Soul_Control's: 2005 Frontier Nismo
« on: August 21, 2013, 07:52:35 PM »

---

After numerous changes, three in total, to the front and rear suspensions and even some interior and exterior parts doh!  – Dirt King and I have gotten to know the ins-and-outs of the D40 suspension platform pretty well, along with the mudslide of miscellaneous bits and pieces that one can run into on these builds. She's a wabi-sabi inspired build for sure, but its good to have character...

Feel free to hmu with any questions, as I’ll have plenty of my own (mostly electronics), when I start piecing everything back together in around two weeks time to get her running and roadworthy again.

I look forward to trading info with you all in keeping our trucks in tiptop form along with traversing some dirt miles in the near future.

Sweet ride!  I'll definitely be hitting you up. My build is not nearly as extensive as yours but I do have questions about your rear. Can't wait to see your rig in person.

Thanks for delivering on the photos.  There's a sh** load of nice custom welding going on there.  Great work!

I told you guys.  Joe delivers! 

I'm going to tease it here.  There's a road in the Mojave that Joe and I will be doing November 23-25.  Thread to come later.  You guys should all be there!

Thanks everyone. Here's a few cell pics I have of the front-end.  Keep me posted if there's anything specific anyone is curious about.

That is a sweet setup. I am curious, on those front Kings are they just regular 2.5x8 with a long lower stem to clear the cv axle?

knightrider is correct.  These are Dirt King's Titan fabricated uprights, which is based off of stock dimensions so they can pretty much fit anything that utilizes the stock spindles.

Yes, King and most other off-road shock manufacturers can set you up with longer rod-ends for clearance issues, etc...

Good to know. I hope to get to see this truck in person one day, I've always loved prerunners.
