I had the same exact truck, that thing never died, funny thing a guy bought it and shipped to Mexico. I still remember it how cool it was.
Shoot this one is in Mexico now too! Maybe theyll meet some day!
Nice build... like them old Nissan pickups..
Same here! Sadly we don't see them too often at the shop :/
@@UltimateTruckOffRoad well its kinda like the trucks I got there old and they don't make them anymore but I wouldn't get rid of them for anything...
Pretty simple build, tires and lights.
Yes it is.
Love small 4x4 trucks! Fender flares would be the cherry on top.
Had a 89 4x4 HB I bought new in 88. Loved the truck, but definitely not an offroader. Modded and on 35's. I constantly had issues with all the inner metal panels under the hood & core support breaking at the spot welds or the panels cracking from off road use. Hope the guy isnt too serious about off roading it.
I think it'll be used a beater/toy!
Came out looking clean and mean. Y’all got specs and/or a link to the American racing wheels and the tires that were put on? I have an 87 too and I dig this wheel setup!!
Wheels: American Racing AR172, 6x5.5, 17x9, -12
Tires: Toyo Open Country AT3 265/65/17
Why the hell did you pick 17s; you missed out on a chance to put those factory 15in Lego wheels on. I will never understand these show pony type shops…
If you watch and listen to the video, the customer originally wanted to match the wheels on his other truck which were Fuel Rebels, only available in 17s. Once we found out they would not work, the customer opted to stay with the same tires and get the new wheels still in 17s.
I need running the Toyo at3 for a few years now. It’s a great tire but but the best for mud. It packs in quick and don’t clean out that good. But its a great tire other wise
Yeah, it's not a mud terrain sooo probably isn't the best in mud...
Taking a truck to Mexico is just asking for trouble
What is the 6inch lift kit for Nissan d21 pickup Because I been looking but I can’t find one
@rogybuenavista4758 this is only like a 2" lift. It was done before it was brought to us so unsure what it was.
Que medida son tus nuevos rines qué le pusiste y medidas de las llantas., gracias bro
hello! I have the same truck, do you think I can put those same tires and rims on it without making a modification?
You should be able to!
Here are the wheel/tire specs:
Wheels: American Racing AR172, 6x5.5, 17x9, -12
Tires: Toyo Open Country AT3 265/65/17
What kit would you recommend for a stock height 93 nissan hardbody 2wd? My truck was a 93 hardbody and I still have it my daughter wants it but wants it lifted. 3-4 inches.
Unfortunately a 2wd I am not seeing anything out there. May have to be something custom made.
Its a nissan hardbody D21
Yes D21
What was the budget for this build? Minus the lights
There wasn't much into it for us. Wheels/Tires were around 2,000 ballpark.
Damn, I love it!
I actually wanna do something similar, wanna put those exact rims in a 17x8 configuration, 245/70 R17 BFG trail terrains, lift my truck a little bit (just enough for it to sit level and allow full tire clearance in all directions). Oh, and lights, 6 in the roof, a pair of fog lights, a pair of A pillar / hood flood lights and some chase lights.
And I also have other hardbody proyect, but it is a singlecab flatbed and I wanna go dually with 17" wheels and the exact same tires.
Any advice would be nice, as well as any nice looking 17x8 wheels for dually that will fit
Dually would definitely be tough. Would depend on what the bolt pattern would be on that. To be honest, there is not a ton that is specific to this truck. Majority of what your talking about doing would be a lot of trial and error for fitment.
@@UltimateTruckOffRoad it is a 6x139.7mm bolt pattern and a 100mm hub center bore. Bolt pattern aint the problem, it was preety commonly used by Toyota, Nissan, GM, etc. The thing is the hub center bore, it is very large and quite hard to ding something like that.
Would you advice to find wheels with the right designd, size and bolt pattern and just send them to get the hub center bore machined to the right spec? I mean, sound good, but I'm sure you can give me a better answer to it.
Or maybe you guys can find the wheels
@@69sound81 Sorry, I thought you were talking about the dually set up. But yeah, it'll be a common bolt pattern and hub bore will be an issue for options. We ran into that with this exact truck. Some wheels will be super close to working, and some wont. Just have to watch what you get. I would not recommend having the center machined out, it could hurt the structural integrity of the wheel itself.
@@UltimateTruckOffRoad yes, I was talking about dually setup. But with or without it the center bore is an issue anyways. And thanks, I had exactly that doubt about machining. The structural integrity is the one I am most worri3d about with that Idea. But in the last days I've found a couple Ideas, some people run a structural spacer to fit the dually setup, so maybe it is my best bet to go that route. I'm planning to machine the spacers with a profesional machining shop in a steel alloy and have it done with a more common center bore lip so I can find a dually set of wheels more easily. Maybe even in a different bolt spacing
I’ve been looking for some roll bars for mine. Can you tell me which ones those are? Do they fit on the rail of the bed without having the extra lip? I think the bed is about 2” wide and the roll bars are about 3”
This roll bar was actually installed on the truck before it came to us. I believe the customer stated it was one for a 90s Ranger, but other than that, we are unsure of the brand.
Did you have to change the gear ratio or no?
We did not, however the customer may have down the road.
I love those rims where can i get them
If you're local to the Omaha, NE area, we can definitely help you out. Otherwise check with your local American Racing dealer.
For 2wd trucks what is available to lift them I haven’t found anything for them
Was thinking of starting with doing an over axle leaf by flipping them but noticed the leaf mounts are welded to axle figured that would at least lift it the thickness of the leaf and axle housing
But what would be done upfront
I don’t want to do a body lift have had bad experiences before with them
Unfortunately we don't have any options for 2wd model. There may be something out there, but nothing we have access to.
What model is that Armordillo Chase Rack?
Unsure as the customer had this previously installed.
What tire size did you used
Am I the only one who noticed every segment of this video begins with “we messed up” or “it didn’t quite fit but”
Poor advertising to say the least
Some would appreciate the honesty, to each their own.
where do you bought the roll bar?
The customer already had the roll bar before it was brought to us.
5:18
I just bought one that im about to build the shit out of
That's awesome! Make sure to record your progress!
i used to have a truck just like this one and i kick myself everyday for selling it
They're awesome little trucks! Hard to find this clean anymore.
1:10 your not building a colorado it’s a Nissan hardbody
If you listen closely we say "it will match his colorado"
He has a Colorado with those same wheels.
Did you guys lift the truck?
If not :
what lift do you guys recommend for a 94 d21 2wd??
We don't recommend lift it lol
If the Nissan is lifted only use it in the streets just not extreme 👍🏻
@@UltimateTruckOffRoad why shouldn't we lift it? I have an 89 d21 and was thinking about it but curious why we shouldnt. Forgive me for I new to vehicle modding.
@@nvfpv it’s 2wd
What Justin said. If it's 2wd, there is next to nothing out there to lift it. Most of the time you see them lifted it's done in a way that makes it unsafe
