Keep us posted on the progress, especially the front drive shaft. Those that are considering a SAS can use the info, even if it is not exactly what they want to do with thier project.

Tru dat Duerk! He has some cajones for doing that to an 02 X. More power to him.

East Side, you man enough to make a driveshaft outa wood and duct tape?

Looks good, bigger(taller) tires or a slight drop would be killer IMO. i don't ever look at XOC, but screw whatever they are saying over there

Mr. Will

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Holly mad axle wrap batman that’s one monster X.

Yeah I’m with orange on this one always glad to see individuality, more power to you.

Keep an eye out on those rear springs, look like they could have trouble supporting that much lift/weight in the longer term. Consider a HD custom spring pack with more progressive leafs. Also some type of traction bar or link system for the rear axle to keep axle wrap in check.

Hope that stock tranny lasts pushing those huge tires, consider a aux tyranny cooler if you a auto, that and some CALMINI low t-case gears (for wheelin’) should help you out a whole bunch in the long run considering you’re running 5.13’s all around I recall?

Yeah a front drive shaft with that much lift & LP D44 will be a challenge IMO, looks like you need a 80 degree CV to make it work, that and some degree shims under the spring(s) to get a better angle on the front pinion/yoke (needs to be angled up)

Good luck and enjoy that monster X.

yea, i'll keep you guys posted.
like i said my X is'nt done yet.i do have a trac bar but, did'nt put it on yet. rear springs are being custom made.
we had this big cruz this past weekend with all these huge rigs every year(about 300+ trucks)and jus for the cruz i wanted to show the other brand name trucks that nissans can hang with the big dogs, thats why it looks so high......
give me a couple of months it will be trail ready(again).....
btw, thanks for all the nice comments about my X..
i wish all you nissan guys was here for the cruz,you should have seen the faces of the ford, toyotas, chevy, and jeep faces like, is that a nissan???LOL!!
i'll keep you guys posted on back to normal(heeheehee)

aloha

Lookin' real good, Eastside. Keep up the radical mods. Someone has to break new ground before it's a trail.

Not to bash..

But how does a SAS help in Sand crawling?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

because with the SAS we can put bigger wider tires on with out worrying(sp?) about my steering or,anything else that tend to make the nissan IFS a little fragile.. i hope this answer your question.
btw, no bashing taken...

aloha

Yes it helps. Thanks
