sweet build

So I haven't made much progress for two weeks but now that I can roll it back to my carport I should get something done. Sorry for the blurry pics, I don't know whats up with my camera.

Newb question here, but what mods did you do to get the 6lug on the chassis? Does the entire knuckle swap over?

The rear end is a 4wd unit from the same body style so it was a direct bolt in, the front is just 2500 light duty rotors (6 instead of 8). I'm using 92+ drop spindles; 88-91 regular cab spindles/rotors are different.

Sweet, so just the light duty rotors in the front. I'm going to assume that you installed new bearings/seals? Did the front calipers get re-used? How much did that rear end set you back? Sorry for all of the questions, but I'm really wanting the newer style wheels.

Regards,
Jose

thought the 4wd rear ends where wider than the 2wd's? i could be wrong tho

You're correct they are about 3" wider from what I've found, but most of the late model wheels have a +31mm offset so it should "cancel it out". I'm just figuring it out as I go and won't know if this is all gonna work until the body is on.

Well I haven't made any huge progress, had a few snags that have held me up; mainly getting sent the wrong torque converter and having to fix some stripped threads. Once3 I get the new converter in I can bolt up the transmission and work on the exhaust, got the x-pipe in today also got the 17"s in.

What do you plan to do with the wheels you have in the picture above(the one with the frame)? I'm guessing they are 18?

Love the Kawi. I do miss my '04 ZX-10R. Sure was fast.

20" actually. My brother was wanting to buy them for a yukon he plans to get, but if he decides he doesn't want them then I'll probably throw them on craigslist.

I've rode an '05 a few times and that thing was crazy quick. My 1400 is a big bitch but fast once you get moving.
