hacked521 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 this is the only pic i have of it can he turn still?, steering clearance on the tires seem to be very little. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 here is that truck, he is from Idaho. I am pretty sure he is on this site somewhere, with pics of the set up. I know the truck drives I have seen it, but i cant tell you a thing about the set up or anything sorry... Quote Link to comment

Wide14u Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 are you going to put 18 on yours Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah im actually on 6 spoke titans Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 look at his notches he had to tilt them in his rim would hit on the side to side Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Im not planning on doing side to sides. Im building mine to ride low and ride like a stock truck and last. That's why im running all my end links with bushings instead of heims. Yeah heims will give me more articulation but they ride harsh, are loud, and don't absorb any of the road. I have a little different direction for my truck. Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 i was just trying to keep you from making a mistake and have to fix it Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 oh no i appreciate it. :) I dont think i will have a issue on account im not gonna be hittin side to sides. If i run into a issue i will just pie put my notches and tip them in a little. :D thanks a bunch Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 i think his hit going into a drive way Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 he had to go with the 521 rear end so the tires wouldn't hit the side of the bed Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 hmm i assumed with some fender rolling and maybe a little pull i wouldnt have a problem tucking the titans. I guess we will see. I haven't heard of anyone else having issues with clearance on their statics on titans. hmm i may have to look into this. or after taxes once i get rubber on my titans i will just see if my bed fits over them.

Siqx20 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sometimes u come accross a set of pictures or a video that inspires you. I love this 521. just kinda stumbled across the video one day. and every now and then i go back and check it out to get the motivation flowing. I thought i would share. I have looked for more info on this truck with no success. the user has alot of videos but this is the only one where this truck makes a appearance. SO to whoever out there build this, kudos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7pWwByO5wU Quote Link to comment
collision and customs Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 hmm i assumed with some fender rolling and maybe a little pull i wouldnt have a problem tucking the titans. I guess we will see. I haven't heard of anyone else having issues with clearance on their statics on titans. hmm i may have to look into this. or after taxes once i get rubber on my titans i will just see if my bed fits over them. The bed does fit over them. The front is where all the problems come from. The fenders need to be rolled and inner fenders need to be tubbed from the battey tray down to the rocker if you drive it around as low as mine is. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 any pics? I was planning on redoing all my front inner fenders anywho. Thats if i decide to run them. havent decided that either. its mostly gonna be a summer driver i think so no worries on water. I think i might have to cut into the fire wall some to still be able to turn while riding low. All things i will figure out once i start working on it i guess. I have to source the parts to go to hardbody drop spindles so thats why im not worrying about it to much. gotta finish the rear end first and put my cab back on so i can see where i m gonna run into clearance issues Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 So the bimmer is just about gone. waiting for my dad to come by with the remaining $1,500 I was gonna buy a new DD but now im thinking i will just use the money to get the truck done on the double. Plus i have taxes coming here soon. More then enough to get the datsun done.... I just cant decide what to do..... I have my girlfriends car and we live together and thats the main vehicle we use anyways. so i have 2 options and i just cant decide so im gonna let u guys do it instead A ) Dont buy a DD and be a little inconvenienced but get the truck done a whole hell of a lot faster B ) Buy a DD and the truck stays on the back burner as far as funds go and it gets done.... someday?

Siqx20 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Keeping in mind this will prolly be without a bed or a body drop. I will do that once back from canby :P In all honesty it prolly won't happen. But doesn't hurt to dream lol Quote Link to comment
