i've had this '92 nissan d21 for a little over a year, its the 2.4L with a 5 speed, 4x4, pretty much stock with 31" at's. it was going to be just a 'back and forth' to work truck, but as always things change.
right now i've got a full size crawler, and just dont use it as much as i want to, so i'm wanting to sell it and sas the nissan for a multi-purpose vehicle. i want to use it to be semi-streetable, haul smaller items(read keep its usablility as a truck), haul smaller trailers, take it to the hunting lease, and still be able to wheel it pretty hard. i know this is a tall order but maybe i'm just greedy.
i'd like to sas it, the waggy d44 front looks to be a good choice, should i keep the stock rear? hb223 right? or go with the waggy amc20, another rear d44, or ford 9", or full width tons? are dodge d60's a good option? also i think i'd like to run 4.56-5.13 gears and 37-38" tires.
i'm looking for something with of course cost in mind, but also usability, and strength. should i go leafs in front or 3 link; i just want to keep it simple? i've been through the nissannut site and read countless threads here on pirate4x4. not really looking to go doubler right now, maybe later. i'd also like to stay as simple as possible, i've got decent fab skills but i'm no custom rig builder, so the easier the better.
just looking for some straight forward opinions and advice, sure hope i dont get flamed too bad for being a nissanoob. thanks in advance.
