Yeah this just depends on your truck in particular, my 1996 xe has cupholders, and for the most part is clean. I've got some of the same issues though too, belt squeaks no matter what I do to it and it's extremely embarrassing, it's slow, and that's just how it is I guess. These trucks are getting rarer and rarer these days though, and I absolutely adore mine. I wish I had a nice 4wd version, I'd feel much more willing to try and make it pretty, but there's barely any of those left anywhere.
Diloiv.. I have a 1996 XE with cup holders that I had to buy for the floor hump. Lucky you! I took the bed off for repairs, and then I could "lay rubber" in 1st and 2nd.
My roof and hood paint is gone, too. Roof is rust, hood is primer. It was originally maroon. But my interior is in excellent shape for 216,000. My truck also doesn't have a tilt or steering adjustment.
Well done on this video, everything looked great and was a joy to watch. Lighting was great, location was cool, and you did a perfect job speaking to the camera. Nice job!
I took my hardbodys fugly old door panels out and peeled all the old vinyl off, wrapped the upper plastic piece in carbon fiber, and traced the cardboard under the vinyl on to a piece of black abs sheet. Cut it out and attached with stainless finish washers and socket screws. Looks badass, cost about 50 bucks to make.
on my hardbody im going with a custom one piece driveshaft thru a local shop and for camming. Delta cams makes cams for the ka24e wont make it turbo fast but will give it more kick so you can at least beat traffic a little ill be making a video on that once my shop has finished repairing the frame rails and rocker panels at the end of the month
@@dfitzwm that's for sure! You. Should totally put on some custom l.e.d turn signal markers on the front fenders like the Honda crowd..just food for thought.👍
@@FranciscoGonzalez-gq6or I've heard that to be true that these things can take a good hit!? I guess my safety concerns would be the fact these are mini trucks so they are very compact therefore maybe others with bigger cars or trucks don't see us..just saying because I've been almost run off the road by semi driver's and wreck less crossover with turbos and a very entitled crowd of luxo or super cars. It's a Hard life to be a mini truck owner now in days. .at least life is a little less harder with the classic D21 Hardbody. .
@@BLKSTONE4WD my d21 has 235/75/15 size tires and its height is like an SUV. I feel pretty safe out there. But you are right, in comparison to full size pick up trucks, my d21 would get rekt
yeah your column is non adjust. pacesetter header, advance your timing and pop a 3:73 3rd member in it and its not as slow. seat bracket adapter is on corbeau's website. s13 non hicas steering wheel hub slides on can run any after market wheel you want. peep mine for ideas.
1st suggestion is to change this title to "10 Reasons I Hate MY Hardbody" lol. Dude, buy, rent, or borrow a weak cheap pressure washer, and clean up that mud.. not hard. The squeaking is ur belts too loose or has lube on em, or they're so tight that they're ruing the pulley bearings. I bought a Walmart center console that has 4 cup holders and multiple storage spots that fit PERFECT between the seats. No, u can't move the steering wheel unless u wanna do something creative lol. Grind ur rust ALL THE WAY OFF, fill pits with bondo, and paint it.. ull be surprised how much is just surface rust. Learn how to bend plexiglass and mount ur own lights (and learn how to wire). U put 100 bucks a month into that thing and u can have it absolutely mint in 1 year. It's an awesome investment. These trucks don't break and the mileage isn't terrible when it's running right. I was really sad to see ur other video (when it was raining) and how u did the cup holder lmao. Thats some crap I would do 15yrs ago lol... I remember when I was 18, my friend blew my factory speakers, so I NAILED 6x9s into the door panels and put those big ass house speakers in the back hahaha. Dude have fun with the truck, but don't forget u CAN actually make it super sick for really not much money. As long as u do things correctly, even a slow investment budget will get it to where u would just fall in love with it.
As far as cup holders go you can go to a U-pull it junk yard and look for a path finder get the bucket seats and the console it has a two cup holders and the seats will bolt up in the original bolt holes so no drilling and the paint job well all I can tell is get your ass busy sanding and that noise up front is one of your belts lose or worn out adjust or replace belts to stop sweaking a simple way to find out what belt is making the noise have truck running and with some WD- 40 with the spray nossle spay it on one belt at a time till it stops making noise and that's the one you need to tighten up or replace if worn out and cracks in the belt !!!
I am doing a full interior, and our steering wheel is non adjustable. I have put insulation and sound deadener in it. Black, Charcoal, Light Gray interior color.
?????? I bought my 1989 4WD Hardbody new in 1988. Drove it for 23 years and 210K miles until my wife talked me into "selling" it to my Brother-in Law. I kept it in great shape for 23 years, and he trashed it in 3 months.... Had the original paint, interior, pretty much everything. The leather shift knobs were so worn from the oils in my hand that the leather looked like shiny patent leather that Pamela Anderson would have a skin tight leather outfit made from. Wish I could fine one in good shape today.
Hit up rock auto for black carpets, they offer different colours, around $150. Some good points in there, but should change the video name to '10 reasons i hate -->my
Great video. Are you in Charlotte? I'm looking for more hardbody/minitruck homies in the area. Also try Duplicolor Vinyl and fabric paint for the interior and carpet. Works great.
those are petty things that can get repaired, i dont understand why your truck is so low, i had one of 97, a 2x4 which had a pretty good height ride and mine had a black interior. regarding the steering wheel, it cannot be adjusted. regarding the engine, a good maintenance will allow the vehicle to be quieter and believe me, their fuel consumption also are very decent for their age
Dude...I have the exact same truck. Only with the v6 and automatic trans. My shit flies. Love my hardbody. As far as parts go wheels seats whatever. I guess I have the upper hand. I work at a salvage yard so finding parts is NOT A PROBLEM.
Yeah I have 1986.5 had one blow off bounced off windshield didn’t know what it was at time because there was no other cars around wasn’t till got home noticed one was missing, got lucky a local Nissan dealer had them in stock $20 bucks had to paint it to match color though
Wtf is wrong with people! Its a junk 4 cylinder... Those are junk. Different fram body etc not the same as a 3.0l. The 3.0 was same engine as the z. Those 4 cylinders are junk
Hey man I have one but it's a single cab I love my truck and also I am building it as of now can you reply to my comment on where can I buy that red front tow hook?
I have a 96 and have zero road noises or exhaust problems and if you don’t like the power in it then turbo it and it’s a ka24e motor and parts from a Nissan 240 will work for the motor and I can find wheels all day long to fit the stock 6lug without adapters just milling the center hole of the wheels and the reason for no suspension travel is because you are trying to slam the truck with wheels that are offset to where they poke out you basically have it static dropped if you want anymore info reply and you can follow the Instagram for messaging
i believe this to be your most viewed video my guy, what did you do here that was different from anything else study analyze, the way you edited the actual truck the background aesthetic, you have the ability to get attention this video is obviously proof
Buy a 240sx alternator tensioner it works 1000 times better the squeak is just gonna come back with the stock tensioner on 👍 my d21 had that same problem that squeak is like hell and embarrassing sometimes buying a new belt won’t work for to long
Sorry dude, it's not about the truck that you hate, its you, everything can be fix and make it nice. d21 motor if you know what to put in the motor it will go fast. my d21 goes 11sec 1/4 mile..sorry again.
cleaning or color related can't even be hated on. You chose that truck, you can change that as well. But the hp (which you can't really hate on, it's a small truck, shaped like a brick, not meant to be fast) and technicals such as the lowering capabilities (on stock suspension) does suck, I went thru the same thing.
@@dfitzwm oh no, im not saying everyone should hate those, nor anything among those lines. I am just giving my two cents, whatever that's even worth these days. But I agree, they're great trucks, even with their flaws, ya gotta love these little shit boxes 😂❤
To tell you the truth… Seems like all your problems can be easily solved with some money dumped into it. These trucks go up in value nowadays. So any money you put into it you can get out of it whenever you want. You can get plenty of power out of a 2.4L. I have a 1993 with a 2.4 L in a five speed and I can smoke the rear wheels tires very easily. Scoots around town pretty good as well. Sounds like you need to put a couple of bucks into it, then you’ll be fine 😉
I had the same feeling about the ugly blue interior. I did something about it though, stripped everything, completely remade the interior into a black & red colormix.
I put my cup between my legs😂 I cut my muffler off little thing is loud, yea she squeaks and is old and dirty but she’s a good truck my truck is fast as shit and it’s the same thing as yours but not lowered I haven’t even done much to it and it’s a good thing I love it
The torsion bars could be adjusted differently, I’m sure the shock in spring set up is different after so many years but it’s hard to say without looking at the truck
Bro that squeak is your tensioner pulley, mine has been doing it so I bought a new pulley and changed the belts and it still fucking squeaked!! I know it’s that pulley because I spray wd40 on it and it stops. I even greased the bolt it spins on and it helped but not all the way. Any takes for you?
I have a 95 hard body that I had since it was new I had the KA built spent over 4 grand on parts and machine work and had son ed who wanted to race yesterday in a V-8 powered Titan and I smoked his ass in my KA-24 powered Hard body I blew by his ass about buck 30 and was hossing it at him and I throwed it back in forth gear and let her rip tatar chip !!! Embarrassed him so bad he didn't want no more of that KA !!!
your hating on a nissan d21 when got like that , no drink holders come on man go buy one they sale them, dirty engine bay clean it, no suspension remove bump stop rubber and get shorter shocks , paint your truck, and for your interior you can buy black seat covers change the carpet , door panels to black and paint the dashboard black . sad .......
Lmao it seems an enthusiast has found this video, I would’ve loved to do all that but sadly I traded it. Anyways it’s titled “... I hate” not why you have to too, just my thoughts!
Lmao ok. this was the 80s and 90s your cup holder was your thighs. If you want an a different interior, find an old pathfinder they had better color. Suspintion can be solved with heavy spring and shock, maybe a 1" lift. But yours looks lowered. Your steering wheel may not be ajustible. But back to the pathfinder you can put it in it. Paint is not hard son. If you want the og color go to your local paint shop, get them to pull your paint code or match. Nowadays you can even get it in rattle can sooo.
yeah my current car doesn't have them either haha. Sadly this truck is gone now but i would've loved to try a different interior. thank you for all your input I will be sure to keep it in mind because I do want another one one day
@@dfitzwm mine is turning out great. 93 nissan pickup lowered artic white. Going to make custom. Tanneau cover for it. And custom fin for the tail gate..
Bro everything you don’t like about it I don’t like about mine lmaoo I got mine with Red interior I wish I had gotten blue instead🤦🏽♂️ but yeah man I like the little wheel power it has I been sliding mine but because mine is stock on hight there’s not many things you can do with it unless you have like 10k to turn it into a little drift demon
sucks to be in such a bad place in life to feel the need to comment stuff like this I'm really sorry man. The truck was 700 bucks and i did exactly what i wanted to do to it so maybe get one yourself and do what you want instead of telling me what to do with mine, thanks!
We were doing about 103 in an eclipse, and a friend with a hardbody with bolt ons blew right past us. Now I want one
I would 100000% get one bro
Def get onelivin mine
Ive got one now, Id highly reccomend it
Dont hate the truck, give it love...
I do I do!!
Amen. 8/10 hates are things you bought or can change with some love. Either way, nice video, lighting and editing. Keep it up!
These all sound like reasons you hate THAT PARTICULAR D21.
Probably should’ve yeah
Do a tutorial on how to delete the emissions amd egr im looking to do the same
I will it’ll be further in the future but if I do it I will for sure make a video!
Literally just rip it all out cap the vacuum lines and block off the egr lol
Take everything out, cap the vacuum lines close to the intake manifold, remove the charcoal canister and block off the egr.

Hey fitz why my truck is lower on the passenger side then the driver side??
The torsion bars could be adjusted differently, I’m sure the shock in spring set up is different after so many years but it’s hard to say without looking at the truck
@@dfitzwm thanks bro I going to try that I forgot to tell you I live in hickory NC
Why complain if you have one 😐
you are exactly right bob, this video was really hard to make lmao. Just for content man 👍
How is the engine power?
terrible
Bro that squeak is your tensioner pulley, mine has been doing it so I bought a new pulley and changed the belts and it still fucking squeaked!! I know it’s that pulley because I spray wd40 on it and it stops. I even greased the bolt it spins on and it helped but not all the way. Any takes for you?
ahh thank you i no longer have the truck but if i get another one then i will keep an eye out
@@dfitzwm damn bro Why’d you get rid of it
I have a 95 hard body that I had since it was new I had the KA built spent over 4 grand on parts and machine work and had son ed who wanted to race yesterday in a V-8 powered Titan and I smoked his ass in my KA-24 powered Hard body I blew by his ass about buck 30 and was hossing it at him and I throwed it back in forth gear and let her rip tatar chip !!! Embarrassed him so bad he didn't want no more of that KA !!!
your hating on a nissan d21 when got like that , no drink holders come on man go buy one they sale them, dirty engine bay clean it, no suspension remove bump stop rubber and get shorter shocks , paint your truck, and for your interior you can buy black seat covers change the carpet , door panels to black and paint the dashboard black . sad .......
Lmao it seems an enthusiast has found this video, I would’ve loved to do all that but sadly I traded it. Anyways it’s titled “... I hate” not why you have to too, just my thoughts!
Lmao ok. this was the 80s and 90s your cup holder was your thighs. If you want an a different interior, find an old pathfinder they had better color. Suspintion can be solved with heavy spring and shock, maybe a 1" lift. But yours looks lowered. Your steering wheel may not be ajustible. But back to the pathfinder you can put it in it. Paint is not hard son. If you want the og color go to your local paint shop, get them to pull your paint code or match. Nowadays you can even get it in rattle can sooo.
yeah my current car doesn't have them either haha. Sadly this truck is gone now but i would've loved to try a different interior. thank you for all your input I will be sure to keep it in mind because I do want another one one day
dont clearcoat a patina
true
Actual video name: 10 REASONS I HATE *MY* D21 HARDBODY!

Yes this right here is what I’m gonna do
Maybe put some effort in fixing it to look nice you may like it....
i miss it tbh, it was a daily beater but had plans of a true stance truck
@@dfitzwm mine is turning out great. 93 nissan pickup lowered artic white. Going to make custom. Tanneau cover for it. And custom fin for the tail gate..
check ur rack and pinion
Will do
It doesn't have a rack and pinion, it has a steering gearbox and they leak alot
Chill out dude. Just buy a car.....
yeah i got an altima thanks
Little truck
Bro everything you don’t like about it I don’t like about mine lmaoo I got mine with Red interior I wish I had gotten blue instead🤦🏽♂️ but yeah man I like the little wheel power it has I been sliding mine but because mine is stock on hight there’s not many things you can do with it unless you have like 10k to turn it into a little drift demon
hahah with a little time and patience you can get it where you want it! and yeah naw I aint got 10k for that thing hahah
So u dont hate the d21, you hatd the way u have let it stay in disrepair and you dont feel like learning how to work on YOUR truck
sucks to be in such a bad place in life to feel the need to comment stuff like this I'm really sorry man. The truck was 700 bucks and i did exactly what i wanted to do to it so maybe get one yourself and do what you want instead of telling me what to do with mine, thanks!
