Hi, Would like to see pictures, or videos, of mini trucks next to 'regular' sized cars or trucks for size comparison. Please post or link them if you can. Thank you
I took this pic the day I brought my Suzuki home, 6 months ago, next to the Admirals Jeep and my Honda Fit.
Taken next to a small Wildland Fire Engine, so I could share how small it is to a couple of folks I know.
Wow, that's what I am talking about. Impressive that such as small vehicle is capable of so much. Thanks for the pictures.
I took my Suzuki to a causal car show at a local burger joint last Friday. I got there kind of late and the only space left open to park was next to a beautiful, fully restored vintage Mack truck. It kinda gives you a perspective of the wide range of whats available when you say "I drive a truck"... I doubt he would have been able to see me on the road if I was driving right in the blind spot in the front of his truck !
I'm putting a 2" lift on to get ready for a plow. I will see if I need heavier springs once I get a plow. It looks like I will be putting a Blackline Solutions on, the hydraulic version.
It was sagging pretty good with the plow on before the spring change. I cut the springs to be similar to the ride height before the change. It is about 1/2” higher and the plow brings it down less than an inch now. I have only plowed three times since I got it and the most was about 7”. It did very well. I just couldn’t justify the price of the Blackline. I found this one locally on EBay for a very nice price. It was brand new in 4 boxes, but about 4 years old. They never got around to installing it.
You will need to upgrade the springs. The blackline is a heavy plow. I ended up with a set of variable rate springs 150 to 450-lbs/inch, from one of the race shops made to fit onto coil over shocks. Rides ok, when unloaded, and still have some suspension travel with the plow on.
I am digging your 1964 Datsun 320 truck. I had a Toyota truck about that same year but didn't keep it. Not mine but similar to the one I had. Mine was much rougher.
