Way to go Jake Jr.!!!!! When are you doing the Toyota axle swap?

I only have a 3" lift get with the program

so lets talk bottorf....













so.. it looks like i'll have to trim the fender on each side right under the corner lights. im expecting to have to trim more when i put 35's on it so that's not a problem. my main concern is i still have another inch to go backward and the winch tray is under the radiator. the problem is i dont think i can fit a winch on the tray becuase it will hit the hard cooling lines that fit underneath the rad... i asked bill if he ever had it mounted to a classic with a winch on it waiting to hear back. i think it will fit a d1 or d2 better.... thoughts? ideas?

Did the bolt holes line up to the frame?

Turf moved those lines some how.. Never saw the finished product though.

Sounds like a lot of work to run a bottorf..

they look like they will im about 1 inch away because it's hitting the fenders. similar to how the ARB did bit not nearly as severe

Well you can either cut the fenders are cut the bumper

Ed, what year is this RRC? One of my friends has started importing 200 TDi-s...you could make this truck genuinely waterproof (at least up the to the top of the snorkel).

So far a couple of the FPLRG guys have these engines in their Series trucks. There's at least one more sitting in his shop outside Pittsburgh, but that one doesn't have a turbo on it. (He kept the cost down by sourcing it without the turbo...it's effectively a Disco 200 Di...mostly because he expected it to go into a Series truck which would require a tougher driveline to handle the extra HP and torque of the turbo...)

Totally agree. I guess what I was getting at is that he could get one with the turbo, or get the turbo for the engine he has. Since it came off a Disco, it was set up to have one and should be pretty easy to put it back...

I say perfect opportunity for a larger turbo. There are plenty of gt28's for sale on Nissan forums.

IF you touch the engine I vote crower 230 cam pertronix distributor and coil and the Ashcroft gears you've picked out.

you guys think i bought a honda and now im made of money.. fuckin hell im posting pics of a bumper i bought that doesnt fit for $100 and you want me to rip the engine out... bunch of nutters.

No kidding! My only engine upgrade is headers.. Build those thirds with 4.37 and you'll move a long fine. A million times better than 32s and 3.54 gears

TDI,TDI,TDI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed what you going to do with the springs that are currently on the RRC? They omes? I may be interested in them..

Sounds good I'd be in for the springs I already got a set of shocks. Are the 2" MD, HD?
When you ordering the rest of the goods?

Ed, Any updates on your build? or are you going to be taking it nice and slow?

Im stalled right now finishing up my first semester of grad school right now, hoping next weekend I can put in work.

I looked at those a while ago.. pretty decent tread depth.. What happened to wanting the guard dogs in that size? They stop making them?

they show the 33's and 35's on the website but are not in stock and says to call. I left them a message on Facebook and am going to call tomorrow but I'm guessing either they don't have the casings or they are working on turning all their designs into the new bead to bead style.
