metalmonkey47 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Glad to see you're bringing her back to life man! Looks like it's gonna be better the second time around. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hell yeah, man! Glad you're still alive and kicking and plugging along with the toys! Hit me up sometime and let me come wrench with you!! I just finished swapping grills and wheels on the wagon so it can get sent away to Texas, and it reminded me of how much I miss it even though it's not gone yet!! Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 This will be a great build to watch. Like the idea of coil overs instead of air bags. Bags = to much plumbing for me. Quote Link to comment

Now you can do all the things you wished you'd done on the last one! just curious, how much did the QA1's set you back? Hopefully that was insurance moneys!! :) The fronts with springs were $400 and the rears with all hardware to mount was $450 60 not too bad for hopefuly a nice ride. Can't wait to have it sitting on the coils and 4-link once I get there its not far long. I just want it all to look showroom ready. Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 with a 4link and coils, this thing will rival Bob's MX520 for sure!! can't wait! TOUGE BATTOUUUUUuuuuuu!!! Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Got the 4-link almost in just need to weld the lower arms up and then figure how to run the coilovers,once all the welding is done I'm going to blast it so the welds look nice and blended. Will put pics up later. Quote Link to comment

WagDatto Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Ricardo! If you're ever tooling around late on a weekend or on a Monday or Tuesday, hit me up! I'll come help you out! Quote Link to comment
1g_talon Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I had that same pedal set-up on my 620. My factory clutch master bolted right up to it. Then I hung it from the dash bar of my cage. Getting around the colum is a PITA too. Looks great though, keep the pics coming. Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Sorry to hear about your other truck! But like you said, this truck will be 10X's better. Since I moved from Sac last August, I hope to hook up with you Datsun heads when I move back! Looks like you've made considerable progress. :D Quote Link to comment
corner worker Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 whats your plans for brakes? you mentioned discs, but what are you going with? Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 whats your plans for brakes? you mentioned discs, but what are you going with? Brakes are Wilwood brake and clutch pedals reverse mount,with compact masters to all SS braided lines. Front calipers I got are 4x4 D21's with drilled and slotted rotors. Rear will be disc's as well with drilled rotors. I called Wilwood to see if they had some calipers but nothing. I'll post pic's when my rotors get here of it all. I also got the cab off on Sat, had to order some brackets for the front coilovers so I can't start them yet. If anyone is free or wants to stop by I'm there welding or wrenching feel free to swing by. Ricardo 916-381-8635 Quote Link to comment
corner worker Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 i would love to stop by, but im about 3000mi away lol. So I guess you are sticking with 6 lug then? Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Got some 18in Titan 5 spoke wheels for my 520, they have some 33in mud tires on them now I think I might build my truck for hill climbing. Started mocking the motor in today,soon as that's done will start the front coils. The rear brakes are a pain to put on how the F do you remove the dust shields? The same with the fronts nothing but problems with the brackets and calipers its all driving me crazy. Will post pics soon to show all of the Madness! Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 The links and coilovers in the rear are sweet. What weight did u choose for the springs? Does the stock gas tank not fit with that link setup? -B Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 The links and coilovers in the rear are sweet. What weight did u choose for the springs? Does the stock gas tank not fit with that link setup? -B The fronts are 450lbs and the rear are 130/250lbs. The gas tank is gone will hit the upper 4-link so going with a 10gal fuel cell mounted in the rear frame rails,I'm going to move the stock gas cover in the bed to were the fuel cell fill will be so I can fill it up.
