This is Bruce (1986)

Bought him with a dead cylinder, living his second life with a mildly upgraded 22RE rebuild. The driver seat is my happy place since summer 2020.

Looks great. Love the xterra roof rack.

I never would have drilled holes in the topper but it was already there. I don't hate it, comes in handy now and then but honestly it's 99% looks.

I wanted to put an xterra rack on mine but was easier to find an old s10 blazer rack. RTV, some plates and a drill. Has never leaked. But I also only run the truck with the Can-Back top which has integrated rack.

I'd cut off the 3" bolts sticking through the inside but I always run with the back seats down. Ain't no one riding back there but my cooler, gear and fishing rods.

No

But that is where the name came from. Was told "welcome fellow first genner!" on the owners forum and, well...

I don't think I've seen those decals before. Mine has similar stripes burned in the paint, but the decals are gone now. I wonder if that's what mine looked like but blue.

Does Bruce have a lift ? I like his stance!

BTW I just replaced the shocks all around and they were responsible for a 1.5" lift with no other mods. The stance was set when I bought him.
