  3. https://www.autopartsearch.com/catalog-6/vehicle/nissan-datsun/1986/nissan-pickup/transfer-case-assembly Yeah, I know how rare as hens teeth those are now. BUT, just last week when I posted that row52 there was one in Phoenix AZ. Gone now. Actually there are some out there but you may have to go out of state for Nissan Xfer cases. Don't overlook Nissan D10, 620 trucks.
  4. Silver polishing creams & pastes work well on plastics also, without buying the kits. https://www.amazon.com/Wrights-Silver-Cleaner-Polish-Aluminum/dp/B000KKIKOS I've used Wrights cream polish after successively finer grits of sandpaper to resurface plexiglass after cutting to shape.
  5. You might even find a 4 cyl 94 Chevy S10 truck one barrel throttle body & make an adapter plate, use a mag pickup EA distributor & lock the advance, TBI harness & 7747 ECM from a small block V8 90-91 Chevy truck. Add a 4 wire heated O2 sensor in exhaust wired to relay power/ign started. Get map sensor, ignition module & coil, etc from the 94 S10. Strip down harness to basics, tie both injector pigtails in parallel. Single barrel, single injector. https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/chevy/432269-working-stock-tbi-harness-conversions-picture-intensive.html There is far more support for modding GM V8 ECMs on forums like Gearhead EFI for remapping the prom. Its been done many times. Data logging first after you get it running: http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Injection/showthread.php?7559-1991-chevy-dually-chip http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Injection/forumdisplay.php?25-Old-School-EFI http://www.gearhead-efi.com/gm-ecm-pcm-conversion/tbi-efi-conversion.html Example, a TBI converted Toyota 4X4: https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/toyota-truck-4runner/895975-22r-tbi.html And on Binder planet: http://www.binderplanet.com/forums/index.php?threads/toyota-22r-gm-tbi.116623/
  6. Suzuki Samurai, 1984-88 Nissan720 PU King Cab, etc 4x4. Yup, solid mounts from center section of rear mustache bar of an older 240Z, 200sx, front mounts AND save front R180 diff + axles from 720 PU in flavor of your choice like 3.90 R&P or 4.11 R&P. Or fab your own solid mount. Just a plate with 2 holes welded to lower X-member at the right height. On 720 Nissan PUs VIN plate is on passenger side of engine compartment. Lower RH corner has diff info. RB39 or RB41 is what you're looking for Nissan used RC for R200 diffs & RB for R180 diffs in most '80s-'90s vehicles. https://row52.com/home
  7. Likewise, I made my own tool for the job. All tool steel, 2 pieces welded together. Big wrench handle to apply a BFH to when needed.
  8. https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/20721-solid-axle-lifted-subaru/ https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/135063-2nd-transfercase-rigs/ There's other on here looking to do the same thing bratman18, like alexbuoy. And myself later after EJ conversion is finally done. Already have a Nissan Xfer case & driveshafts. There's a thread somewhere here in past that talks about moving lower x-member forward 2 inches.
  9. Of course there are no pictures anymore. You have to remember how many times USMB forum has been revamped over the years.
  10. From a few yrs ago... https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/22732-t-case-lift-faq-transfer-case-questions-answers/ Search some build threads from members above link - you may find what you need to know.
  11. So, the forward lower links maintain the toe-in in vertical compression travel & lengthening them causes toe-out in compression? Makes sense that a shorter arm would cause a smaller toe change moving in a shorter arc of angle.

    LED light bars

    Almost two years later and people are still adding to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hilp25Yfwj8 Think we're getting off the off-road lighting theme & dwelling on bad on-road driving manners. I've been blinded by inconsiderate oncoming vehicles too. Morons playing their "music" cranked up too loud driving past my house while I'm trying to sleep in So Cal was/is a huge pissoff for me. So are the fart-can exhaust systems. Hope they go deaf at an early age. Yet another good reason to live in a quiet rural area.
  13. +1. Had to replace sender on my 87 GL a few yrs ago for same reason.

    LED light bars

    Fellow drivers aren't the only thing in the roadways at twilight dawn or dusk nor late at night. I have had a couple near misses with bighorn sheep, elk & deer up in Troy MT area that made up my mind to add a light bar. Needed it driving thru ID along hwy 28 from Salmon ID to I-15. Pronghorn like to cross in herds there. BTW, LED light bar on my roof is curved to illuminate road sides. Road sides where the unexpected animals are. One elk cow is enough to cream a little Subie let alone a full size truck. 3 of 'em last time that happened. Added air horns too. Need those more often to get cell phone obsessed idiots to pull their heads out of their a$$es. Converted my 87 GL to 4 headlights some time ago. At first outers were 8000K HIDs but that didn't last long in So Cal with CHPs. Changed to LED outers but these are a single horizontal row of LEDs top with 2 LEDS more lit in center vertical on low beam. Made sure to aim them lower. Inner pair are halogen tied together with my halogen fog lights just below bumper, on a separate dash switch, an OEM foglight switch. I can drive at night with just halogens this way.

    Just don't drive in front of me after I get the 80 W CO2 laser installed...12 kV power supply functions as antitheft deterrent too

  17. alexbuoy, You mentioned you wanted to mount your Toyota 31 inch tires on your Brat while I was there Saturday. You may want to rethink going that tall a tire because you've already snapped one rear axle stub with smaller tires. Larger the tire the higher the reverse torque has to be overcome when you land after getting airborne. Of course if you air down to 10-15 psi it could help alot. Just a suggestion. czny

  20. Was it oxy-hydrogen plasma spray they used for buildup? Or electron beam deposition? Inquired about this 2nd method locally 2 yrs ago but they stated they wouldn't do it because of DOT regs & insurance liabilities. If for an off-road vehicle they might have done the work, only maybe tho.
  21. Nice score on those spaz cutters Dan. Where's your shield cup for the torch? Get a moisture filter for your air supply if you don't have one already.
  22. That coolant leak also poisons the cat converter & O2 sensor later on causing emission testing failures. I know that one from experience.
  23. That's fine Bennie. Nissan 720 4x4 PUs had 3.90, 4.11 & 4.37 ratios. 1984-88 Nissan 200SX had 4.11s. Was lucky to find one locally. Ring gear bolts are 10 mm in these early R180s so 12 mm bushings are needed to adapt to 2005 wrx sti LSDs. Check out hybridz forum. Edit: IIRC '82-'85 Nissan Maxima may have had R180 diff also
