Boxcar Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Best bang for your buck would be to get some aggressive tires and good body armor. Bigger would be better but not a requirement. You'd be surprised how these lil rigs go on the trails with just a nice set of knobbies and maybe a rear locker. Body armor (bumpers, sliders, n skid plates) would be a very good idea to keep that sexz lil rig looking good and by not getting crazy with trying to lift it you keep it streetable. A winch would be another fantastic investment! Nailed it. Listen to this man Datquick. so if i got front Dana 44s? do i take the rear off the same truck? do i take that tranny and drivelinesw and all that stuff,? or can i use my trannyy? would i have to mount my stuff to that fram or will that stuff mount up to my tranny and crossmember and alxes will go in without no problem and steeerin crap will that all be fine? If possible , yes. Take both front and rear from the same rig. That way you are getting a gear matched set of axles. You can take the springs , drag link , tie rod , drive lines etc. You won't need the transmition or T-case. Don't consider a frame swap , you don't need it. You own a Datsun 4x4 frame. i want stuff that i can bolt up and go and not have to do anything? will this stuff just bolt up? The answer is NO. You have one of the best starting points to a Datsun 4x4, A dealer prep. The HOLLY GRAIL OF Datsun 4x4's.... BUT : All suspension conversions that you want to do are going to require fabrication of some degree. Because this was not a rig offered by Datsun / Nissan ever as a factory option, there isn't, and never has been any factory support. Other than the stock parts that were retained after the original conversion was done. Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 You said earlier that a carb swap is too much $$$. Everything else mentioned since is going to run you a lot more. I'd say get that engine running right. Either tune the hitachi or save up for the weber, get electronic dizzy if you don't have one. Do some reading about cams and headers then forget about doing that... ;) Gear you axles better. 32" is already a big tire, your truck is extra light weight compared to most 4x4 rigs you'll be passing in the mud. If there's no locker setup for the H190 just rig you're E-brake to let you pull a lever and drag the spinning wheel. Locker for front should be easy (dana30) Then just invest in some Mud Terrain and GO! If you need to lift more get your springs re-arched or find some that fit and have more arch. Longer shackles might help. Just keep in mind that eventually you'll start to need new steering components when the axle , frame, and body start to get further apart. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 You can re-gear your current front axle to 4:88 and you can get an 320 or 520 4:88 gear set for the h190 rear you currently have with a little searching or a wanted ad in the classifieds (that's how I got mine). I am running 35" tires and can cruise down the freeway with ease. Gonna go against the grain here....I would suggest getting it running reliably and the take into the woods and see what it will do before you make any modifications. You might be surprised at what it will do. Then you will have a real good idea what to upgrade next. You should also invest in some rocker protection and bumpers before you get to crazy, my truck is kinda tall but I my rocker guards have already done their job. 1 Quote Link to comment

620Turbo4X4 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Would be fun. Maybe something this summer. My truck needs some work still too. Mostly getting my front and rear, rear end ratios matching. My truck came with a 4.27 Dana 30 in the front, and Datsun 4.65 in the back. Binds up in 4wd. From what I've read, quite a few of these were built mostly for looks, like mine. Might want to check and see what you have under your truck for ratios? 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I will start a wheeling trip thread in Events. We can work out a place to go that is central to everyone and pick a date in the summer so we have a long day to play. :) 1 Quote Link to comment

Boxcar Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I guarantee that you have a Dana 30 front and a Dana 20 T-case. Shifter tells me the T-case is a 20. And you're pic of the front of the truck shows a 30 front axle....... Have a great Thanks Giving. All of you guys. Stay safe. 2 Quote Link to comment

OneFreakyMF Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Happy to help Brother! Just take your time and research everything. Google really can be your friend! There are pages that can help you identify which axles you have. Focus on getting it running good and driving safely. Trying to understand everything at once is way to overwhelming. Ooh, and I am soooo down for a Datsun wheelin trip!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Boxcar Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 NICE FORD MAN .................... and box car is the t case under the shifter to put it into 4 wheel drive or is that the rear axle? whats the rear axle? is it a Dana 30 to or something diff? I'm confused The T-case is mounted between the transmission and the rear axle. It's the thing with the drive lines coming out of it. You're rear is probably a stock Datsun. Quote Link to comment
