We bought this truck back in 2004 in Southern California. This is a non-USA market truck and was never sold in this country by Nissan. It was 100% stock at that time we bought it!
The story went, that the original owner imported it from Germany when he moved to the USA in the mid-to-late 1980’s. We bought the truck from the second owner. Over more than five years we built the truck up and kept upgrading its components after each build.
We took this truck on off-road trips in Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and Arizona. It was an incredible machine and well known by Patrol owners around the world!
