beavis0076 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I saw a hardbody yesterday that I had forgotten about. It was a hardbody painted in the USA colors and looked like a Baja edition. I used to see them all the time years ago..... but havn't seen one in years now.... and this one looked like it just came out of a detail shop.... it was AWESOME!!! Anyone know the name of them? I was trying to google it to get a pic.... but cant find one... Looks a little like this http://www.titantalk.com/forums/attachment...weiser-edit.jpg Edited March 27, 2009 by beavis0076 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yeah, those were styled after the prerunner race scene. IIRC they came with neat tube bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'm going to say I would probably kill for one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I believe they were called Desert Runners(like the one GG posted). Nissan revived the name in, I think, with the Frontier Desert runner badging. Not the same rig though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to find one! where did you get the pic? do you know someone with one?I would like a set of the tube bumpers too..... Did a google search, tried AC because I remember a discussion about someone finding one for sale about 4 years ago, but couldn't locate it so I searched "Desert Runner Hardbody" and someone had this image posted on NOR.

Kingman Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I find "tough" and "independent torsion bar front suspension" to be hilarious. What a crock... Bad ass little truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Nissan made this only one year. Last time I looked, the body decals were still available....at some $3400 per side..... I have seen one only two before. One in Lufkin, TX and one trashed (sad) one in Dallas. I would probably kill for one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
