Recent acquisition

'04 3.0 on a late '03 plate. Less than 40k on the clock & full service history!

It'd have been rude not to buy her

Thus far, I'm very impressed! This is my first Nissan (unless you count the A-plate Bluebird I owned for about 2 hours about 20 years ago!)

looks like it needs some mud

Well done.

And a new set of boots! Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent set of all terrains? It's a daily driver too, so I can't put anything too aggressive on it. I had Federal ATs on my Freelander & they never let me down, even ploughing through a foot or so of snow

Lazy-Ferret · 11-04-2013, 09:34

Now you have done it... the age old question...

In the past on my Suzuki's, I liked the Generals AT's and got good road going mileage out of them as well.

Currently I have Good Year Wranglers on both Terranos, The less aggressive road ones on the T2, Which had no problems on the Pay and Play day, but when they need changing, I will look at prices, and probably go for General AT's

I have Wrangler AT/R's on the T1, but not had a chance to try them off road yet, seem good on the road though.

Thanks for that! I'll need to have a look & see what I fancy. It's on road rubber at them moment, but I've not looked to see what they are. I have it in my mind it's Pirelli-shod though

needs new number plates! can't read those

Looks very clean. Good find.

If you're after new boots, try Falken A/T, they're superb for a mix of road and moderate off-road.

firebobby · 11-04-2013, 20:28

Very nice, what's it like underneath, it should be good at that year and mileage, If so, get plenty of under seal on her, you say it's a DVE, do you mean SVE

stinka · 11-04-2013, 20:29

Nice

I was a big fan of bridgestone duellers when I had my mistral

Yep! The 'S' & 'D' are far too close together on this stupid keyboard, and I'm far too stupid to notice the mistake without help

It doesn't look too bad underneath at all, to be honest. It's done virtually nothing, even to the extent that the door straps were dry through lack of use. The service book, however, has been faithfully stamped, with the last full service being only 4000 miles back. And the dealer I bought her from has given her an oil service, as well as replacing the centre exhaust section, a stabiliser bar thingummywotsitmebob at the front, and a couple of balljoints. Going to sortout having the underside waxed this weekend

Very nice looking truck, love the colour

Congratulations Mate. I hope you will be very happy together. Now go and get Dirty...

No worries there! We live on a farm, so even getting to & from the main road can be a mission sometimes. And any vehicle we ever own ALWAYS ends up blinkin' manky!
