  1. Being a gen X Y cusp apparently, I've got a question. Isn't this how every previous generation has viewed its successor? With as much change as the last 100 years have brought, there's bound to be a disparity in expectation. I grew up with a rotary telephone and a typewriter. Now I'm frustrated when Netflix has a different menu on my tablet than the Wii.

  2. 9, surface rust from rear tires flexing. You should add vehicle location/history to your poll. Bet most of your <6 are concentrated in the salt lick states. Mines been a NW/Hawaii truck, just well maintained.

  4. They do a fine job behind small blocks. I would imagine, with judicious use of the throttle, it would hold up to a 4bt no problem. Also depends on tire size of course. An unmodified D60 will cost you quite a bit of clearance also.

    Build it, wheel it, if it breaks, fix or replace it as necessary!

  5. In the long run, what's 3k going to do for you? I sold my very well loved 1972 Bronco under similar circumstances. Regretted it ever since, buy a commuter, keep your truck, you deserve it. I don't know you from Adam, but if you let your wife make these decisions, you may resent her down the road.

    Otherwise, GLWS if its what you really want to do.

  6. The truck is lifted and the manual warn hub is already installed. I decided not to go with nissan's OEM parts because I think their parts are not strong enough for off roading.

     

    I want to get stronger metal CV where it will not break on me. I only had this car since this Feb, 2013 and the CV shafts break on me kinda tells me that the nissan is not using the right strength metal.

     

    A mean, the trail I went today was just super easy up and down and some bumps.

    They are expensive, unfortunately there is not a stronger alternative. The only new units are the cardone's. some members have had success with these, some (myself included) have not.

  7. If money is not an issue get new shafts from Nissan. My second suggestion would be to have a set of OE shafts pulled at a wrecking yards, then rebuild those with Rockford thermoplastic boots. Is your truck lifted? Maybe think about a set of manual hubs which can help with cv longevity.
