|  Nissan Hardbody King Cab build - D21 1/10 scale Nissan D21 Hard Body crawlers The plan:
 Well the first one is almost done. First truck is just links. The next one will be all leafs. (Just got the juggy leafs Sunday) First mockup with just rails.  Building a frame 3/4 flat stock 1/8 thick with 23deg cuts as needed. Just welded together.  TLT frame compared to Mine. The rails are bolted together so all the holes are identical on both sides. I also grinded the rails while bolted together so both rails are the same. I am not good at making precise stuff.  Early flex shots, testing suspension ideas.  Added some crossmembers fro trans and stiffness.  Narrowed the rims because they do not fit over tlt axles. This was a learning experience.  Built some sliders and bumpers like the 1:1. Frame is almost done.  I decided to ditch the fiberglass AE shock towers and just make steel ones.   Drive shaft building. This was fun.    More flex shots.  Ride height with street tires. (still waiting for geolanders)  Upside down view.  What do You Guys think? |

as long as the TLT shocks are mounted near vertical they perform well, its when you lay en down you have issues. Nice body! cant wait to see it painted black! | |

Very nice truck so far and where did you get the body from? I may have missed it but I don't think so.

The differential is at the spur gear. Old school at heart. Although I'd save the old school AE trans and rig, clean it up and at least sell it to someone who likes them on eBay. | |

Thanks and I love that Pathy body. I had an 88. OK I put the body on today. Welded on some tabs for the TLT posts. I have never mounted a body via the sides before, but I like that look. 2.2 lbs of steel!  Some plastic was added to mount the stuff onto.  And here is the body. Reminds me of Jack Johnsons Class 4 baja 4wd truck.  Last edited by NissanNut; 10-17-2006 at 08:34 PM. |
