Only a CD player?

So uncivilized...

Just from photos, it has the wrong interior in it, so I'll have to find a center console and seats.

Same with front and rear diff - will need swapped to 4.10s, etc.

I'm beyond f***ing frustrated. Talked to Nissan today about factory ordering an x cab Frontier with a stick. Seems doable, so that's the alternative I guess.

This is way harder than it has to be.

In all seriousness I think clean FX4's must be in fairly high demand. I was looking awhile ago and I found NOTHING which made me wonder if they are snatched up about as soon as they hit the market.

And they were pretty limited production, especially with a manual.

Where the heck is Rusty anyway? Did his trusty rusty truck fall apart on him or something? Seems like he just up and left without saying bye or anything unless I missed something??

I do love my Fords, but Nissan is a very close second, for me.

Hmm, that should be very unbiased...

EDIT: it just goes to a Nissan dealer. Hopefully my computer didn't catch any rust from going there...

I do love my fords, but Nissan is a close second in my book, but a lot of ppl like Toyotas, which are overpriced as far as I'm concerned.

I corrected the link.

Rust is from where you live, not what you drive. My 88 Nissan is Rust Free, & it lived most of it's life in Arkansas.

FWIW computers don’t really catch rust from the internet either...

For the right price, you can buy my 2001.

Brand new:
4.0 SOHC (only thing not "new" is the crankshaft, jackshaft and rods)
5R55E (I'm guessing the deal killer)
radiator
cooling fan
A/C compressor and dryer
alternator
front shocks
front axles
oil & oil filter, just changed it last weekend, LOL

Other items of note:
4x4 SOTF (brand new shift motor)
4.10 gears (rear LS actually works)
Power windows and locks, remote entry
Pioneer head unit with backup camera
90% life left in the tires

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sell it, but you seem to be having so much difficulty finding the one you want I figured I'd offer. I doubt you'd want to spend what I'd have to have for it or that you'd want to come to Florida to get it.

Oh, I should probably mention, while the engine and trans are new, the truck has 266k miles on it, though you'd never know it by driving it.

I would have never guessed that, (sarcasm)
