Lil D21 diddy

Engine bay clean stage uno.





And the 3 wheel choices I am trying to make at the moment. (1) steel black 15x8 (2) pathfinder 15x6.5 (3) trooper 16x7

Loving this, makes me want another d21! I like steelies on these trucks, but that's pretty played out, so if you want to stand out one of the alloys, with proper offset, would look rad.

Congrats on making it impossible to open a window with a drink in that cup holder.

Otherwise truck looks like it has potential.

Window crank is fine, its the interior handle that is harder to use, but I did not have many options for placement. It was there or lower below the window crank with the bonus of hitting it with my knee/leg...

So... thanks.

Little work here and there. Some engine bay clean up. Makes the rest of it look worse though...

















Net just waiting on some parts to come in, and keep adding to it. Still not decided on wheels. I dot want the steels only because its the most used option. But it is a good look.

Looks good so far man, I like steels on trucks, but I may be biased.

[sleeps]

I think I may go about 1-1.5" lower, I like how it sits, but want a small tuck front wheel. And keep some driveability. Anywhoo... some front end work this weekend. 1st gen s10 bumper, repainted the turn signal light holders, added some tint to the lights and called it a day.



Original - to now front end:











Did not have time but will be repainting front bumper black. Looks horrid now.

The little sticker collection.

Welcome to the hardbody life! Good start! There's a couple of us on here if you have questions. I need to work on mine again haha

Thanks, been paroosing your build a few times. Here is a full front end shot, I really love how it turned out.

[Shogunate]

Get some pathfinder fenders. Looks like its coming along. Great work.

Do you plan on keeping the single cam or swapping it out for the DE? They are both pretty potent for the price, but the dual cam has a bit bigger aftermarket, and you can do a hot cam swap(not sure if it works for the frontier dual cam though) for under $50 while yielding pretty reasonable gains.

I like the OEM+ look that you've got going. As for wheels, you should check out getting some 6 to 5x114.3 adapters and run some OEM wheels from another manufacturer(starion wheels!). It will keep the price down, look great, and you'll have greater wheel availability down the road if you ever want to change.


edit: fuck, wrong picture. Starion wheels on s13

Thanks, I have checked out the adapters, been back and forth a few times. Funny you mention the starion wheels as I have started to find a 6 lug that is very similar to that style. Old toyota 4 runners. They are 15x7 with 8mm offset. I want to keep it an old school simple look. Currently watching some on ebay, and looking local.

Those wheels are real period pieces, hell yeah. Those would look killer in bronze with a black inlay.

Have you thought about a paint scheme yet for the truck?

[sleeps]

I have a bunch of left over colors from many previous paint jobs, so Im not sure yet, but leaning on a flat metallic/silver flake front fenders and then a custom roof and repaint the rest a clean white.

If all else fails, and the guides do need to be changed, Swap on a dual cam head. Nets you somewhere between 10.5-11:1 compression.
