Center Support Bearing and U-Joint | D21 Ep. 6

In this episode on the Nissan D21 build series I will be taking care of my drivetrain issue.

Both the center support bearing and the front-most U-joint were completely destroyed. There’s only a handful of tools you need for this job, the only unique on...

Custom Guitar Neck Key Holder | One Day Builds Ep.1
Переглядів 1034 роки тому
I was tired of seeing my keys laying on my desk and one day I looked at my old guitar neck I had laying around for months and thought to make it into something useful. This project was very fun and useful with only about $15 worth of hardware. I did make the mistake of drilling the first two holes right where the truss rod is mounted so I used those holes for smaller screws. If you enjoyed this...

Welcome back to my custom electric guitar build. I built this guitar with $170 including the price of the guitar. In this episode I will be stamping a portrait to the guitar's head.

Nice truck
nsecure
stop modding
How lifted is the truck
Any updates on your truck?
Where did you get that red speedometer needle? I have a 1992 D21 with the infamous bent (from heat and age) white speedometer needle, that I need to replace.
Great content keep it up dude. Smashed that notification bell to keep up with the Baja build
This comment almost as good as the video
Thanks dude 😌
Nggyfgt😥
Where does the black connector with the purple go @ 5:18
so sick man! where'd you get that wheel? looking to get one for my whip haha
Amazon! Not available anymore tho :(
Where can I order a dash and parts for my d21?
I picked everything myself from a junk yard! Ebay would be your next best option
Spoiler alert... you didn't have to hack up those fender flares. The right thing to do would be to remove, re-index, and THEN crank up your front torsion bars to raise the front end. I gained 3 inches up front and paired it with slightly longer Rancho shocks... Sway Away torsion bars are a nice upgrade as well. Better spring rate. I'd have swapped on 4x4 fenders if you were going for a 4x4 look and left the flares alone (they'll clear). The beds are exactly the same on the 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive, so the only difference is the front Fenders... So you should have just gotten rear flares from a 4x4 pickup truck...
Okay, various points here, bare with me: 1. I did crank up the torsion bars, which I eventually reeled back a little since the ride was too stiff. Re-indexing is something I will look at 2. I found those fender flares for cheap at the local junk yard, they were in a Pathfinder hence the extra material on the ends. 3. The front flares were a bit problematic but I was on a budget and just wanted the truck to look more muscular. I dig your train of thought thought
hey man where did you buy the dashboard?
Got lucky! found it in near pristine condition sitting in a junk yard
Brother, I've got a '96 hardboy running on a TD27 inherited from ma old man on which I am doing an full upgrade so I can pass it later to my lil one😁🤣 New cab, new wheels, under carriage works and so forth. Please can I have an email of yours so I can get in touch and you could give me a few pointers on how it would be wise to go on with it
Very Inspiring idea! You should post about it!
I have the same mismatch wheels on my Nissan too 😂
I never noticed them until a few minutes after I installed them! lol
Sir where is the beep speaker my vhicle beep is always on 1993 nissan
Lol you can easily remove the switch on the door, disconnect it, and install the switch again so it looks normal
Ive got almost the same one for my 94 fixing to install
What were the original rim/tire size of the ones you took off in the beginning? Thanks man
205/65 R15 ☺️
Alguien me puede dar informacion de ese porta fusibles
Si necesitas uno te recomiendo ir al deshuesadero, así consigo la mayoría de mis partes
2wd?
Yes sir
How many miles on the new shocks? How do they feel. I'm replacing the shocks on my friends 97 hardbody. They ones on there look like factory.
I’ve driven on them about 3k miles, the truck has really still suspension now but the shocks do make the ride smoother
Is that a factory lift or aftermarket?
Neither, I had to add a leaf spring and tighten the torsion bars myself. Hard to find a good lift kit for 2wd D21s sadly :(
Do you remember the exact leaf springs you purchased? I'm looking for 1" lifted leaf springs for a 97 2wd but like you said they are difficult to find.
What tire size are you running?
Wheels are 16 inch. Tires are 235/75/R16
@@tunethetoy7225 thank you
Hey I got a balaclava and purple connection left also a blue one? Do you know what they may be for?
Couldn’t tell you myself, I would look up a diagram online in a D21 forum
love your hardbody videos bro, thinking of grabbing myself one soon
Very easy to work on and reliable trucks, they’re going up in price too!
@@tunethetoy7225 i’ll be looking at one sometime this week. i found one with 74k miles so i’m pretty excited!!!
@@tunethetoy7225 any common problems i should look out for?
The dashboard cracks and check the coolant and oil. These things leak a lot of oil but as long as you keep some inside the engine they run forever. Some dome light covers are hard to find so look out for them. Other than that make sure you get a manual transmission so you get the full experience :)
Very nicee🤙🤙
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey will your speedometer fit an 89? Yours is a 93 but I’m curious if it’d fit an 89
As far as I know there’s two types of speedos: the square one and the round one. Mine is the early square one it should fit the earlier models :)
@@tunethetoy7225 hey I know I asked you about your speedometer but I can’t find the white overlay type one for manual, is there any way you can give info on where I can it? Or who can make me one for manual?
@@tunethetoy7225 I have the orange overlay one but I can’t find anyone or any with a white overlay face
Where can i find the vent the door panel i need two (2)??
I grabbed it from the junkyard, not sure if you’ll find some on eBay...
@@tunethetoy7225 Cant find any at all could you help me find some.
Im curious to where you got your cluster ?
Came with the truck! It’s the early model square dashboard one
🔥🔥🔥
Super good man, inspiring!!
I appreciate that!
I have a 96 hardbody. Its not a 4×4 so I kept it low.. Street cruiser. Good work man 👍
One of the hardest and most time consuming steps of a rebuild is the cleaning and preparation, here I show you how I took on that challenge. Subscribe to stay Tuned, it's free! ;)
Nice work! What’s the trick to removing the glove box?
Mine had two plastic pins on the bottom, which act as the hinge, that I rotated a bit, much like an old door lock, and they wiggle right out.
No quema cuh
Where's the solo thou?
Sick steering wheel!
Niceeee 👌
Thanks 🤗
Greta vid 👌
what tire size and size rims you got ?
Wheels are 16 inch. Tires are 235/75/R17
@@tunethetoy7225 R16 or R17?
@@CristobalJavilla He literally told you
@@TWIRKNOLOVE You can't put R17's on 16" wheels... thus the question...
My fault! R16 it is
Awesome! Looks more off road ready with all the mods that you did. What type of paint did you use for the leaf springs and shackles?
Believe it or not that was how I got them off the junkyard, must be factory maybe?
@@tunethetoy7225 interesting, in the video they looked non painted. I was curious if you had resprayed the parts to touch them up or protect them from corrosion. I ask also because when I replaced my leaf springs I got them new instead of used, and now they are starting to rust in some spots. I think I will go the same route as you and pick up some leafs from another 4wd Hardbody or something similar, to do my own add a leaf spring kit. But when I do I will respray them all in order to preserve my big investment. When I first got my D21 the rear leafs on the passenger side snapped on me on the road.
@@BLKSTONE4WD It seems that a few rattle cans would be a good investment for ya! I am unfortunate enough to live in drought valley so rust is never a concern, however my driver's side leafs are a bit squeaky even though the teflon plates looked fine. Looking forward to your next upload!
@@tunethetoy7225 yeah definitely will have to rattle can em'! My rust issues have gotten a little worse through out the truck since where we live there is a little more moisture in the air. Thanks a lot bro I will deliver as promised on my YT page. When I upload the update video I will explain why I haven't uploaded and where the direction of the channel is going. I'll give you a small inside I just got my tags & registration finally from the DMV yesterday! So expect an upload sooner, I think you will like the video I have in store for all D21 & Pathfinder owners Let's just say it's a K&N upgrade (not a air filter)
@@tunethetoy7225 maybe a little bit of hi temp grease on those teflon plates might do the trick! Just a small thought.👍🏼
Good job with all the repair and customization. Really like the personality you put into your hardbody. You should list the stuff that you used in the description bro, good luck look forward to more episodes.👍🏼
I appreciate your input! Parts installed are listed and my tools are just cheap Harbor Freight junk ;)
@@tunethetoy7225 thanks, awesome!
How’s it going?!! Just subbed to your channel. Have you thought about using smzeus . c o m to get your video higher in the search??
omg arnoldo you did such a good job at handling your composure on that move mate great job
Thanks a lot!
ik you got shifting problems now huh!
Shifts much smoother now!! Still need flush some more
Hello, your truck looks great, where did you buy the seat covers? The ones on my D21 seat covers are very worn. Thanks for your help.
