Yah dude the alt went super nova and shot so many of the electronics that i just gave up on her. It was a total bill of 1200 bucks for them to fix and replace everything that got screwed up (on top of the 350 that they already charged just to get it running). So basically i figured that after buying the damn thing for close to $4300, sinking close to $2k in parts, wheels & tires, random fixes, etc and now this! I just said efff it gimme $1500 for the hatch and keep her. They fixed the damn thing in a week and already have it up for sale

But i loooove my truck! I think i already mentioned the fogs? If not, then i am now Theyre on their way tonight or tomorrow the guy said ha im super pumped *insert insanely happy face here*

Ninja edit And just in case y'all are wondering, the truck cost me $6,347.93 exactly! so had 2k in savings, and 1500 from the hatch so down to close to 2800 left...not too bad for a nice little p/u from this half of the milenium

i have a 02 frontier SE v6 2wd, its an ok truck. if its auto, make sure you do a trans fluid and filter change when you do a oil change. those shop guys screwed you over on the hatch.

The shops probably laughing that you sold it so cheap. You could have paid the 1200 and sold it much more than 3k, so you wouldve lost less.

^ Yea true but my dad and i were prety frustrated with the whole thing so we just said efff it and were doing okay with the truck now...payment wise.

And yea Mitch, i already feel the trans shifting kind of hard from first to second...probably the next oil change ill pay to have it all done

Oh and Superfly, yes thats the overall idea...minus the redneck end of the statement muahaha
