So... I currently have an 07 Frontier and my 91 shorty Pajero. I use the Frontier as my DD and the Pajero as my wheeling truck. This set up has been giving me a few problem lately:
1) I love my Mits and I'm starting to hate my Frontier
2) What's the point of making a truck payment on the Frontier when I'm always driving the Mits
3) Even though I love my Pajero I have complete fear of it breaking and have no patients for the "great parts hunt" (JDM parts aren't easy to come by)

I'm now thinking I want to sell the Frontier and go with just one vehicle. I just don't think the Pajero will make a DD.

I want a truck that meets the following criteria:
-Unique
-Fun
-Relatively easy to find parts (at least a vehicle sold in Canada)
-Off road capable
-Affordable (say no to payments!)

Eric suggested getting a 3rd Gen or a Monty Sport from the states. I see he's already started a thread about the 3rd Gen. The 3G's are a little out of my price range but I drove home behind a Sport today and like it allot.

What do I need to know about the Sport?

I see they have the 3.0L or the 3.5L, leaf or coil depending on the year. I'm leaning toward 5 spd but they seem less common. What else do I need to know? Are the Axles as strong as other Mits products? How hard is it to find one with an LSD? Do they make lockers? What will it take to clear 33s?

Most importantly... How do they drive!

Right now this whole thing is just an idea... but watch Kijiji 'casue you just might see a Red Nissan Frontier for sale.
