]2eDeYe Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Stupid. I'm assuming now that we switched to the "new" Ratsun, I can't go back and edit posts in this thread now (the early ones) like I had planned. I was going to put all this in post #2, I had reserved. I was able to edit your second post and can add stuff if your not able too. I will see if this is something we can fix. If you want to PM me, we can discuss updating your earlier posts with whatever you like til then. Love the truck :cool: Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 So are those leafs going to work with no mods.And if so its a 3" drop and then i can 2"blocks to come down 5 total.Right now i am at 4"s down on the rear. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 ^^^^^ How close to the frame is the axle now with the 3" blocks? 4" blocks? ^^^^^ Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I would have to measure,also with the 18" wheels in the back that is what allowed me to even go with 4" blocks otherwise with the wheels i rub the shock or spring plate would go in to the tire. Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm missing the back lower bushings...I need to pull a shackle and measure the diameter so I can order a universal bushing. Maybe Sunday. Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Working on a few things to make the L-Series a little more "cool". Not bling bling, but technology. It has started. My engine bay is all original though. I gots the break fluid patina down to the minor surface rust to areas with purfect paint. I started to compound the paint and it looks really good. I've been thinking about buffing all the existing paint, cleaning the patina up a bit and leaving it for that beat down, shiny, rustic look kind of cool look. Or spraying the bay....but then the engine comes out....and then there goes the $$$. What you guys think. I need a plan for the bay. P.S. My guage solution is tight as f***. When it's installed (making modifications), I'll shoot a teaser. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 i see what you're saying, but since your exterior is sooo nice and clean the engine bay might clash. but i'd have to see in in person to make a final answer. Quote Link to comment
