I'd love to be able to tackle this myself but it would take forever and I'd probably blow up the motor The motor is going to need to be broken in with it having only 500 miles on it and its transmission (which is zero miles now since it was bulletproofed by LevelTen)
The reason I would go first gen over second is drive train strength, and cost. Whatever I buy is going to be a dedicated expo rig. It's not going to be a daily driver, so I don't mind sacrificing a few creature comforts in the name of cost.
Yeah, I wish the rearend was more stout for sure. I'm using a Titan locking rear diff/axle and will be upgrading to a 2012 e-locker or tro trac and chromoly axles. We are trussing the rear axle as well
It sucks that finding a good first gen with under 150k is hard, and they go for a pretty penny. It's even harder to find one with a good maintenance history. I almost pulled the trigger on a 03 the other day, but the guy wanted too much, and wasn't willing to budge on the price.Yeah, I wish the rearend was more stout for sure.

I was reading on one of the titan forums not that long about the guys replacing their e-lockers with truetracs. Everyone loved the difference and said it's really great with Nissan's ABLS. Have you chosen which way you will go yet?
