The same thing is happening to my 2001 GU. Was going to take it to the panel beaters to get their opinion about cause and repair. The truck is a few months out of warranty and don't think the dealers would want to know me. Suprised this has happened as we have not dne a lot of rough road travel, although it does get a bit of offroad use. Would be interested to hear how youy get on with the dealers. Good luck.

Another good carry over from the GQ, the cracking rear doors, along with the chassis in the front near the spring towers,a nd the body mounts, and rear spring towers.

I Had this similar crack on the centre pillar at base of glass on this door, Nissan had it repaired no problems under warranty.
