Lots of routine maintenance things: Had to replace spark plugs, fuel filter, brake pads.
Also had some electrical problems, but nothing major, just issues with the combination switch (lights, turn signals) but it was cheap to replace.
This is an amazingly reliable and well built machine. It will take a HUGE beating and still run, and is easy to fix with just minor knowledge of auto repair.
The suspension is really hard, so it's a bumpy ride, but a hard suspension means that this truck can handle potholes and bumpy roads at higher speeds without sustaining damage.
Over all, a great and very reliable car (I beat the hell out of mine with long distance driving and off-roading and I haven't had anything break yet).
I just wish it was a little bit faster though, it came without a tachometer and the engine starts to get REALLY loud at around 75mph, so I have been hesitant to take it much faster than that without knowing my RPMs.
The engines used in these trucks are the same as the 240sx which is often used as a ricer/racer. They are very hardy engines. The fastest I got my truck up to on a hill was 90-95 mph. I'm not entirely sure which because I was more concerned about driving than how fast I was going. The Amazing thing is that it took the highway really well and wasn't bouncy or uncontrollable at those speeds. The engine was roaring a bit, but it handeled it well. I wouldn't recommend driving at these speed frequently but it is cool to know that you can do it. And on another note the truck could have gone faster than 95 if I let it, but I thought it would be unsafe. :D.
