Hi everyone, I'm Josh. Been 4wding 10+ years now, grew up playing with Land Rovers... on my 3rd D21 Nissan now (TD27, VG30i, and now TD27T). My original intention was to get an MK or GQ Patrol, but I've really come to love the design and off road suitability of the WD21.
Here is my current truck. I want to make her purpose built, so started w/ a bare metal paint job in Dune Beige.
1988 Terrano, Atlas blacktop engine w/ stock turbo, recon'd 5-speed, 4.88 gears, stripped interior w/ bench seat, Superlift UCA front suspension lift, JGC rear lift, Rancho 5000 lift shocks, manual hubs. Weighs 1750kg w/ quarter tank of diesel.
Traction upgrades I am currently working on:
-Aussie locker waiting to be installed in the C200 rear diff
-Front diff upgrade to beefcurtain R200 type, diff drop kit, then install ARB locker I have
-33x10.5 MTs on factory lego wheels when I can afford
Other tasks I am collecting parts for
-2wd steering system using Moog/555 heavy duty parts
-Idler arm delete/dummy box mod
-Heavy duty balljoints
-4 door torsion bars (stiffer spring rate)
I know it seems weird to be getting tyres last, but I'm really focussing on mechanicals and building this one up properly first. Plus, its hard to find 33x10.5x15 MTs unless you want to drop $450 a tyre! I'll be on the lookout for a used set of BFG first generation MTs I think...
Anyway enough crapping on, thought I would say hi and introduce myself
