]2eDeYe Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 New page needs a pic. This one is from a weekend or two ago when I started the KA swap in the Beercan. Just in case you haven't met the Beercan... 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Got to play in the woods last weekend, felt great to be out in the woods. Truck did great other than needing a new battery cable (too small) and heating up a bit on the super long steep climbs. Needs some more cooling for those situations. 3 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted January 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 This thing is coming inside for some work On the list is a head gasket replacement. I happened to just wrap up getting this head prepped for Beercan, but will save tome using it on Green. Had a small issue before I get started though. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) why would the valves get bent by just starting the motor? Unless somebody totally timed the motor wrong when putting the chain in my 521 has been up that road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant believe the shop did take that plug out? Was this Autopsort that did the work? Price???? I had one head once the threads widen ed out out on one cylinder it would always back off after awhile and had to always screw it back in Edited January 15, 2021 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 There at the last photo, you are running the wagoneer front axle? What are the specs of the wheels/tires/offset, if you recall that you are running? Going wagoneer axles front and rear on my quad cab build is one of the suspension options I'm considering, but I want to avoid massive poke of the tires. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Which photo? lol The Wagoneer 44 axle is 62” WMS to WMS The wheels I run are 15 x 8 standard toyota/chevy offset. Can measure my other set tomorrow. Edit. The last pic in the video is just before cutting off the dana 30 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 You will want a better offset to keep the wheels in, maybe some factory Nissan wheels Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 You know a good source for titan steelies? Wrecking yard? I asked my local and they wanted a lot. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Local Nissan dealer? How much was the yard asking? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 150-200 per wheel. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 for steelies? are they insane? Quote Link to comment

Not bad.. was hoping I could scrounge up a set at the yard for pennies though. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 keep an eye on marketplace and offerup got my last set of titans on offerup. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks for the quick response. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I love me some dish on rims, but since that just makes the truck wider.... Modern Chevy 6 lug all have pretty high offset, but i would rather stick to 16" or 15" inch rims for this build. Who knows. This is all theoretical nonsense until I actually start on the chassis side, and thats gonna be a while yet. I've long enjoyed this thread. Cool to see the history of the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
