Filthy Luker Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Goddamn Nissan and their crappy frames. 13 years of vehicle abuse took it's tool and my frame took a turn for the worse recently. With the help of master Raff we utilized our ninja like fabricating skills to fix the issue. Passenger side: Driver side: Master Raff knows how to make them "C"s purrrdy! LOL chuck of mud from inside the frame. Check out the different coloured layers that accumulated over various runs. Yay... the white Lowrider is ready to hit the trails again!

GrimGreg Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I had about 10pounds of rusted metal piled up after I cleaned mine up. I was using all kinds of things to get all the pieces out of the inside; shop vac, magnet, hose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgranch Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 What guage plate did you use? I assume looking at the pics that the frame was only rotted thru on the outside of the rail?. Did you just hammer the bend into the replacement plate? Was the spring pocket in the one pic also in trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 I used a 4x2.5" 3/16 plate that was bent for me at a local steel shop. Only the outside of the frame was in trouble at this time, so we just did the bottom and sides. Later on i'll raise the body of the frame a bit, drop the tank and fix up the surrounding areas as well. The spring packet is perfectly fine as is the other side of the frame, but still when I can park the truck for a week i'll attend to it (scrape the surface rust off and rockguard the bejesus out of it).

nige Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 how does the body look underneath the rear seats? i just discovered a hole in mine Eventually, I think i'll be doing the same to my frame. When I stick my finger in the holes and feel the inside of the frame rail, pieces just flake off into a pile inside the rail. There's quite a bit of dried mud in there too. I was always wondering what would happen if I drilled some 'drain holes' in the bottom of the frame rail, but never gathered the balls to actually do it-- it is my daily driver, after all. Ain't that onterrible road salt a beautiful thang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
