Title: Got a new truck! Goodbye SHO!
Post by: P71 on February 07, 2006, 12:30:44 AM
I traded in that cursed SHO on this!:evilgrin:  It's a 1996 Nissan Hardbody pick-up truck. King cab, XE, 4X4, cap, PS, A/C, tilt, cruise, CD. Sky Blue Metallic with a Charcoal cloth interior, 128K miles, and I'm the 2nd owner. Paid $6500 out the door (got $1000 for the SHO, tax was $600, talked him down a little from $6999). Now I can tow home more TC's! What do you think?

TAKE THAT GAUDY CAP OFF MAN! 

I'm a fan of nissan pickups myself.  I too own a 96 XE. 

Oh and www.nissanminis.com (http://"www.nissanminis.com")  Great place been around for years.  I was the 11 member to register like 5 years ago.

No chit right? It's cool for now cause it doesn't leak, but I want to get a full-window model and paint it blue. Something 1-piece fiberglass.

I had a '90 King Cab that was nearly trouble free for 500,000 miles. The only problems it had were a tendency to chew up a bearing on the countershaft in the tranny and rust. Lots of rust. Get it undercoated ;)

I've had a few big trucks, but NONE were as reliable as my old one. A 1986.5 Nissan King Cab hardbody. It had the Z motor and was a 2WD/5Speed. I bought it with 187K when I was 15 and beat the ever-living  out of it till I was 20. Sold it with 302K on the clock. It was lucky to get new oil every 10K miles. It would sand-dune better than almost anything down in FL too. I'll get her muddy this week and take some real pics. Trucks are supposed to be dirty!

Nice truck, I've always liked Nissan.  I agree with Claude though, that cap is pretty nasty.
