Had the Nissan sitting in my backyard for quite some time. Finally decided to do something about it. Mostly it will be used for fun/backup in case the Ranger ever dies. Maybe even used as a winter commuter. 4x4 = winter win.
Here's what I know about it. It has the 2.4 liter Nissan engine. 4x4, and a 5speed. It needs a battery and an alternator. Possibly brakes and definitely tires. It has alot of rust, the frame might need to be bolted or welded. I don't have a welder, so probably bolted. It also needs a new fender because it is smashed in and rubs on the tire, and also needs a pair of doors. The passenger side doesn't open, and the drivers side doesn't close. Go figure.
The doors will be dealt with last. First thing it needs is the alternator and battery of course. The bed is also a problem, because it is so rusted that it hangs down and rubs/smacks the cab. Not only is this a safety issue (could fall off) but it is also very, very, annoying.

Cap is no longer on the truck. It was from my Ranger, I put it on there when I was rocking the Nissan's cap. But then I sold that (never should have) and put the old cap back on the Ranger. I hate it, it's ugly. But damn is it roomy and accessible.
