What a piece of JUNK!

OMG, that steering does NOT look safe. Bumpsteer must be murderous on that thing (I've got experience doing solid axle swaps on these things). Plus, those bends in the draglink just don't even look safe.

Also note there's no front driveshaft, and probably no ability to install one due to the extreme angle (if the thing even HAS a transfer case).

Crush it. That's all it's good for.

Yikes! Just when you think you've seen it all, something like this shows up. It has some nice looks but Unless it was a 100% TRAIL USE ONLYi that truck would be completely illegal to have in Canada. And DR is right...it has no transfer case so it would be a permanenet 2WD or woud have to have a NP T-Case added to it. Or if you had some money you could put an Atlas T-case on it and clock the whole thing to reduce the front drive line angle.

IMHO - It would make a so-so trail beast.

Personnally it does nothing for me. If it had 35's and 4WD that would make it much more pragmatic.

Oh and for what it makes it illegal in Canada and several other places.

Headlights are way above maximum heights set by Transport Canada.Front Bumper is too high. and would be dangerous in the event of a collision.No mud flaps and no side skirts. ( Tires must be covered by a fender or fender flare to reduce slinging airborne debris and for the safety of other vehciles around you.)The massive lift blocks are not illegal but they are also not safe. The proper way to gain lift is with the correct leaf pack, proper length shackles, and taller leaf spring frame mounts that reduce the need for spacer blocks in between the axle and the leafs.

Tall spacer blocks just cause axle wrap and wheel hop which are dangerous by themselves.

Ummmm, it's obvious that it's a show truck, guys. I just had never seen a Nissan that extreme.

Personally, for off-roading (which I am VERY much the novice at), I prefer a small, light, low-geared vehicle with lots of wheel travel and smallish tires...

Last time I was in Yuma at the dunes, the Suzuki Samurai I was riding in was making mincemeat of the "lifted trucks"...

Fun to watch all the purpose-built trucks getting bogged down while this little 60-hp Samurai with the weird gear reduction box plugged right on up the dunes.

Spot on.

ROFL at that truck, but it is kind of neat to see someone take it so far. Definately not my thing but still neat to see once.

I'm with you on the smaller offroad vehicles. I use to go up to Sycamore Creek and Bucher Jones (NW of Mesa) a lot....We never once had a lifted truck and could get through anything. I would take my VW bug out there too and it made it through most things....

I havn't got a chance to go down to the dunes yet though. That would be fun

How have I never seen it?
