ripetomatoes Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 It is a Nissan.after a year of homelessness, medical issues, and family drama, i'm starting to get back on my feet.She's an 86.5 hardbody. no heat, no A/C, no power steering, and no radio. But she's mine! Plans so far are -Rent a corona discharge ozone generator to get the cigarette smell out. I quit smoking and the smell is killing me :/ install my CB so i can communicate with truckers whilst driving on the highway. Because I can. :) Maybe a KA swap, not sure yet. new radio, door speakers, and a small sub and amp setup. 4 Quote Link to comment

There's a thing called the hitch shitter, basically it is a toilet seat that attaches to your receiver hitch and you put a plastic bag to poo in. Quote Link to comment

I'll have to look into that... or just park near a port-a-shitter. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Lived in a '79 Bronco for 9 months. Well below freezing and snow for the last month. Police woke me up at 2AM to see if I was alright. Big sleeping bag and down parka, I was warmer than they were. Friends got together and told me to move indoors. 2 Quote Link to comment
