The CLEANEST D21 Navara in AUSTRALIA | Dan's 1987 D21 GRAMPA SPEC Nissan Navara

[@jordantripptree280]

Yes!!! Basic 4x4 videos! Most people own something under $6000 and watching 4x4 action is rubbish because I don't have anything close to what they have. This is why you guys are getting your name out so well. People relate to this.

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks Jordan! :)

[@johndunn5767]

Absolutely agree. Finally found a great group of people that I can relate too.

[@michaelhermans4753]

That is a shining example of simplicity in action The emotional attachment is priceless How a vehicle makes you feel is what’s really important Great job Dan you’re grandad would be very proud

[@JosephKibuika]

🤩

[@swishswish386]

Whilst I love all the crazy shit that you guys get up to it is nice to see that you have kept this beautiful old Nissan stock, unmolested and un-flogged. Not only are you showing love, respect and appreciation toward your Grandfather but you are also keeping a piece of living motoring history "alive" - Kudos and respect to you Dan 👍

[@TehTrixxable]

Dan the man, good stuff keeping it stock and tidy.

[@stevencowan5599]

You’re making your grandpa proud of keeping his Ute in top nick order. I’m pretty proud of ya for doing that and as you said not flogging it. 👍👍👍👍 Cheers Steve

A spotless example of a Navara👍 got to love how you can just walk in and still get genuine parts!

I know right!!

[@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059]

I have a 1998 duelcab triton naturally aspirated diesel , mechanical injection , and I love it , goes anywhere , has air con and heating , mechanically it’s 99% immaculate, body is neat . People hate driving behind me on hills but I get great comments on it everywhere it goes, nice to see I’m not the only one with a passion for old and simple .

[@Miggy2j]

Dan is great in front of the camera. Really good editing as well. 10/10.

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks Miggy!!!

A good young bloke in a good old ute.

[@beemo537]

My grandfather passed down to me a beautiful mint condition Sierra, I put on a 2” Lift, 215/75r15 BFG KO2’s, and a couple other little bits and pieces, had some fun in it, then bought a Patrol for that, next step for the Zook is to fix the clear coat and get it all back up to factory spec, I can really appreciate this video, you’ve done a brilliant job Dan, no-one will ever take that Zook from me

[@YaBoyAJS]

Absolute beauty of a Nav, family heirloom right there. Make sure this one stays mint for life!!

[@sizercam]

That's a clean d21 bud, I'm on my 4th d21 from a single cab td27, twin cab 3.0v6 2wd, kingcab z24, and now a twin cab ka24e. Love em!

[@stolzhammer3239]

The passage of time makes everything cool eventually. . This is a great old thing, and the history makes it priceless, This video made me happy!

[@ZeGamblah]

Mate how proud you are of that old Nissan is gold. Do Grampa proud and keep the old girl going!

[@Riley_Finley]

Great video as usual guys! Love the Nav, has a lot of character. Just an idea, you guys should do more of these but with your fans builds! When restrictions loosen or end it’ll be easier obviously but that could be really cool :)

[@DanielB-py1yi]

My name is Dan too and that was the proudest video I've ever seen. So wholesome and love ya channel channel guys. #simpliertime

[@alexcross7739]

Congratulations again boys. Superb content. I am assuming that you weren’t even born in 1987. I was about your age back then. I used to drive a 1967 1300cc ford cortina mk2 back then and it wasn’t just Navaras that we’re slow. Most older cars would be screaming at 100kmh. I’ve also still got a ancient landcruiser 60 series, from the same period.. Keep up the great work boys. Regards Alex

[@AussieArvos]

Cheers Alex!! really appreciate the words!

[@scruiser80]

What an absolute beauty! Hands down the best condition Navara I've ever seen

[@benlux2625]

Love that you’re keeping it original, great work👌👌

This thing is sick! I've got an 89 rwd one love it other than no power steering. Old school is the way to go 👌💪

[@theold60series26]

I drive my grandpa’s 60 series, with the same methodology, keeping it pure. Just lucky it was 6 cylinder and a turbo diesel, a few more kms but agree with the hard no! Well done!!

[@owenbourke8923]

As the owner of a 1984 Hilux I can wholeheartedly agree that N/A diesels do not like inclines no matter how big or small they may be.

[@wadehocking1395]

Love the little ute The older navs are so under rated. My 98 qd32 has been the best 4wd I've owned and the cheapest to buy out right

[@davidjamesrose-southwell9418]

Love the sentimental video mate, and such a beautiful car!

[@adventuregizmo]

Hey my Dad had a 1984 Dual cab with the same SD motor whenhe sold it in 1998 it had 350,000+ km on it and the ONLY thing that was ever needed on it was a gearbox bearing rebuild. They are a great ute and congrats on keeping her going.

[@yesmono]

It’s an oldie but a goodie 🔥

[@jasonwarren4569]

It's good to see that you don't thrash it out like most young blokes. Look after it and get another 30 plus years out of it

[@keilfestin4606]

Dans awesome man good vibes on him . Cheers for answering my question the other video about the RD28 motor

[@BillyTpower]

Cheers from Canada. You got yourself a real survivor car there, awesome that it's been in your family since new. I've been wondering why do some Australian cars have a P sticker?

[@DavidWilson-jv9vh]

For the first 4 years of holding a car licence you must display them, the P is short for probationary. You have extra restrictions on your licence such as no high performance cars (under 125kw/ton), no performance modified cars, limit on how many people you can have in your car, no blood alcohol, use of bluetooth, speed limits etc. Different states have different rules, different time periods and they often have different levels deliniated by different colours of the P.

[@4x4EastCoast]

Nice old truck mate. Reminds me of the old nissan ads that were on tv back in the day.

[@martyk3950]

I love how you are keeping this car! Keep up the videos boys love your work.

[@AussieArvos]

Cheers Marty!!

[@CoopC_07]

My pop has the 1990 Navara Nugget 2.7L . It’s a beast 😂 also the doors sound the same when you open them

That last phrase would make your pop proud mate !!! Dans the man

[@waynegorman408]

Nice looking ute mate. I have a 1995 Pathfinder with. 150,000 KMs and yes the Nissan may not be the fastest. But they do hold their own when 4x4ing. Oh I got mine 4 years ago with 42,000 KM's an old guy in the city.

[@MicksGarageDarts]

Great to see someonw with a lot of respect for their vehicle. Something that was apssed down like this will mean a hell of a lot more to you than anything else and thats why you will look after it. Ive got my Grandfathers old tinny and restored that back to original when I got it (with added Nav Lights & fish finder) and although it rarely sees the water I will never sell it. I will one day pass it down to my son or maybe my younger brother if my son doesnt want it.

[@lochlanprovan6765]

so you boys are from down South as well. I live just out of colac and own a series 3 landie which I bought a year ago, though i can't drive it on the road, gotta wait till i'm 18.

[@zoezoe610]

Good on you buddy your grandad will be proud of you.

[@workingcountry1776]

I love that I see a little trees air freshener. Those are made in Watertown NY about 2 hrs up the highway from me. Theres a US Army base near there; Fort Drum home of the famous 10th Mountain Division - many army wives have worked there over the years I am sure.

[@petergeorge4179]

Love it. Great car, great story. Got an 87 wd21pathfinder same deal slow but great fun.

[@Buzzhumma]

I had a 2wd and it virtually went everywhere my 4wd mates went . It missed out on steep hills from high gearing but it had 4wd tires and wheels . It was amazing and bulletproof but i eventually moved on to a fj45 cruiser . Both where wonderful able vehicles .

[@benbowles1014]

No better way of respecting your Grandad, mate. Great job.
