Default Aging D2 with 234461 on the clock & new rubber for the old girl. BFGoodrich K02 tires














No fault codes. No amigos. Inspected. Rust free. Everything works. New tires. Very happy owner. This old girl has become a real work horse for me and my family. She has been more reliable than my girlfriends 2004 Honda Accord and has been there to save the day for countless others in need of help. I'm proud of this truck. Rover on.


2004 S-10 Chevrolet Blazer. Bad alternator and the distributer cap and rotor failed. We got it fixed up.

Stranded 2004 Jeep Liberty. Bad battery.

Then it needed new starter

2004 Honda Accord EX 6 cylinder. Needed new battery and starter. Both failed at the same time. Corroded power steering pipes. Coolant keaking into engine. Shot suspension. Rust. AC compresdor shot. 2 cv axles broke. Etc.

That is one clean and rust free chassis on a NH vehicle! How long have you had it for and what’s your secret for keeping the rust a bay?

Its turning out that way. I've provided more jump-starts this year than I care to count. Replace 3 different starters for people. My truck has definitely been a shinnung light for those in need. Plus I have a 1,100 watt inverter wired directly to my battery so when someone needs help with a repair after hours I use the inverter to light things up so I can see. My trucks really been great.

They are the elusive RRC114560MUW Genuine 16" steel wheels with Genuine center caps. Very hard to find a full set of these wheels. I had them sand blasted, zinc primed and powder coated white.
