willz Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Started tearing the rear and down again to flip the axle didn't realize that I'll need to get a new brake line so it goes all the way over to the other side of the truck. I also managed to convince my girlfriend that I need to spend $3000 on a 4BT Cummins motor...... Eventually. Since I'm part of the union we have a contract with the company and right now are in negotiations so they recommend not making any large purchases. Pics of the rear end coming soon 1 Quote Link to comment

I told her it can pull our boat and it's a diesel, she digs that shit I might have told her it would raise the resale value a lot more than it probably would ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
willz Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Well I told her that if I had built a motor for it I would have been probably more than that, pistons rods turbo tuning etc. she's under the impression this is cheaper. Plus I decided not to spend $25,000 on a newer deisel truck hahaha 2 Quote Link to comment
Omelet720 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'm very interested to see if you can keep it low with the 31's. I've been trying to find a 25"-26" tire with that kind of tread so I can stay low(ish) and run on gravel :sneaky: You could keep it datsun and go turbo diesel to pull that boat....I'll just leave this here...

willz Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Where might one find an LD20..... Moar oics Quote Link to comment
willz Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 My front axles are down as far as they can go without touching the torsion bars. Not sure how much it'll raise it by cranking on them. The front tire ain't bolted on because it won't fit.... Needs moar hi Quote Link to comment
willz Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm having a hard time taking the sd22 seriously, it is one of my better options keeping in the datto family but they seem to be big hunks of junk. What are my best options? 4bt cummins still is sitting in my #1 spot unless I can find an LD20 Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 4bt for sure I wanna see it happen! Quote Link to comment
willz Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Well I'm just about out of room on the torsion bars unless I pull them out and reindex them And some pictures I snapped today after finally getting one of the front tires to mount on the hub Quote Link to comment

mikeanike99 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looks like you modified the front fenders. What did you do? Quote Link to comment
willz Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 The tires may have moved those corners in a little.... Aka I bent them so I could mount the wheels on the hubs Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Nice! Quote Link to comment
Omelet720 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 What about making the fenders and the bed sides wider so you can get stay low? Quote Link to comment
Omelet720 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 So... There's apparently a diesel version of the RB series.. RD28T Difficult, but not impossible to swap in. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_RD_engine 1 Quote Link to comment
