  1. Cool guys thats just what I needed. It's like the old chevy pickups had but you couldn't open the chevys to regrease them.

    I see you have vinyl mat instead of carpet in your truck. Did you change it or did some come factory with a mat?

    It's not a vinyl mat. My entire interior is factory vinyl. Seats and floor.

  2. Out of curiosity how much did you have to cut and how did you cut it?

     

    I cut roughly 3 inches in the front, and then rolled the lip in. It goes up to the body line. The rear I cut it out as far is it would go into the inner wheel well, and rolled the lip in also. Be careful with the rear because there are 3 layers of sheet metal there, and when you cut it they come apart and are a pain in the ass to roll all 3 of them together. As far as cutting them I used my air cut off wheel, and sawzall. I rolled them in with a pipe wrench, and finished off the lip with a hammer.

     

     

     

    Cool!! What IFS mods do you have to go along with those 35's?? You haven't regeared, have you?? How does the motor handle those??

    It has rough country upper control arms, Jeep grand cherokee coils in the rear, cranked torsion bars, rough country shocks, and stock 4.6 gears. The only time I notice any power loss is in 5th gear. The 2.4 doesn't have much power to begin with. the 4.6's help.

  3. I'm not much for the newer ones, but I've owned a couple of the older 80's 2 door monteros and raiders. Those ones are awesome. They even have a spring loaded suspension under the driver seat. Similar to an air ride seat in a semi. I'm trying to pick up another one from a guy on craigslist at the moment.

  4. If you want to stay Nissan. Then find yourself a SD33, or a SD33T. If you are not stuck on Nissan, then find a Cummins 4BT. The 4BT is the engine I want to put into mine when I get around to putting a new power plant in. My little Z24 just isn't enough.
