Delicat's new ride! Nissan Safari

[jessef]

Very nice David .

Had time to engage the locker yet ?

[mararmeisto]

Excellent space management. Looking forward to seeing this next Sunday (if you can attend).

Can you believe I still haven't had a chance to lock the hubs yet!?! Beside regular work I've been busy re-landscaping my backyard and next is building both front and rear deck. (It's all my wife's idea...) I just figure if I get this done for her then I should be good to go for the rest of the summer! I was lucky to have Falco giving me a hand over the last few days!

And I should be good to go next Sunday, then it will be back to deck building. Hey, maybe we should go from Tomahawk to my deck after breakfast...

[delicat]

Still don't get nearly as much time to work on my truck as I'd want but this was as easy as it gets and makes for a nice face lift. Finally, I don't feel like I'm driving a city queen... I'll probably add a lift later on (2" to 4" max) but for now it drives fine and I like the "squatting sumo" look of it, fills the wheels arch nicely!

Here's a picture of the new rubber compared to the 30/9.5r15 that are currently on my Delica. Scary isn't it. And I went conservative... 255/85r16

Nice meats monsieur!

Right On!

[delicat]

Yup, pizza cutter at its best! 33.3" tall and only 10" wide...

[deLOOKA]

Wow! I love those rims!

Nice.

The KM2's are great on rock.

Nice ride! Safaris sure are The Sex... Too bad the US has such shite grey market import regs. At least I can get a late model L300 here in Taiwan.

[mdrive]

nice ride! always loved Safari.

[delicat]

It's been a long time since I did anything on my truck... this one was fast and cheap and I love the results! I've been diagnosed with a grinder addiction!

Cheers!

Are you trying to make it look like a Hummer?

I definitely agree that angle grinders are fun - I've only set fire to my engine bay a few times using one...

[Luna-Sea]

Awesome!
Going for that 120 degree approach angle I see!

Right On!

[Spearo]

Your car is my favourite vehicle on the planet right now! I love it.

Looks like the Safari you gave me a heads up on is sold. Too bad, I was very close to pulling the trigger.

^&%$#@ am I happy I don't own a grinder! Are you replacing that with a winch bumper, or just modding it?
