  • @davidbrennan5
    @davidbrennan5 Před rokem

    I had a 94 kingcab like this with the 4 banger and a 8 foot box. It was one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. I only did wear and tear stuff on it, nothing ever really broke on it. I thought about getting another one but the back jump seats were dangerous for kids and I have a family now. I was a teenager when I had that truck and I can tell you that with good shocks and the sway bars cranked down on the front it handled very well, I could take an off ramp at high speed no problem. It also did awesome burnouts. I drove the piss out of that thing for years.

    • @GrinderTV
      @GrinderTV  Před rokem

      So cool man. Ya I would def think twice about putting anyone in the extra cab jump seats of these hahaha.

    I've had a '00 Isuzu Hombre for about 15 years now. It's got a 3/4 drop on 18" Boss 304's. I've always wanted to bag it, but never did. These PNW winters haven't been kind to the paint, so my 16 year old son and I have fun restoration project coming in the spring.

    • @GrinderTV
      @GrinderTV  Před rokem +1

    • @GrinderTV
      @GrinderTV  Před rokem

      Next episode will have some updates to the seat situation. I think it would be cool to add the cruise control. They also make after market ones. But not sure if I want to spend the money as this will be sold and not sure it would add value. Either way...all fun stuff to do.

    Such a cool little project truck and a great way to check a new format. I have the same truck in front of my shop (except the AC - we don't need it in Germany ☝️🥶).
    It was really interesting to follow all the steps to get the car fixed and registered. (nice b-roll, btw!) 👍 It would be cool to see more D21 stuff. 👋😉

    Timing chain start up rattle..
    But parts from Japan or thialand. Avoid china.
    I only use oil filters from Nissan. They prevent timing chain start up rattle. Frame wixs are the worst for this issues.
    I have a 95&97

    • @GrinderTV
      @GrinderTV  Před rokem

  • @jaymiddlebrook5049
    @jaymiddlebrook5049 Před rokem

    Ok the interior tells me it's a base model
    Dash says it's a 95-97.
    Can't be a 94. Dash would be different.
    Timing chain guides are only real issues if it's a 4cyl. Hopefully it is. They last longer then v6
    The door handle-arm rest. Beware of eBay ones from China. There hard as rocks. Thialand ones are soft.
    Parts 95-96-97 are the same.
    87-94 some won't work.

    • @GrinderTV
      @GrinderTV  Před rokem

      its 100% a 94. Its a weird year where they used parts from older and newer. It is a 4cyl and I am gonna do the timing chain.
