sorry chris well reminded .... ill add it now !!!!

Yes front suspension and springs with bushes too is common thing to doo both.

Yes would like to see front suspension replaced.

I think these leaf springs dont need replacing unless they're broken in half; wire brush them and obviously replace the bushes at their ends.

Springs get soft w/ wear & time, but wear can do it all on its own, so unless your backside has ridden in that truck it is difficult to critique a guy's decision on the springs.

I would definitely be doing the front suspension

YES and who really sticks to a budget! 😂👍🔧

Yeah, I think you should do it, I mean you are still within the budget and we need more lockdown content 😀

Search for some used hard folding tonneau cover or a Roll-N-Lock, so you can put stuff in the bed, and protect it from rain and thieves. Also there's some bed extenders, that are great to extend the bed size, to put the bikes on the bed, since the double cab models, you can't fit a bike with the tailgate closed.

Good progress on this project. I think a bit more detail about removing the old and installing the new leaf springs would have made this video more informative - you said you ran into some trouble. It's these gotchas and how you work your way through them that is your most value-added content, imo. I enjoy viewing how you figure it out.

Exactly.

Give the truck the attention it needs, should easily be available for about half of the remainder of the budget. Fantastic channel

I’m actually on the hunt for a Nav myself, this video makes me want to do the same and have fun along the way... 👍🏼 from me

Nice work, as always! Even if you do the front suspension, it's still a bargain.That's exactly the kind of truck I need as well!

Absolutely loving this series

One of the best upgrades you can do to the nav's. Body lift is also really easy & makes a big difference for tyre clearance. Thanks for sharing!

Go for it , the truck deserves it , really enjoying this series 👍👍

Enjoyed watching glad you have got improvement keep up good work.

Thanks for the ISO entertainment Scott - All the way fro New Zealand

Front bushes only on less the shocks are leaking. Thanks for posting 👍

front suspension sure, its technicly great for keeping daily family truck man.

Love the channel and love the diversity of jobs and projects. Thank you for helping keep me sane as Im tearing my hair out on lockdown..... Can I just point one thing out dude. Im not trying to correct you.... I used to say the same thing all the time during my apprenticeship and the trainer used to throw things at me😂......The springs are the "shock absorbers"...The other things are dampers. The springs absorb the shock....the dampers control it... Sorry dude😂😂😂

Love this series great vid... love the fact the kids are telling you to change the suspension 😂😂😂 as much as I love the series, can’t see the truck justifying more money with 200k miles on it 😬

Definitely change the front suspension to match the rear

Yes definitely change the front suspension it will need doing. Love the channel, keep doing what your doing 👍🏽

Yep, do it, change the front aswell!👍🏼

Great work Scott and budget notwithstanding I’d upgrade the front suspension for safety alone as worth it - amazing transformation so far great work 👍

Hammerite paint is the best way to go, solid as and lasts the distance, great stuff.

Well done! If you want to keep the truck for yourself yes you should do the front suspension. Its recommended to recheck the torque of the U Bolt nuts after couple miles - the polyurethane bushes usually comes with silicone grease to increase durability and remove any squeaky noise. I'm in the same process on my Jeep, I wish I did have the patience to record like you. Cheers

If you're gonna keep it, may as well. Was wondering why you didn't go ahead with it this time. Thanks for keeping up with content. Y'all stay safe.

Nice build. Try to use a small remote mic on you. The sound gonna be better.

I’m loving this project, need the front suspension doing as well. Need to see the Porsche too, keep this up please! 😀

love your videos! Stay safe and finish the Porshe! :-)

Change the fronts as well, but check all the bushings. The weight of the truck can destroy the bushes quicker.

Great video glad you did those chassis rails too, looks great really good job. Just some waxoyl for inside the rails now once you can get some. I would change the front suspension too if the budget allows then at least you know the whole lot is done and sorted. Great project 👍🏻😊

I would check the bushings in the front, but since you're on budget wouldn't replace all of the front suspension in advance. Good job again on the repairs!

Yes mate new front shockers and brakes and any worn bushes on the front and its drive like a new truck👍SORTED!

Top job!

I am new to your channel. First saw you with that crazy man from Florida. Always looking forward to your next video. they are excellent.

Good job mate :) you could try filling the rails with expanding PU foam to keep water and dirt out

Go for it, you've made a bio-hazard truck into a really nice utility vehicle!!

Usually you just need to change the bushings on the rear leaf strings. Mybe you should also check some lift kits. And install some inner fender mud guards on the back. You can build your ones with rubber panels or molding plastic. It will help preventing rust on the chassi.

Do the front suspension, maybe not all needs replacing. Beginning to like the old truck more and more, keep it coming. Thanks

Great video

If im right in thinking you live in my home town. I would love to spend the day helping work on one of your cars!! Keep up the great content scott 👌

Have you been surprised by the interest in the truck project? This is a car people feel more accessible. I've enjoyed the truck content. Seeing something coming to life and become an enjoyable and useful machine that you enjoy using is quite satisfying.

Great video as always defo do the front aswell it will make a good video

I would go for the fronts too. It will make the truck handle so much better

Yes most definitely should do the front!

Starting to look good. bargain 👍 yip do the front as well 👏

You definitely got to change the struts in the front I wouldn't bother with the springs but definitely the struts I just did mine on my pathfinder and it made a world of difference

Great video as always! Love the patio furniture! Where did you get that?

very good upload, theres a very good cheap upgrade for the Nissan Navara you could also do, you can get rear plastic arch liners and thats what the Navara needs its the crucial thing Nissan left out and they preserve the chassis very well, they can be purchased of E-Bay i think or search west yorkshire engines they sell them

Definitely have to do the front!.Add a rear sway bar too..

you have the tools and the talent so I think you should replace the front end too. love the videos

Yes do the front because if it works then I'll do it on mine, I too had chassis rotting. My mot was terminated half way through due to massive holes in the chassis so I ordered one from up north & the back end was welded up & it flew through the mot but I'd never buy another one. Rob

Depends how you think it feels I suppose. Every td and harry will have their opinion but you are the one who has to drive it. I'd jump on that squeaky dash first personally, nothing more annoying! Very enjoyable series btw:)

Yeah I think you should do the front as well, especially if you can get them for another steal like the rears!

Please do change the front suspension as well, well worth it at that mileage :)

Change the front only if you have time, nothing else to do and youtube money are going to pay for it ;) And yeah, I wrote the comment only because YT algoritm ;)

Another yes for the front.

No, don’t change the front suspension unless the ride is bad,making noise etc. The front struts aftermarket usually Suck, unless you dole out more than a couple of bucks. Continue with your progress and the other bits.

I would have thought so

Hi mate, the best thing to protect the chassi from the inside is to use a lot of cavity wax, i grow up in a body repair shop and we use that in all the car cavities, from doors to chassi, is like a soft grease that adheres to the surfaces creating a oxigen proof layer stoping and preventing any rust and is totaly water proof of course.

I would just wait until you see/feel a problem with the front. Keep to the budget!

I own a Nissan Frontier and I had no idea the chassis had a rust and breakage dilemma. Thanks for the video!

I don't think Frontiers built in the US had the same problem. I think it was only Navaras built in Spain. The Navaras built in Thailand seem to also be unaffected. I am guessing they source the frames from a manufacturer close to the assembly plant to minimize freight costs so US trucks probably have US sourced frames, Spanish trucks probably get from from Europe, and Thai built trucks get their frames some Asia somewhere. I also own a Frontier, btw.

Oh man,,, I bought a Nissan Navara Outlaw brand new back in 2002,,, what a piece of kit,, Awesome machine,, owned it for 3 faultless years,, £20k including Vat,, It was lethal on back end,, especially on roundabouts,, even slight boot on throttle it stepped out... Great video 🚗💸🚗💸🚗

As a mechanic, yes, change the front suspension too. It's a diesel, the body will fail before the engine. The only other issue would be brakes. Looks like a decent truck. Spend it and theres not reason why that shouldn't last 10 years.

Braded brake hoses are a good idea if you can as well, I put them on my P38 Range Rover and it made a huge difference.

Yes to question at the end

Front next

Front shocks and coils should be fine, I just check bushes as they are a cheap easy swap that make a huge difference.

Just subscribed And have to say,I have really enjoyed catching up on your videos👍 Are the access holes in the frame rails the reason they like to rust from the inside out? If so can you get rubber bungs to seal the holes,and drill a couple of drain holes (with bungs you can remove ) in the underneath at the lowest point to drain any water,once a month.

bro nice video

Lovely, how everything turned out to be. Then that references on the prices compare to ferraris lol

yes you should replace the front never mind the budget safty first

Yep get it done. 😀👍🏻

For the front end, just renew the tie rod ends and sway bar bushes, possibly the shocks too.

Arrrrgh! Sound normalisation, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1AM, and just woke the neighbours up with the music @15:28

Yes! Do the fronts, too! For your daughters sake!

Yes, squeaks and rattles are a beating, but the only time I have ever pulled a dash I swore that once was certainly my limit, that job is the one that ruins the enjoyment of piddling w/ the truck making it no longer enjoyable.

Hey, sorry about this. Suggest you jack up the car, loosen the bolts and then lower the car onto the ground and then tighten and torque. Suspension bushings should only ever get torqued on level ground under load. You're risking squeaking noises and much faster than expected wear out of the bushes otherwise.

I’d change out the front as well. Looking at the state of the rear chances are they are going to be worn. The budgets got to go up. As you’ve still got to add a big pair of KC Daylighters up front (get the KC dust covers as per BTTF and Goonies). And due to the current zombie apocalypse how about a electric front winch 😉👍.

Surprised to see drums on the back of the navara. Thought about disc brake up grade. Enjoying your videos, keep safe.

2005+ Frontiers come with rear discs in the US. Both on the C200k and M226 axles. I don't know everything that is different, but I would think at least master cylinder, proportioning valve and obviously the rear brakes. ABS could also be different. Different calibration perhaps because of the different in the brake hardware.

Make it the ultimate daily driver! So yes, please do whatever it takes to keep it running mint forever.

I wouldn’t bother doing front suspension, however I would check all bushes etc and replace if needed, and also replace shockers only if leaking, would also recommend hammeriting the whole chassis just to tidy it all up

thanks for the information. we also face to this rust issues of navaras in Sri Lanka

Yep, do the front. I really don't mind how much you spend.... I feel no pain when your credit card bill arrives! Great content by the way!

Hello yes front suspension next ,with that mileage, and the way the truck was treated , and the weight of the front end, then it's a yes from me . Sorry I'm spending your money here . Keep up the fantastic content. All the best .

Definitely do the front suspension as well it will feel like a different truck afterwards

Yep, do the front. I just did all the front bushings on my 157k miles Cayenne - big improvement to handling and noise reduction.

A step at a time. Change the shocks and see how she rides and leave some money for the brake pads, hoses. You can sell off the used leave springs for a few quid if they are not completely shot.

Replace your front balljoints, bushes, sway bar links and you will have a basically brand new truck :)

Yeah do the front bud, you won't regret it. 👍

I would say replace the bushings and links in the front only. If the shocks aren’t leaking than leave them alone.

When i had mine I changed all the suspension front and rear

i use dinitrol for all my chassis injection, you can buy the flexi spray pipe, the tip sprays a pattern to get into all areas, both my cosworth's that i injected are still rust free, also when i bought a new mk6 transit, i injected that and it never fails on rust to this day, there are blister and scabs, but thats where there's no treatment, my then new (05) nissan d40 was one of the best and worst trucks i bought, despite all its fault i really liked it, sadly rolled over in minus 15 degrees swerving an oncoming horse,

Do the front blow the budget by just over £200 then the car is safe

All Wright sausage check the bottom ball joints may slight bit of lift in the joint the bushes in that shockers tend to wear as well as the anti roll bar bushes. In a note the front arms of replaced you will need to have the camber and tracking aligned after due to eccentric nuts and bolts
