10927, A tribute to the 98 GS
Posted by Pitchblack98, Jun-16-06 07:35 AM
Well there comes a time in every mans life when he must part with the things he most treasures in life...

I traded in the eclipse for a 2004 Nissan Frontier 4x4 Offroad. I started hanging out with some of my offroading friends and the bug bite me. It was hard to strip down the GS to take it back to the dealership. Everytime I look at it it no longer has that familur smile it used to have. It will be completly gone this coming Monday. Thats the last day I have to swap the aftermarket part for stock.

Pic of the new vehicle to come this weekend. We are going offroading on either saturday or sunday and Ill post some pics when we get back...


RIP...

Yes, and it's so big you have to swat it with a baseball bat. Good luck with the new hobby, you've chosen something that'll snap an axle a lot quicker than this hobby :P

BTW: Make sure to keep it clean when you go up those trails, you know the old saw; Pack it in, Pack it out!

goin 4x4 in such a new expensive truck? Oh my fucking god man you could have picked up an old Toyota tacoma, suspension lifted it for like $300, put on some 34s and had a way more capable offroader that is way less expensive to take care of when you screw up and damage shit

Yes it's called buying an older Jeep and not selling a DSM.

Well I guess if you could mount the Eclipse frame onto the 4x4 tacoma then it's be a perfect world? :P
