My Bargain Nissan Truck, gets a major update. But will it make the improvement I need or just blow the budget ?

Where's the link for the camera please?
The frame rots from the inside out, painting that on won’t do much for it.
As far as I rem it was an issue when making the chassis the bath that they dipped them in was not long enough and they put them in diagonally rather than flat and the inhibitors didn’t reach the inside of the rails properly
What are these trucks like? thinking of getting one , not sure what’s the better engine 2.5 or 3.0
Hey, i just recently replace my leaf spring from a trusted mechanic. but im not a bit sure if it was right. can you tell me where would it be place the long part of the leaf spring place?
thanks
Yes, do front suspension.
So what happened to the truck now then is it still going???
Its probably known but these rust issues with the chassis were unfortunately the Thai build models, I did read this some where, specially navara earlier than 2010 makes, I think from 2010 up they fix the rust issues, Spain built models I believe did not suffer the rust problems..from what I've read and heard.
If you saturate it with oil inside the frame, it will stop rust better than sealing in the moisture with paint. just sayin'
Any update on this one fella ?
Great work by the way, looking at buying a Pathfinder soon, but heard loads of negatives.
Im looking for Second hand engine for that Navara. Can you find me the price?
The suspension on my d40 is completely stuffed after 160k so you should probably change yours
All Wright sausage check the bottom ball joints may slight bit of lift in the joint the bushes in that shockers tend to wear as well as the anti roll bar bushes. In a note the front arms of replaced you will need to have the camber and tracking aligned after due to eccentric nuts and bolts
Mine suffered with rust above and around the fuel tank where I couldn’t see that camera would have been handy.
Yes most definitely should do the front!
Who can see the subliminal puma commercials?
Yes do the front because if it works then I'll do it on mine, I too had chassis rotting. My mot was terminated half way through due to massive holes in the chassis so I ordered one from up north & the back end was welded up & it flew through the mot but I'd never buy another one. Rob
One of the best upgrades you can do to the nav's. Body lift is also really easy & makes a big difference for tyre clearance. Thanks for sharing!
Yep, do the front. I just did all the front bushings on my 157k miles Cayenne – big improvement to handling and noise reduction.
Where were your aftermarket parts made? Most of it looks like it was made in China. I would absolutely not trust suspension parts made in China.
I would check the bushings in the front, but since you're on budget wouldn't replace all of the front suspension in advance.
Good job again on the repairs!
rebuild front also if you intend to keep it.
