I take it the shop that did the conversion is the same one that built your front bumper. I can't get over the finish of their work. Every component of your truck looks sharp. Now that is what work from a professional shop looks like. Congratulations on the best looking SAS nissan I have ever seen.

I think JPs bumper was made in Africa by an offroad shop??

76Cruiser · 02-23-2004, 04:55 PM

Nope. It was made in Chile were he is from. There was talk of importing them, but I believe the shipping was a deal breaker. To bad. They look awesome, and were pretty damn cheap.

Yup, the same guy that built the bumper did the swap.

Keep the pics coming brah. Got any action pics?

jpvm · 02-26-2004, 02:04 PM

Aloha bradah Kaupono

Sadly have no action picture yet. It was given to me Dec. 31, the day after I went south for 1 month with the Path for vacations (without testing it I can't drive 2000 miles with it), then returned Jan 26 and after that, the front shaft started to vibrate heavily (its a custom made one). I thought I had a shot Tcase but it was the shaft. So its sitting on a new workshop (where these pics come from) being under repairs again. They will install a Toy shaft with CV , which this one here didnpt have, so the steep angles and a bad fabrication made the old one to vibrate.

Since it is finished I've driven it only in the city and now this.

I've ordered a rear Detroit Locker from www.4x4parts.com for the H233B rear axle, so this will be my last investment in the Nissan / Isuzu ( Toyota pick up I have now

Appreciated for all the kind words guys.-

KAUPONO · 02-27-2004, 12:03 AM

Sweet. Are you gonna drop a locker in the front later? Mine should be done by this summer. I hope. Next time im sending it to a shop.haha

jpvm · 02-29-2004, 06:19 AM

Ya man, but I will stick with only the Detroit in the back for now. $$$$ is going to my new house

Good idea to throw the job into a shop, sometimes you pay a little more but things are done professionally and you have a warranty..

Aloha braddah, not yet, ain't got cash but I will soon. Firs gotta

fix some functional problems. It rides great off road, very plush also, but on the road it "navigates" a lot sadly ......

KAUPONO · 05-11-2004, 05:22 PM

Just needs some fine tuning and it'll be all good.

jpvm · 05-12-2004, 10:54 AM

And yours buddy ?

KAUPONO · 05-12-2004, 11:29 AM

Still aint done yet. Need to find time to re-assemble the axles,brakes and finish the hi steer and some odds and ends. I'm hoping by late summer it'll be finished.

D-RAT · 05-12-2004, 12:45 PM

Sentra through the golden crack....LOL...Might have to try that!
