Well, here is this 87 Nissan you guys may have heard me talk about a few times. My dad owned this truck for a few years, then my Uncle, now it's back to me. They said they thought the clutch was shot or the transmission. I got in it to start it and noticed there wasn't much of a pedal for the clutch...pumped it up and it's been good since. I'm gonna try and bleed it and see if I have any luck there. Not sure what I'm going to do with this thing but I might throw on the set of 33" bfg muds and just club the piss out of it till it breaks. The frame is surprisingly ok so I might end up tucking this away till that god damn money tree starts growing. Every time it grows a little it gets struck by lightning

So how many years later it is finally in your hands. I say since your already beating the shit out of the jeep you should throw some cheap muds under it and enjoy Mikes mud bog in the spring and just beating on it. Keep it cheap, keep it fun.

33" Mud Terrains fit...I'm gonna cut some of the rotten fenders out a bit and just smash around with this thing. It takes a damn good beating, we were just clubbing the shit out of it in our empty lot. Airborne and all - I would have had better video but when I thought I was videoing i wasn't and visa versa.
This was the weakest run but still fun...we were like giddy teenagers.

I see it being a hell of a good time. Scary part is I don't think either of us have enough fear to back down at all. I'm talking demo derby style...I can see us now.

we could do this then! how fast you go and how badly you smash it up depends on how badly you want to win. don't have to jump or smash...if you don't want to win.

Damn for a 1000 bucks thats not bad strip the axels and drive line and scrap the truck. Hell the trucks probly worth $250 or so in scrap metal. Then I could swap the motor, axles and tires under my YJ, Then take the drive line and tires that i took out of the yj and sell it and almost break even.
