RMP&O · 12-17-2004, 11:57 AM

cool pictures Hoonz...good to see you showing us "yanks" what the real deal is when it comes to Nissans. In my opinion the Patrol is the only Nissan worth buying....

hoonz · 01-08-2005, 10:49 PM

just some more pics of me tinkering around on mt stuart in a creek bed ...
awesome place to wheel .. lots of rocks

hoonz · 01-30-2005, 03:02 AM

ok so i installed the snake arms today
compared to the original items snake arms are fuggin heavy and well designed
so ... 2 hours to install .... bit of friggin around on my part

i flexed up before and after ... and took pics and stuff
gained about 50mm travel in the front from the arms ... but i think my shocks are limiting ... will flex with out shocks next weekend ... and once new front shock towers go in with new shocks ... more photos then .. but this is from today

before front up

before rear up

snake vs orginal

w00t installed

after front up

under view

rear up and yours truely im 5'11

You'll have to fill your rig up more often so it doesn't need to go for a drink LOL

datz510 · 02-16-2005, 09:29 AM

Wow nice.. I had no idea that the patrols used a radius arm setup up front. Has anyone there tried wristing the passenger side arm? Should gain you gobs of articulation.

hoonz · 02-16-2005, 01:10 PM

yeh u can take out the front bolt on the left control arm and it'll flex like mad

pros : lots of flex

cons : unstable at speed
will flex on side angles and help ur truck go to sleep
chews the hell outta the other connected bushes really quick (6months)
