Question:
This month (2/06) marks the 20th birthday of my 86.5 Hardbody. (This is also my 100th post) I was wondering what the average age of our Nissans is.

Choices:
0 - 5 yrs
6 - 10 yrs
11 - 15 yrs
16 - 20 yrs
21 + yrs (Legally old enough to smoke.)

 

I too have an 86.5, tho it's birthday isn't till next month.

1972 FJ40 Landcruiser

Haven't taken it offroad much though- I'm in a slow painting project.

Oh, good. I still have time to send a card. Yours hasn't come yet, by the way. Maybe tomorrow.

It looks like rigs from the early 90's are in the lead.

Where are all the new trucks? Too pretty to wheel?

2001 w/ 120k miles

and of course the '66 Scout too..

You're covering both extremes.

I really think that MOST trucks get dress-up items in their first year, followed by several years of neglect. Then they are sold or traded. The new owner cleans it up and starts making changes. To find out what he can do with it, he turns to N4W for inspiration. He stumbles accross this poll and checks the second or third box.
In my case, I am probably the forth owner. The truck was all but left for dead. In its present condition I won't hesitate to take a torch to it to modify it. Let's just say that the crappier it is, the more you are willing to hack it up.
Just a theory, but that could change as the votes come in.
