aeion's Nissan Hardbody | Low and Silly

[aeion]

Threw a (cheap) bid in on some small spacers on ebay just for funsies. Let's see if I get them haha

[aeion]

I finally got my ride height all done. Redrilled the front leaf hanger and got the back nice and low.

All you have to do is just drill a new hole at a precisely measured spot






I still need to cut the rest of the hanger off as I only have very little ground clearance at the moment. But until I do, it's fun making sparks


I was BARELY able to get onto the alignment rack lol




And the wheel specs as promised

[aeion]

Lowered the front just a smidge more tonight. It's now as low as I can get up there without drop spindles. Hopefully my ball joints can hold up to being this low without modification haha. Hopefully on Thursday I can get the leaf hangers re-drilled to get the back down, but for now the front is looking perfect. Also, fixed my AC tonight. But that was as simple as adding a little tension to that belt. It was a little loose.





This is my exhaust....lets see how long it goes before it forms a hole and I am forced to do blast pipes



...And my crossmember that I shave roads with

[aeion]

So I made a grounding kit from the one that I had left-over from my Subaru and wow - what a difference it made. Idle is smoother, improved throttle response, and a very decent increase in mid-top end power. I am very please with this mod as it took about 20min and was well worth installing.

Go on mate. Live and let live.

[aeion]

Meh. If I was interested in off-roading or looking bigger or something I would have just gotten a 4wd hardbody. But that's just not what I'm into

[Nagah]

It just looks dumb because of this toy wheel position. Some spacers, wider wheels and pulled fenders and they are tits!

Really? Even a 2wd single cab hardbody?

Well at least thats my opinion:



It needs some lights on top on a bar to be epic but this shows what I am feeling:

[aeion]

Hardbodies look dumb lifted.

I know I am in the wrong Forum for this opinion...but...Pickups need to be high. Really high, not low.

Like these fellows:

[aeion]

Did this last night. Woops



And I plan on getting lower to do even more of this. Sparks are fun

[aeion]

Specs on the wheels are 17 x 7.5

I'll check the offset when I take them off again.

I need to go lower. You can see the crossmember back there where I have shaved a few roads.

[aeion]

I like it man, just take off that purple stripe.

Haha that's actually masking tape. My friend put it there and I didn't notice it until we got to that spot

It will come off when I need gas again lol

what are the new wheels? any specs on them ?

They're Denali 17"s. I think 8" wide? They came on last generation Denali SUV's. When using GM wheels on Hardbodies you have to bore the centers out to fit but luckily the friend that I got these from had already done that.

I'll check the specs on those when I get back from my vacation this week.
