You joke but I’ve already got a line on some SE-R rims for the summer

My very first car was a 2005 Sentra 1.8S with a 5 speed. Had so many good memories in that car. My brother got it as a gift from my parents brand new in 05, then it got handed down to me. I drove it till it got tboned and then I sold it to a mechanic friend, who straightens panels, and drove it till 350k km where structural rot took it out. I love these things- mine ran like a top even once the whole body was like Swiss cheese.


So sad to see how bad Nissan has gotten. A shell of their former selves.

 

that's not what she says... 12.5" is pretty narrow when tire is 37" tall

 

^Nitto Recon Grapplers are available in 37x11.5 if you want huuuge pizza cutters.

 

I do joke. If you want to get that 16s car into the low 13s there's weight reduction to be had https://nerocam.com/scc_tap.asp

In all seriousness, old light manual compacts are a blast that modern cars will never have.

 

Anyone want to wheel this weekend?

 

yes...where and when?

 

The Jeep people must be laughing at this:

 

In case anyone is looking for some items

>selling $8k worth of stuff for 4k

>Not a single image of it other than some stock photo

>Wont even sell piece by piece. gotta drop it all at once.

 

Absolutely. They reached out to the club and just passing it along. Someone may be interested in it. Won’t work for me, items or the price lol.

 

It’s seems like a marketing agency, they probably filmed all that for ads and now trying to offload it for a buck…

 

Literal overlanders

it's official the decal says so.

 

I can't help but think after removing the 5100's that they were for a non lifted truck...very little travel compared to the Elkas. The Billy's gave me a harsh ride...thought maybe it was nature of the beast. Maybe the reason they lasted less than 2 years.

 

naaa i refuse to believe that's not the 1 of 1 - JDM-spec Taco!

 

How long was the Bilstein compared to the Elka?

 

I never measured...but just looking at the two I'd say at least a 6 inch difference in extended length...I had to compress the Elkas to get them under the top shock mounts. I had to jack up each side of the axle to let the other side to drop out .

 

6" difference is unusually severe. Is there some damage on the Bilsteins preventing full extension?
