Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 (edited) I am just getting all my projects out there for you folks to see. This one started in 2013 when I purchased a 1986.5 Long Bed HD V6 Hardbody with a poor running engine. I parted the truck out and saved many good bits, including the cab. In 2018 I purchased a 1992 WD21 Pathfinder with a blown engine and front end damage for $250. From there I chopped the body off and dropped the 86.5 cab on to it. I ended up swapping it to 5 speed and dropping in a VG33ER from an 2003 Xterra in it. It is still running the VG30e ecm and has been a bit of a hassle to get running but last summer I figured it out and had it running solid. Still a ton of work to do but it is way past the bare frame it started as. It's name is Double Dare XL and I plan to have it finished, registered and on the road this Summer. Double Dare XL, my other huge project... Running but before I replaced the injectors and did some minor tweaks. 6psi. The day the cab went on to the frame. The entire 70+ video series can be seen here... Video#5 is when the project really takes a turn. Edited March 15 by Pounding Rox Truck Shop 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Mine is kind of a hat tip to that thus the XL for Xtra Large. The wheels are pretty damn close too. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 Looks like I am replacing the power steering pump. Too many times run dry while getting the engine to run in the first place. It runs and drives now but the pump suffered. I guess I wasn't thinking because of the pure shock this thing ran in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 Still no real test drive on the road until I sort the PS pump and brakes but here it is moving on its own from the perspective of my security camera. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted April 15 Author Report Share Posted April 15 Thanks! That's another project on deck. It was going to be an autocross car but I think I am going to make it road legal again and drive it. 1 Quote Link to comment
