You could go with the 16" escalade wheels like I have. I would go 20 or bigger though IMO. Then again I like to cut the shit out of my truck. LOL

small pic maybe you can see the wheels.

**m3dic8d** · 10-12-2009, 09:13 PM

That thing is badass! I've seen a couple mini trucks around in the past couple years that have made me wanna get one because I think they're pretty cool... I think this is going to turn out sick!

And I like the rims, but if you think they're too common I'm with you on losing them. Nothing wrong with wanting something different

I didn't see where you said a color. Have you decided yet? Also, the suspension...any plans?

lol yea i am tall but i fit ok, not much worse than my hatch i had. color is going to wave line pearl off a scion tc. as far as suspension, its bagged so thats taken care of.

Looking good. Def need to do the 5 lug conversion. Also, I liked the Yota front bumper better then the stock one.

if it fit right i would have kept it on there.

**civicmantim** · 10-13-2009, 09:52 AM

AH the mini truck days,looks like it's going good can't wait to see it painted.

**bdydrpdmazda** · 10-13-2009, 09:56 AM

body drop that beast and put the rockers on the ground. Some guys in LA at a shop called doin it big body dropped one of those on 22s all the way around.

As for shaving the handles, the nissan HB is one of the hardest vehicles on the planet to shave the handles on because of the way the handles fall in the body line. Its looking good and do what you have to do to bring that thing all the way down on the payment. ill try to find a pic of the one on 22s and post it in here.

**sierra** · 10-13-2009, 10:00 AM

I like those wheels.

Thats what I'm interested in.

**AltimaCharlie** · 10-13-2009, 11:00 AM

i love your truck. i dd a stock frontier, but i surf minitruckin sites all the time and dream about bagging it. i have Titan wheels on my truck, but they are 18" so i guess you dont want to go that route. There is a set off off-road titans in 17" that i really like.

Ahhh. They weren't showing up when I made my post.

I stand firm on my comment, lolol. That's ugly as hail. Those wheels need to be about 7 sizes smaller and the fender vents need to go. Later, QD.

**bdydrpdmazda** · 10-13-2009, 12:56 PM

it was built several years ago when the fender vents were the in thing, i dont like them either

i have thought about those, are you getting rid of them?

**lowazzcord** · 10-13-2009, 01:57 PM

if you still want to do the 5 lug yota swap, my buddy has cando tubular upper and lower control arms with yota uniball balljoints for a hardbody with yota spindels, and a yota rearend for around 900. but you can make an offer

i dont plan on it, but anything is possible. i do have other wheels for the truck. i paid $200 for mine, but a few months later i bought a set on craigs for $100 plus a set of 17" steel titans.{steel look cool painted black/ratrod look but heavy} Then i sold them for $200 a month later. Easy to get good deals if your patient and seach alot. you have to bore them out just like your eskie wheels, unless your hubs have been machined. mine are bored out, so basically if your hubs are machined my wheels wouldn't work for you anyway.

**mchschase27** · 10-13-2009, 06:02 PM

my brother used to have one of these.

nice.

my wheels dont look like they have been bored out. i think i may just have longer studs.

**Bud** · 10-13-2009, 08:35 PM

truck is jam up. i want a hardbody so bad. keep up the good work and def keep updated.

**boostedb16** · 10-13-2009, 08:47 PM
