Truckin mag shop in SoCal. Stainless wheel trim (not pictured) 8 splitfire sparkplugs, I had 2 per cylinder. Flowmaster muffler, (worst decision made at 18, no HP after that. 2 cans of gloss black krylon, and painted the chrome bumper, and grille to go stealth. Finally back to my Nissan roots....

MIBPreacher Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Can anyone identify the model of my rims in this picture? If I remember correctly they were Enkei knockoffs by American Eagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Great little trucks! I used to own a white 1994 2.4L 4x4 (with 5 spd) and for the 9 years I owned and drove it (on and off road) the only problem I encountered was one of the air conditioning hard lines failed......and thats it! Sold it with 130K miles on it, to a chap in town, and he takes good care of it...still looks great. The only mods I did were a set of BFG all terrain tires (one size larger than the stock tires) and I fabricated a stout brush gaurd that I could also use to jack the truck up with a Hi-Lift jack. Now I own a white 2003 Toyota PreRunner.....reason for the brand change, the availablity of after market parts is endless. Comparing the two trucks, both are super reliable, I do miss the four wheel drive on occation, the Toyota has much better interior and a much nicer ride (longer wheel base and better damped and sprung suspension), and a larger bed area. Anyway, the Nissan truck was a good experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
