If one's smart enough not to mix up the levers...

I still think Nissan really dropped the ball by not making rear discs... With two-channel rear ABS. Bah!

Again, I stand corrected... Damn you, Alex!!

Any word on that company down under, Lokka? I was wondering if anyone knows the values of BAT and just how good this item really is.

Mine's just a low-pitched mechanincal hum... As far as I know that's normal...?

I'm pretty sure the brakes received an upgrade from '01-up... More stopping power required for the VQ.

What's the nature of the noise?

That's badass indeed! *adds one more task to R50 to-do list*

X2 In fact, I was able to put on lock-washers as well as washers just to make 'em nice and tight. So far these hubs have been pure gems!

Yay for sure! If you plan on wheeling your rig, bedliner paint is a no-brainer to me. Interior is a good idea; just remember what other mods you'll need to do to make it effective, i.e. removing upholstery/fabric, seat mods, seatbelt parts, etc. Be sure to post pics if you go through with this!

X2...

Well I found a company called Durabak (which my gf's bro used on his Zuk and her other bro used on his Zuk long-body) so I'm considering that. They produce bedliner body paint in both textured or smooth and have a wide variety of colours. The only issue is they won't ship direct to Canada...

That could be the issue. With the lift installed, I don't think factory specs come into consideration. With the wear, it sounds like your camber is messed up. I'd take your rig to another shop.

So the plan is 3 light coats using a 1/4" spray nozzle. Now I just gotta find the paint...

Typical stealership douchenozzleage! A pox on them! But good stuff on getting the # You'll be able to find it online for a better price.

LOL This forum wouldn't the same without said mind-numbing dribble... The relevant information is there; the irrelevant stuff is what makes it fun!

It isn't that a suspension lift gives you any "problems" per se; your CV axles just take a serious beating because their angles increase (therefore the boots are prone to tearing). A suspenion lift for a R50 is actually a great improvement, at least in my opinion. I find my truck handles better, rides smoother and just feels all-around nicer than the OEM set-up. If you ever install a suspenion lift, you'll definitely want to consider manual locking hubs. These will disengage your CV axles when in 2WD, putting considerably less stress on the front drivetrain. I'd also recommend beefing up your CV axles (AC makes a nice set and they work great). With the R50 being a unibody, a body lift isn't possible. Read up on the subframe-drop threads in this section. It's chock full of useful information on how a SFD works.

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, it's best to avoid any serious injury. Just make sure it heals up nice and good.

LOL, I dunno if I need to get that crazy with the bedliner paint... I was thinking a two coats should be sufficient. My gf's bro did that with his Zuk Samurai and the thing's just pristine despite how much he beats on it.

Yup, V's got it there. I've got the Exide Orbital, and it rocks! Wasn't cheap but I'm glad to have it.

That's really helpful! Visual aids are always good.

Badass indeed! As long as it isn't the sh*t that stings and burns. Especially on a wound that big, iodine or hydrogen peroxide would feel like acid...

I doubt it'll add a couple hundred pounds. And besides, it's a 4x4...

Ding ding ding! I will still provide visual aids though!
