bagged 620 super short (big update)

[nosh1t]

yeah i agree defeats the prepuse of layin a truck out

 

the baggin still has a point

 

its all because i want it to have 20's

only other way is to layin out on the pitch which i think looks shit house

i will do that and see what other people say

 

fare as wreck the look of the car i will make it flow best as posseble

[nosh1t]

ok just talking to my mate

 

i need to forget about the 20's and need to make it rite im thinging white walls and some old school 15's chrne spokes and i'll do a 5 stud conversion

and that should gell what yah think boys

 

and yeah i'll put the 20's back on my hardbody

[bonvo]

stay with the 6 lug its stronger and you will have alot less work to do just my .02

agree ..

 

hilux stubs will not work. i have seen a 620 done using commodore disks and a commodore diff but thats a shit load of work.

 

you have disks and a decent stud pattern. stick with it. you can get most wheels in 15" 6 lug. its a VERY common wheel size.

[peanut2425]

You can keep your 20's in the back and maybe put some 18's in the front, with where you are looking at having your ride height it will not look bad at all, only if it's way high and you could see all of the wheels it might look a bit odd with the size difference. just a thought

[nosh1t]

there off my hardybody/navara they should go back on there

sill idea looked crap

i'll order some new wheels to night if i can find 6 stud that will work

[datrod]

In one pic you have it looks like you need some new shoes, :lol:

The truck looks good mate,

[nosh1t]

donate bitchs i need new wheel too

[impala_631]

still looking good,i vote no on the rocker extenting tho:cool:

[nosh1t]

g'day ratsun

been back at work for a week now just got a small update

i'll be able to use 18s no problem just gotta get the rite ones

 

the owner of the place that i get my wheels from is coming down to my shop to night to check it out so i got this ready for him as you can probly tell

 

i still have to drop the body cut the pitch and braces the from end but this will do to show him

yeah the wheel tub will go to about 5mm below the top of the fender

looks kool i reckon beaing that the z is too big now there will be more camber on the accauly layed out set up

[airedout]

Looks like you still have a little room to go still, te tires arent touching the hood yet are they> That is the biggest reason i didnt body drop mine, laying rocker i couldnt even fit a 15, especially with a stick suspeneion.

 

Looks like your getting there!!! An like the others said, please dont extended the rockers, the BD is much cooler. You can gain just s little bit of drop by replacing the factory rails with some 2x3, but its still not enough to get it on the rockers wihitout a small bs or channel.

[nosh1t]

i have replaced the rails dude and there 17s but 18s should fix fine

[BEEBANI]

Looks good Ryan, glad you decided not to go with steelies.

2x3 on its side will get the drop needed,just make shure its 1/4"thickness and properly braced:)

Running 2x3 sideways is the same as running 2x2. You lose the vertical strength of that extra inch because it is placed on the 2 inch vertical. I wouldnt recommend running 2x2 or 2x3 sideways. 1/4 inch is overkill on such a light truck, 3/16 is even over kill. You would just be adding extra un-needed weight to anh already underpowered truck. 1/8 tubing would almost be enough, but without the factory engineered bends and shaped to keep it strong, your better off building it a l;ittle heavier.

[nosh1t]

when talking about stregth the thinkness and the hight are what matters

for explain 2x3 will be only the strgeth of the wall size and the hight

2x3 wall 1/4 is streght while up rite but on its side the flex and defletion is much greater

 

i would never do it

 

im running mu stock rails cuting a 1 1/4 off the top

putting a 3x2 inside that with a 5mm wall greater then 1/4

 

so it will be fine to test this you can get a presser gaugle and a jack and see what defletion rating the steel would have a 2x3 layin flat it would be very good

 

i have done test like this and know a fair bit about it because im carpenter and project manger

 

sorry for spelling

[peanut2425]

try some full stops and commas too, might make you a bit easier to understand.

sup Ryan! get your ass in gear man! Been meaning to hook up with ya on msn, but I keep forgetting.

[oldsklminitrk]

It looks good man....but with it being that low the most i could tuck was a 17 and I struggled for that...please dont extend the rockers....if anything cut them off...make the door drag. :)
