I BOUGHT A CHEAP NISSAN NAVARA FOR £500!

[@crusadeagainsttomatoes2518]

I felt exactly like you, Matt, I felt sad watching the video. You just know that this guy had so much fun outfitting his car, thinking about the details, being meticulous in documenting maintenance. And then he just passes. That’s sad. I hope he had many good experiences with it and that he enjoyed driving it, keeping it tidy and installing stuff. No one will appreciate what you did to your car more than yourself.

[@Rroff2]

Was a bittersweet video to watch as someone with a kitted out D40 Navara, though not to this extent. I can appreciate, at least somewhat, how the previous owner thought about their vehicle and the experiences they've had.

I was given one as a Christmas present a couple of years ago…now, bearing in mind I’m approaching 70…I drive an old Toyota Avensis and rarely venture beyond the local shops my use for it was always going to be limited…but the joyful surprise I mustered on being given it was worthy of an Oscar and although this reaction was an act it was an act of love. ❤️

[@NGMonocrom]

6:51 ~ That's a really good tea kettle, Matt. That's usually made out of Titanium. But can be found made from basic aluminum too. 8:02 ~ That is a folding entrenching tool. Copy of the Gerber design that used to be (perhaps still is) standard-issue in the U.S. Army. Campers often use one to dig temporary trenches for use as an improvised bathroom (not for urine). Then they fill in the trenches with dirt afterwards, to bury their "business." Using one is easy. Don't extend it all the way. Just mostly so. Keep the head at a 90-degree angle pointed down. Stand with feet wide apart. Bend at the waist. 2-hand hold on the horizontal handle. Slam the tip of the head into the dirt as hard as you can, then pull back towards you to create the deep trench. What to do with it? Another vote for donating it to your Ukrainian friend. I'm sure he'll be happy to take it off your hands. Even if he has to tow it to where it needs to go before getting shipped over. Hopefully it survives longer than that Mitsubishi SUV you donated.

Fun fact - the D22 continued to be produced here in South Africa until about 2 or 3 years ago. Remained very popular due to their toughness and relatively low cost. They were upgraded with the newer YD25 turbo diesel engines from later Navaras, but were known locally simply as the “Hardbody”. That hardbody, so to speak, was probably the reason for them being discontinued. About four years back, some safety oversight body crash tested them against the latest modern standards, and gave them a zero safety rating. Apparently, the people inside became the crumple zones.
