[WIP] 1998 Nissan Frontier Minitruck - LEAF 40kwh

Very tidy install and great re-use factor!
Are you using the stock battery-to-drivestack cable as well?

Thanks! I am currently extending the battery-to-drivestack cable as we speak. It needs to be extended approximately 42 inches.

Got the wires extended and powered up the truck again. Everything works and the battery is happy too. Time to turn attention to the interior and get it buttoned back up.

Just a few small updates. Dave got the bumper finished up. Blocked off the grill and LED driving lights installed. Then he painted the whole thing in rubberized texture (it's upside down in picture). He also installed new headlights with LED bulbs and turn signals. Lastly, got the DNR buttons put in the dash.

Some more updates. Everything is starting to come together! Dave is beside himself, he's so excited about how it's looking. He ordered some wheels and tires yesterday; some cool looking 16" wheels with low rolling resistance tires.

Got the front end together. Dave did an awesome job making the flip-up charge port doors. One on the right for J1772 and the one on the left will be for Chademo (Chademo not installed yet).

The Nissan badge comes from the '19 LEAF and it lights up when the truck is on and also when it is charging

Wired the LED driving lights to come on with the high beams:
