New things done; 3.0 is out and gone, the 4 cyl bellhousing is on, gas tank is out, and rear frame has been cut down. I'll post pics later of the super short frame <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. Got some donations to the project this week from a few friends and my shop forman <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Thanks to Lordtrunks for the bodylift pucks and locked 9" 3rd, Datz510 (Nissan4Wheelers.com) for the super long ranchos, Jason (Weekend warrior customs) for the roll bar, and Mike (Fleet department foreman) for the truck tool box and steel tubing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Only waiting on flexplate bolts and motor mounts now, the rest is labor. Hopefully i'll get the gas tank mounted this wekend but i have to do lower baljoints and 1 upper control arm on the big truck so i can get it aligned for my new tires this coming week.

Back to this project, i decided on wheels and tires. I plan on buying custom H1's with standard rock rings and 37's from Trail worthy fab <link . [Linked Image] They will be like these but black on blue and regular rock rings not flames and obviously mine will be 6 lug. I need to figure out what offset i want too, I'd like them to be the same offset as the wheels on my '99. How do i figure out the offset? I don't want to order wheels and they be a bad offset.
