"Lola" - WreckDiver1321's 2005 Frontier CC/SB Nismo Build and Adventure Thread

[wreckdiver1321]

Man Nissans are weird..

It barely looks lifted to me haha i can't imagine what it was like before. Low rider status.

Lola is looking clean and good though!

Haha can you imagine it without three inches of lift and three more inches of tire? She was a baby.

Funny thing is though, I'm now at ~13" under the front diff, which is not all THAT far removed from Frank if I recall correctly. The body on the Frontiers do hang down a lot lower than your Yotas do though. But you'll be surprised when you see her again. She's way taller than she was at your last encounter.

Thanks Monte! She's ready for a second shot at Goose and some rougher stuff in Wyoming now, that's for sure

So, in case anyone was wondering, I'm at ~13" under the front diff now, and about 16" under the middle of the sliders.

Looks great, Tom! I just ordered a set of the new greasable SPC ball joints for my UCAs, so I'll be messing with my suspension a bit soon, as well.

Every time I see a picture of a truck with a snorkel, I want one more and more.....

Thanks Josh! I'm pretty happy with it.

I saw something about those new balljoints from SPC. They look wicked cool. I may upgrade my set sometime in the near future. My lower ball joints are looking pretty ragged, and I'm sure the LCA bushings are a little dead after 150k, so I'm going to replace the LCAs before summer hits. Might do the UCA ball joints too since it's already going to go in for an alignment. That way I'd have some spares.

Dooo iiiitttt... Your truck needs a snorkel. I'm sure of it.

If you have no other endearing qualities, you're certainly a terrible, wonderful influence :snorkel:

Yea only 1.5" off from the diff. We talking rear or front?

But damn. 6" difference from the sliders I think. Low hanging body for sure.

Hopefully I'll be there. This summer is turning into a huge what if. Lots of internships and stuff.

Front diff.

Haha yeah the newer Nissans hang down there that's for sure. But I still get 17-18 mpg on the highway

Yeah I know how it goes. I hope you are too, I'd like to run Morrison and a couple other Wyoming runs this year. Might just have to go down and visit Marc if you take off.

I read you're nearly done with school, so you'll be moving soon. If you're out in California, that might give me an excuse to finally go and run some stuff out there.

yea. I have a great gig offer at Fishtail MT actually this summer. So i think i'll end up doing that before pursuing a big studio gig. I'll wait till the late fall for that. Hopefully anyways. See how it plays out.

I was considering doing Morrison this year too again before all my life kinda went tails up with the summer planning. But id much rather go down to Lander and the Big Horns if i had the choice. So we will see.

Mpg...i don't even know what that is...lol

Well best of luck! Hopefully it all works out.

I was planning on doing more exploring in Wyoming this year too. I haven't been in the Bighorns pretty much at all, so I'd like to see them too.

 

[wreckdiver1321]

Well guys, I have good news and bad news. I got an awesome new mod installed. But I dropped my camera on my garage floor and broke it. So you can't see it until Monday when my new camera gets here.

So I'll leave you guys to speculate.

Sorry about your camera, bro. Replacing with same or upgrade?

Thanks man. It sucks but I'll live. I was gonna get a different lens, but that's gonna have to wait for a while.

Just replacing. I love my D610, it's such a fantastic camera that I have no complaints with. The only upgrade would be a D750 or a D810. I don't need or want 36 megapixels, and it's $1000 more than my camera. The D750 would be fantastic, but it's still $500 more.

I know the feeling about the lens. And I so need a camera upgrade. Stupid truck repairs wrecking my plans!

Ok now back to waiting for build updates...

Big horns are my favorite. But lots of good memories there. I was planning a longer 3-4 day trip there, but now I don't think i'll have the time off maybe at first. Ill keep you in the loop.

Sorry about the camera..that sucks. Been waiting on my for a while to get it back from being fixed.

Yeah, not the best way to spend the day. The new one got a protection plan put on it.

But the mod I got installed is cool as hell. I can't wait to show it off haha
