Lookin' good!

 

Would love to see what some 15x8.5" tridents would look like on this..

[Styles]

Contact Brdflu on here for Nissan bits.... he may be able to help with a new 'stat housing.

Nice looking truck!

620's fucking rule.

[Jordon KE...]

Sweet, cheers man. Haha haven't even thought about wheels for this yet... Tridents would probably look alright

[Jordon KE...]

went for stock wheels painted haha, nice and cheap and i quite like the look. what is peoples opinion on fiberglass panels?

[RUNAMUCK]

Hey I haven't forgotten about that steering box.

I still need to pick up the cubic shit ton of spare parts from the guy I bought my donor truck off.

Might not be this side of the jolly fat cunt coming though.

But it should happen over the break.

[Jordon KE...]

That's all good, I might be able to repair mine but need to set up the shaft in the lathe to be able to fit a new bearing.

[Jordon KE...]

Anyone know of any well side trays around? Look of them is so much nicer

[Goat]

Wellside would rule.

 

Yeah, there will be fitment issues. But will take a fraction of the time to rejig the mounts instead of fixing the rust there would be on a 2nd hand one here. If you can even find one....

[Jordon KE...]

Cool its confirmed that next shipment leaves in 4 months and there will be a well side for a 620 that needs it (mine). i'm happy about this 

[Jordon KE...]

So along with a well side i also wanted to look into wheel choices. I love Hayashi streets (thanks Joe/goat) and thought it would be awesome to run them on a 620. but damn they dont make them in 6 stud, oh wait they do!!  http://www.hayashiracing.com/whee04sth/index.html

 

But not for an affordable price, what do you guys think about running adaptors to 5 stud and running 5 stud streets? 

[Goat]

Pretty much get these:

 

And do this:

[Jordon KE...]

Got the wellside on the way but forgot to ask about flares. Should be here in September so will be able to fit it before Xmas

[Bistro]

hmmmm 5 stud Streets are pretty rare too (and thus $$$), esp in a decent size.

 

I'm not so sure on getting a new wellside and then butchering it with flares hah. I think it would be best to find something that fits within the standard guards...although, they are a funny guard that don't really lend themselves to wide as reyums.

I have some 15x8.5 6stud tridents you can use to mock up if you like. possibly a bit wide tho.. but we can see!!

[Jordon KE...]

Would be awesome to have a look at it with those tridents. ill let you know when its wof'd. Yeah i'm 50/50 on the flares. Joe has some so will just have a look at what it looks like and decide... look at that dish! ^^

[kyteler]

Makes it look like a big B110 Ute. I don't like it. Prefer the lamps to be underneath, looks way cleaner that way.

HOWEVER!

It's still better than any flat-deck or step-side.

[Jordon KE...]

yes i agree with that. not as nice as original but better that no wellside. 

I'm going through API, are there any other importers? 

[j.e.d.]

I don't know anything about these ute's specifically, but the white wellside looks 100% better than the green one, as the wheel arches match the fronts for a start. On the green one it doesn't look the same, but they're some pretty crappy photo's so not a good selling point by the supplier if he's trying to get you to go for the newer improved version..

[SiRge]

I like it, makes it seem like actual tail lights. Just my opinion but I hate it when guys put like LED strip stuff on, as sacrilege as putting chrome Altezza style anything. Makes baby jesus cry.
