What did you do to your rig today?

[Adam]

You mean fixed or broken?
 


 

Ya she be broken.Probably good for parts but most likely going to the scrap yard unless some one wants it?
 

 

Maybe you could pick up a good used transmission at the wreckers?

Doing a tranny swap for me is too much work and beyond my skill set,I think it's time to upgrade and get something new? anyone need an 06? It's driveable but not reliable as is.

Yeah that's fair. What do you think you would replace it with? Those new frontiers look nice but too much $$$ for me haha.

[Bow_Tied]

Fake news if anything. We'll see the day it gets officially announced, but Nissan definitely dropped the ball on not getting on that while the market got hot. They're focused on EVs, which is a market with much competition and poor sales that currently doesn't have he greatest long term outlook at the moment.

Rumours are all I ever heard. Nissan really missed the boat on that IMO. They could easily build one on the new Frontier platform and I'm sure it would sell well. But there's probably a lot of compliance crap they have to meet that would make it hard.
 
When I had to dump a ton of money into my car last year I was looking for newer ones and at the price point, I'll drive my 20 year old Golf for a few more years.

We are going but the X probably won't make it i haven't had the time to deal with it or deal with the logistics of getting it there.

I'm pretty upset about not going this year but I'll have get the shirts out some how

I'd love to go this year but the truck just isn't ready. Too many close calls without sliders and skid plates.

Ya I get it. Never ended up putting the skids on my wd21 but was just lucky I suppose!

The Xterra I had sliders ordered after I did the body lift but didn`t arrive in time for my first AW, but I was still inexperienced as well but they have served well over the years. I have since dented the factory steps on the R51 already a few times this year. Nothing bad and jumping on them put them back in their place, but it`s a reminder serious off-roading is a no-no for me just yet, lol.

The Xterra I didn`t do slid plates until AFTER I dented the oil pan. Althought I`m damn sure I didn`t hit it, the driveshaft situation makes me think twice about doing that again.
