Hey Guys...Intro Post

F'n cool. Is the 8" stroke just right, too much, or too little? I'm pretty curious . . . I need new shocks out back but haven't measured.

Are these used or new? I'll bet you'll enjoy those.

The shocks were on Greg's (PRG) x-terra for +-500 miles. They were too long for the set-up so he gave me a smoking deal on them. As for the stroke they're just about right, a little on the long side, although once I get my leaf pack it should be good to go. You can specify the stroke lenght and custom shocks can be made specifically for your application. I'll suggest to contact Greg if you want the same ones since he's not planning on retailing these. Just tell him you want the set-up Joseph has. Hope this helps. On a second note, I took the truck in for a little beating and I haven't bottomed out.

Well, the truck is finally getting where I want it to be. But with school and work it's still a slow process. lol. The truck now has some shrock sliders, a bumper/lightbar, and some cool black rims. Hopefully within the next month a rear tubed bumper.

Here are some pics from a recent trip to Pismo.

Nice shots! Your Frontier is looking really good. Even though I love my 07 Tacoma, there are times I do miss my old Frontier. What are you planning after the rear bumper?

Jay I have always been impress with your truck.:beer:

 

[JayP]

Thank you. My plans after the rear bumper are to make a belly pan and some storage boxes that utilize the utili-trac. I'm also going to be converting the lights to HID's, since "real" HID's are too impractical for my current budget. lol. Also, I believe Deaver has a full leaf pack out, but that will come later this year/early next hopefully.

Nice looking truck there. I like how clean and simple it looks and having a quality suspension underneath makes it a 4x4 "sleeper" of sorts.

Cheers

I really dig that light bar, does it offer added protection? That truck is sweet.

 

[JayP]

Thank you once again for the kind words. The lightbar is built around the stock bumper and is made out of DOM and the horns are fully boxed. It was "semi-engineered" to compress on a heavy impact, but offer plenty of protection should something come up right up front.
