If they are all missing you do, it's kinda a pain but if you want them there you do, and anyone that quoted you, them quote photos are gone forever, you have to really be careful and realize that when you make any changes to your photo hosting accounts, the links are lost and cannot be fixed that I know of.

denmarkboy Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ok Ratsun brothers , I need some advice. First let's start with what I am doin : Now that I got it all torn down , disc brakes ! All the way around , new exhaust( headers back) . I am moving all the wiring from the engine bay, solid bed cover,trunk , changing the rear end lowering back a couple inches, Ok so advice I need : I want the truck to be 5 lug( no adapter) anybody done this? It would be nice to use a rearend set up for disc already. I don't know that I want to keep the square headlight set up , opinions ? Ideas ? And the biggy ! I am considering taking off all the flares ,spoiler, I ve always built ground huggers,( its a life style gotta dig it ) and was never really was into all the f-glass. Opinions ? Advice ? 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ok so advice I need : I want the truck to be 5 lug( no adapter) anybody done this? It would be nice to use a rearend set up for disc already. well the 5 lug swap should be pretty easy. the way i would do it would be to start with a balljoint conversion. upper A arms have to be made or bought to do this. with balljoints, you can use a HB spindle. i know it take s a little custom work, but the toyota 5 lug hubs can be adapted to the nissan spindle. and then with 4.5x5 pattern you can run any wheel you want. youll also have all kinds of aftermarket brake kits you can run with the 5 lug hub. for the rearend, a narrowed 8.8 with disks could work.. a stock disk brake axle from a late model s10 could work too.. did they even have disk brakes? toyota 5 lug axle with disk brake kit? hope it helps. 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'd keep the fiberglass, really gives the truck a unique look. Up to you though :) 2 Quote Link to comment
