I like those wheels. Gives it a retro look.

 

They aren't too bad, thought about having em re powdercoated metal flek gun metal

 

The dodges last tracks....on my heart...




Made this little abortion to try and press wheel bearings out. Don’t know if it’ll work. Need a couple more little pieces of U channel on the top as well. Haha I guess we’ll see if it holds.


So this is my new daily hehehhehee

 

I don't think that will be strong enough. But its worth a shot.

 

Yeah. It’s all 1/4”, with decent welds and all the force will be pushing the welds together instead of pulling them apart. But it still may bend the 1/4” tabs holding the knuckle. If it does I have a solution. It also may stretch the threaded rod. If it does that’s an easy fix, long high grade bolts. The other weak link is, will my press have enough juice to press this hub out? The bearing is usually the easier part.

 

I don’t even notice them

 

Do it!

Aren’t the center caps plastic?

 

Probably, you can powder plastic though. Quality powders come with a cross reference for a spray can too though. I'm looking for other Nissan OEM and Infiniti wheels right now.

 

This dust collector for my drill press is pretty cool. Called a Drillnado, it’s connected to the cyclonic dust separator for my sandblaster.

 

Maybe you guys can help me out here
Acesss cab or 4 door. I keep debating which I want on the next truck. Right now I have a 2wd auto acess cab but I'm planning on upgrading to a 4x4 TRD. Both cabs are great and have their pros and cons. The big thing that bothers me is can I make the short bed work, and get another 2.7 or go for the 3.4 . Gas mileage can't really be that much different. Or maybe it is.... Someone help me out there with opinions

 

Four Door.

Everyday I regret not having a four door.

 

Thats what I'm thinking, i can find a way around the short bed. But every time I wheel and people are fighting to ride along illI be kicking my own ass haha

 

4dr but it only came stock 4x4 with an automatic.

 

You can always do a 5-Speed swap, haha.

 

That thing would piss me off. Wait until it gets coated in cutting oil and you cant see through it. I just use the bottom of my magnetic parts tray to sweep up steel shavings. Oh and I found vaccuming steel shavings will eventually clog the hose. Pain in the butt.

 

I know, it's not a killer.

Oh the ideas

 

I probably should use cutting oil...

 

Tap magic is my go to

 

I'm really worried that my front end is going to sag big time with this ARB bumper and winch. I shall send them back and install the stock front bumper.

Sarcasm aside, what combo should I run if I want stock height with all this extra weight? If it went up a half inch or an inch I'd be ok with that. I don't want this truck lifted so high that it rips CV boots and my 265/70/16s look smaller than they already are.

Should I just go with OEM Kings? or OME and 5100s?

 

I just use motor oil...
Or wd40 lol
