The Nissan Hardbody is only the most reliable truck they ever produced 😏😏
BIIIGGGG FACTS
Facts
bought my '96 d21 about a month ago and absolutely love her to death, totally agree with your assessments! so far I've only had to replace a couple parts and they were super cheap and easy to install. Great car all around.
Glad that remains the same a few years later haha I would get another in a heartbeat!
you have a new subscriber from Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico 🚘🏁❤️🚘
Carlos Emmanuel Pérez holaaaa!! Thanks for the sub man!
Got mine for 450 bucks, it's stuck in second gear but still mobs... I did the cheap lowering blocks and cranked the torsion bars way down. I freaking love this truck.
The static bounce is the best man I kinda miss mine might get another
THIS WAS FUN! YOUR TRUCK IS A GREAT CHOICE AND A ZILLION PEOPLE WOULD AGREE FOR MOST OF THE SAME REASONS.
I think so, I tried to come up with some good ones
Sweet, I'm scooping one up today randomly for $600 , clean title and completely stock
Misguided_Angel_1904 HELL YES MAN
I've owned mine for 5 years. Love it to death.
Might be letting mike go but still I love it so much
@@dfitzwm NNNNOOOOOO
Do you still have it and what year is it?
The poor man's Toyota. Most don't make it too 300k miles but still great pickups.
100% would rival a toyota pickup
If you’re going to do the hanger re-drill just measure 2 inches straight up from the centre of the existing bolt. By doing so your rear wheels will stay centred in the wheel well. I also have a channel and work on my hardbody, randomly came across your videos, just wanted to say that I think it’s great you live in an nice neighbourhood and drive this truck. It’s like a giant middle finger with the patina and rust haha. Anyways, good stuff, keep it up!
This is exactly what I needed man!! I can’t wait to make a video on it too. You have no idea how funny it is riding around here and smacking bump stops with the previous belt squeak (a freaking scream really) in the shitbox but I think the little thing is so cool so I could care less! And I appreciate it dude I will it means a lot!
@@dfitzwm watch stone broke garage redrill its not 2inches straight up
That back drop though😍
Riley Pendleton nc for the win!
Your “more stuff to break line” caused me to sub like the way you think
hahah thank you
My uncle gave one to me for free. Im so excited. Cant wait to go pick it up!
Its automatic tho. Like how much would it be to swapped a manual? I guess it cant be too hard either
Hell yes dude! youd need the transmission, driveshaft, clutch pedal, trans master/slave cylinder, trans mounts and other little things overall it wouldnt be too bad
great video man
NC gang. we really are the best.
yeah fr
The D21 is a fantastic truck!
i loved it every second i had it!!
"If it aint broke dont fix it" its broken and he doesnt really fix it. Lol love it cant wait to get my hardbody
LMAO I would definitely buy another one I miss his truck
I just got my D21 running. Now to restore it, inside and out. 1994 XE King Cab.
Hell yeah man enjoy it!
I have a 87 d21 hardbody lowered five and half inches finna throw it on 18s and love the truck just need little body work and then I paint it love this little truck
hell yeah man that sounds awesome!
@@dfitzwm dude I enjoy watching the videos now I’m finna start my channel up with mine
I have a stanced 93 xcab d21 I love these trucks
Me too man!
I have a 93’ and it’s my fav vehicle I’ve owned
I would get another in a heartbeat man
I really like those wheels
I appreciate it man! It’s made the terrible paint on this thing not so bad
Great video thank you brother. I just got a 93' d21 with 130xxx free from my wifes uncle. planning some mods
hell yeah man congrats that thing will go forever and you'll have so much fun with it!
It’s a truck miata GUYSS OMG IITS A TRUCK MIATA
yo honestly it is
Your engine is way much cleaner than mine.
It’s funny you say that I actually covered it in degreaser and power washed it out before this video haha
Where you buy the arnez you have in front of your truck?
Job Macias the what?
ong wit 6 i have my 97 nissan hardbody with 337k on it and she still runs strong.
that is sick man they go forever
i just bought a 1993 Chevy S10 Extended cab
lets goo another great mini truck
wow, my tensioner pulley bearing got stuck and had to replaced mine. but thankfully it was cheap and stupid easy to put on haha. i live in nc to so if i ever spot a tightener bolt. I'll messenge yea and mail it to you. #d21forlife
OfficialSouthSoul hey man that’s the nicest thing I’ve herd in a fat minute. I traded the truck for a Miata so thankfully I won’t need any parts for it haha. Really man it means a lot and thank you for offering !
@@dfitzwm dang man that sucks lmao! It's hard to find people doing videos on these trucks on youtube now of days. but hey, congrats on the miata man! plan on getting me to autocross once i get on my two feet. looking forward to see what you post next.
Replace oil pump trust me is worth every dollar
@Joseph Kennedy I can do that with my eyes closed on my Z24i it takes time to master this trucks . 20 years experience
is putting in a new stereo/sound system easy? could you make a video on it please
honestly i think it is but i haven't done one on my own, my friend helped me put one in the skyline
It is. They make a harness pigtail kit. I have a single DIN in mine. Kept the little cubby under the radio. Mounting the radio might be a little challenging, but yeah, it's not that hard.
Wow this is the video we get for getting 300?
I’m thinking about sliding the bitch
You could comfortably buy one at 300,000 miles because they have another 300,000 to go. These trucks are mini tanks, and you can’t kill them. 😎
Mines at 292 and running like a singer sewing machine
bro I agree 100%, thats how i feel about the ls400 and want to trade for another d21 tbh haha
right dude?? mine was at 200k and other than the slightest chain rattle it was so great
What kinda wheels do you have?
I believe they were level 8 MK6
Fitz Miller thanks
I love my d21
Alex Olivera me too bro this things awesome !
And I just broke the same power steering tensioner pulley, while changing the same alternator belt
hahah of course it seems that's a common problem
Did you do an alignment after loosening the torsion bars?
Hunter Mayon no but both wheels are toed out
Hey what mpg do you get with the pickup? I’m considering selling my car for one
I dont remember it was okay maybe 18-25
My brother's hardbody has 200,000 miles and runs like a dream
Exactly man they go forever
oil filter looks tough to get to on my '97 4 cylinder.
sorry bout that
saw one at my job yesterday and older man was driving a lowered hardbody and the old bastard wouldn’t even converse with me about it😐
haha well let him be a grumpy old man if he wants to, his mistake
I drive a 86 d21🙏🏼 north ca!!
nice man I miss mine!
What wheels are those? I own a 1999 Nissan D22 Frontier
Level 8 mk6
What kind of rims are those? Looking for something similar.
Level 8 mk6
When’s it getting a straight pipe and a huge turbo?
Seriously tho maybe an rb swap
Fitz Miller that’d be dope
I just bought a 94’ with 99,000 mi ... any advice ? I hope to keep it a loooooong time
Oil change every 3k miles, baby it if you can, fix anything that needs to be fixed before modding it and of course keep it clean! Watch for chain rattle and take care of it if it’s there that’s about it man congrats!!!
Keep clean oil in it. Don't over heat it. I have a '94 with 218k on it. It's loud, slow and gets crap mileage, but it's a great truck.
My bone stock 94 has a 124,000 mi on it, rattles for about 1/2 a second it start up and after that it's quiet. Everything works including the AC. The only thing I don't like is it was built for midgets and I'm six foot two so not very comfortable.
looking to pick one up! any tips on what to look for? is there anything that will ruin the value?
Um not too much, listen for chain rattle and check for major rust, other than that just make sure it runs and drives fine!
Look for a manual transmission I would not own one that’s has an automatic
Which hardbody do you like best if you can choose to have another one?
not exactly sure what you mean cuz d21s are "hardbodys" but mini truck wise I would 100000% get another d21, wouldnt have to be extended cab but as long as it runs and drives theyre great
a couple things and this isnt meant to be a dick just some constructive criticism. first off no way your getting 30-35mpg my 91 ext cab with ony 19k on the engine and kept tuned maybe gets 21-23 maybe. also other then the engine it is in no way a 240sx leaf spring vs independent torsion bar vs mcphearson struts. with that said i do enjoy the videos still waiting for that re drill one haha
Nah you have valid points and I can’t argue with facts tbh it was a complete guess 😂. The 240 one was just cuz rwd coupe w a ka. Other than that I conpletely get it that it’s a truck! Yeah dude me too.. it rained for 9 days straight here and it’s gonna be another 4 😔. Also I’m not gonna lie I’m lowkey scared to do the redrill. I’m just gonna say fuck it soon and do it and see how it goes (in detail😉) so I promise ima do it soon
I get 16 mpg with the auto.
You still got it?
sold years ago
I’m thinking of getting one of these as my first car/project car, is it a good idea?
100% yes it was like $1900 total to have a sick running stance truck. Just make sure it runs really well I’d look for one with at most 160k just so that u have plenty of life left
Fitz Miller alright man, I’ve actually gotten nothing but a yes as an answer, so I guess I’m set!
i paid $500 for my 1995 hardbody, 5 speed 2wd i will never sell it. I will end up putting a ls1 or soemthing in it, but ill never sell it.
hell yeah man hang on to it for me I miss mine lmao
@@dfitzwm gotta get another one bro... for real amazing trucks i thought about making it a drift truck but then i figured i dont wanna break it man and just use it for work i mow yards ect ect so its perfect for me i put $140 into brakes and calipers and brake hoses but now its all good. Before the brakes would smoke and shit finna catch fire and stuff man was crazy
@@dfitzwm i got everyone trying to buy it from me lmao. I aint sellin it man
I drive a single cab 96 hard body I love my little truck bout to roll over 300,000 just now getting broken in
Hell yeah I would 100% get another
Wheel specs ?
17x9 +or- 12 i think
I drove one of these today and wanted to see if anyone made videos on it and found this.
I had to move some stuff quickly and a friend owned it.
One big thing I think noting is that this is ECONOMY for 1990. Stepping into this thing coming from even say, a 1997 Maxima, its a BIG difference.
This thing was not made with comfort or modern amenities in mind AT ALL.
I used to own a 1991 3000GT and that thing was still WAY better than this as far as livability goes.
Its not all that comfortable, not terrible, but not comfortable IMO. Not even really a place to left your leg if you rest it on the right like me.
Obviously its going to smell (or at-least mine did, exhaust), and be very utilitarian.
Its also slow, and lowkey kind of unsafe, I couldn't imagine driving this thing on the highway.
I wouldn't buy this as my first vehicle PERSONALLY, but that's just me.
I would buy this as a backup/weekend hauler/I guess fun toy.
Or if you really needed something reliable in a pinch and don't mind it for what it is.
In my opinion, this is like bare bare minimum of what you need to drive today, and I say that with many caveats in mind.
With that being said though, its not all negative. First off, I kind of thought it was cool. Driving this little thing in stick, it has some personality and def put these trucks on my radar.
The one I drove had 277K and counting. The owner drives it ALLOT. He puts probably 2K-3K miles a month on this little thing, highway driving across several states.
So I mean, me personally, I couldn't drive this thing for a long period, but this guy can do 12+ hours in it. Just different strokes. Its a little too basic for me.
I think you really have to humble yourself or know what you're getting into.
The guy got it for $800 though. You can't beat that.
30-35 mpg........nope.
okay more like 20-25
Never 30-35mpg. Never. Maybe 28
Was 28 at best 😂
Swap that KA24 for a VG30
I’m doing the opposite 💀
