You have to change the arm if you use the non-powered box.

Yeah, I called shops here and got an average of $800 for the job....that was in 2001. Half the places wouldn't even touch a V engine with a belt .

No issues with a BL on a auto, actually easier than a manual. As for your humorous rust advise, it works for surfase rust, but if you don't put something on before painting, it will come right back. Also, when our frames go, it isn't surface rust and it is usually from the inside out. You are lucky to have an older model, they had better steel in the frames than newer ones. My 88 still has a solid original frame even after years of it being in Cleveland (tons of salt on the road in winter), my 93 is swiss cheese that has been patched in multiple places, but it was here in Columbus (stil salted, but a lot less). Most people who have rust issues are far beyond any wire wheel help. BTW, what part of Nor Cal? I spent a few years in the Eureka area.

All this for North America, not to up on the rest of the world markets: The major things I would do is to utilize the UD division in making a HD Titan. Eliminate the Altima and Altima coupe and make a Maxima coupe, and a sedan based on the Versa platform. Going back to your article, I would follow Jeep's lead in the Rubicon, and build "real" offroad versions of the Xterra and Frontier utilizing H260 axles (F&R) with factory lockers and steel bumpers,etc. I would also bring back the Datsun name and migrate the Cube to it, then make 2 other Versa based models like a 2 door hatchback and dumbed down version of the sedan I mentioned above to go against Scions. In addition I would bring back a "mini" truck and SUV on the Datsun label.

Same construction, cheaper materials.

I've know people who ran 33x12.5 just fine on the stock chrome wheels.

Need to get her on catbook, silly human!

It is getting harder to find 15s, but they are still around. Until they stop making them completely, I'm sticking 15. Remember a 31" on a 15 is the same size outside as a 31" on a 16, just 1" less sidewall and 1" more wheel.

Hardbody hood

Rear looks saggy...or front is over cranked. Did you upgrade the steering also?

All mine have to be personal in some way, otherwise I would be a walking billboard of band and other BS tattoos. I love being tatted, but I have to have something meaningful for me to have it etched in my flesh.

Read the first post on page 8!!!

Looking at the picture, they look like the OE hubs, inside and out.

There is a guy around here with a supercharger on his Caravan, . I stick by the fact that there is nothing that can be done to a mini-van to ever make it cool. There is plenty that can be done to a full size, real deal, van to make them cool. Anything done to a mini-van is just a joke in my book.

My apologies to TheCrow for no gift arriving. I ordered through a third party on Amazon, Texsign (remember the name and don't buy from them). Last week I sent the seller an e-mail inquiry and have yet to get a response, so today I filed a claim against the seller through Amazon.

Any truck is better than any low slung, @!*% box car in the snow. Just throw a couple sand bags in the bed and there is no issue with it being "too light". If she wants something with a warranty, maybe look at a used 2nd gen.

Or just go with the 4bt engine and matching tranny and bolt a Dana 300 to it. You can clock a 300, and even do a complete flip on it (a bit more work), but you can get adapters for the 300 to fit almost anything domestic.

Yet still a minivan, no making that "cool", no matter what!

Yep, which probably made bolting a VG in there fairly simple.

Max found us, he is the most well behaved stray I ever met!

I think you could order one from the states and still pay half that.

Just leave it alone and switch to an electric fan .

Yep, 3 wires, no black.

Well, keeping the original e-mail that states the intended use would be key. If used other than for stated intended purposes could make them liable.
