It's a nice truck. I'd never be able to build - or afford to build - another like it. But it just doesn't get use. I wheeled it once last year and once this year. I probably should get it smogged, tagged and start driving it to clients... just for fun.

HA! You should. I'm just saying personally if I put that much into such a bad to the bone vehicle I just don't know if I could part with it. Very nice ride man. An if I did I think I would regret it, but that's me. I wish you the best in your decision. An also wish I could afford it.

Surfing and discovered this linked kit @bkg.
Didn't realize that the new Navara's have linked rears.

The ROW Navara is **************. There's a model built in part by Arctic Trucks you can buy THROUGH Nissan like you can with AEV Jeeps. F/R lockers, turbo diesel, 5 link rear, etc.
I know! Not sure why Nissan hasn't brought it over here yet. Not bad looking either.
The Terra looks good too. BOF SUV.

Maybe I'm off on this, but I thought that Frontier we get here in North America was pretty similar to the overseas Navarra, minus the manufacturing location and the availability of the diesel engine.
If Nissan follows through on the rumors floating around (2.8l Cummins), we could very well get the Navarra/Hilux midsized truck that so many of us have been fantasizing about.
The Xterra and Frontier are both highly underrated in the 4x4/overland communities.

100% agree with this. Rented a Frontier once in Jersey. Always been a fan of the exterior... but after renting, I think the interior could use some updating. Overall, though, seemed like a solid truck.
