A pet duck is crazy. What a legend. Sorry my question was worded poorly, but you also kind of answered my question in your response. I was curious if you had ever thought about any form of forced induction, or god forbid an engine swap of some kind.

This is going to be the craziest r50 ever built. Have you ever thought about power train upgrades?

Sure, pal!
I'm waiting for my D2S bulbs. I am tempted to take them off my other car but I'm sure Mr monkey-hands will damage them. Wiring is all done and this has been by far the easiest retrofit I've done. No wire stripping, no drilling or dremeling and the shrouds are like tailor made for the reflector bowl. The only problem has been finding where to mount the ballasts, but mostly because I want them hidden. I don't like the blacked out headlight look so I'll try to avoid painting the reflector bowl unless I see stray reflections that could cause glare. Once I get the bulbs and make sure the cutoff is straight, I will post some pics.
Please do, some pictures or a writeup on this would be incredible. Are you planning on swapping to an SE grill?

Couldn't stand my stock headlights any longer. In the middle of retrofitting Morimoto D2S 5.0 HID projectors:
Dude, your paint is so clean. Let us know how the process goes, I could see myself doing this mod.

Got my lift on not long ago, AC coils in the front on KYB struts and nrc9447's in the rear. I love it so far, and the load carrying capacity has been awesome! Hoping to get some bigger tires soon. I also replaced the headlights and fog lights with led bulbs.

Hauling my 02 shell with a blown engine from cali to AZ. The pilot didnt like it too much but survived.
Next to stock after i finished the first part of the build with a fresh JDM 3.5, new suspension and lift.
Maiden voyage shakedown run doing what it was built for
Found some mud in the desert this spring
Went through some fairly rough stuff to get a nice pic at lake havasu
Latest addition, halfway through a coastal offroads bumper, adding the swingout gate soon
Awesome build! How was swapping in a new 3.5? Kinda scared about mine kicking the bucket soon...

First post of my truck on here, I love taking the dirt roads whenever I can.

I would love to know the answer for this as well, and whether or not the face lift SE rack could hold one as well. I have been seriously considering modifying an SE rack to put on to my 2001 r50, because I feel like it could be reinforced to hold an RTT, but that's just my hypothesis.

Not sure where to post this, but I have a couple questions about the build I am saving up for.
about a year and a half ago I replaced the rear trailing arms and with that, installed new oem spec shocks. I am looking at land rover 9447 springs, which from my research will yield about 2" of lift, and increase load capacity a good bit (please correct me if I am wrong). Would I also need to replace the shocks with this? I am not doing a ton of heavy wheeling, just some stuff every once in a while and also to have a cool truck to park in the lot at school lmao. Also looking at ac 2" lift coils in the front, do I need any specific strut for that? Or can I get an oem spec replacement strut? Also going to grab some manual hubs as well. Please hit me up with any suggestions and or advice, I am a high school student serving tables to save up for this. I have been so inspired by the builds on here for too long I need to get a piece of it myself haha.

Spent the morning at a friend’s winery.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWhat is the roof rack setup used here as well? It is super clean! Will it work if my '01 LE has a sunroof?

Is anyone familiar with how this roof rack is set up? Would it have issues with a sun roof? Also would it be safe to stand on? Looking for something similar for my pathy.

I replaced my entire front suspension. Also replaced both axels. I didn’t replace wheel bearings. I replaced inner and outer tie rods, swaybar bushings and links as well. Anything that had to do with the suspension I replaced.
good to know, thank you!

Let me know if this stifles the leak, I also have a minor oil leak somewhere in my engine bay and may try this as a fix. Good luck!

Thank you. I’ve enjoyed every minute with her. A lot of elbow grease, time and money, but she’s been well worth it.
I'm curious, my pathfinder has a similar amount of miles, have you replaced the wheel bearings and control arm bushings? I have replaced my trailing arms, shocks, and upper control arms (I believe, again I am new to this) in the rear, but I am starting to grow conscious of the fact that it may be time to do all of that stuff to the front suspension.

Does anyone know what kind of bullbar this is? This is pretty much exactly what I am looking for to use in my build.

For those of you who have iPhones, how do y'all convert pictures from your camera roll to post on the forum? I have always had to downsize my images to be able to clear the max file size. TIA!
