Dude I hate to say it but......Neverlift needs a Lift ! Those look way to tight for that truck.

I like the Tires with the nobbies and all ....kinda like a Mickey Thompson's Off Road style.

It has a small lift (cranked torsions). There are not any options for lift kits for the truck. Saving up for the Dixon brothers long travel kit.

Surprisingly the tires only rub a tiny bit on the driverside inner fender. Nothing a little trimming won't fix.

I really hate having an irresponsible room mate. Why should it be my responsibility to cover someone elses part of the bills because they went out and spent too much money?

I am going to get fiberglass 6" extended fenders due to the long travel adding 9"(4.5" per side) of track width. The rear bedsides kinda stuck with those right now due to them being bolt on and cant pull them for extra width.

I would charge him interest or have him Pawn something ! That's BS....tell him to grow up and be responsible.

Tell him Obama won't bail his A$$ out for over spending.

Hi Guys,

I will be a newcomer to the area. Some of you might have seen me posting but if not here is my formal intro. My name is Jeremiah, go by James for work. I drive an 03 PPW Touring, that I am building and hoping to have finished before I move there in September. I will be in the FW area (Haslet) so hopefully I will get to meet some of you guys. I work for one of the vendors on here, but I am not here to get sales, as I do not cover this market haha. I just wanted to say hey and hope to become friends and be apart of DFW 350z scene.

^^The dude with the fancy coils...

Welcome bro.. looks like you have some fun projects underway. Look forward to seeing you put them toys to use..

btw - there is a drift scene and auto-x so the question is - are your cars for show or for go?

Haha....

Appreciate it man...Yea I have something to keep me busy and to have fun.

I would be more the Auto-x/ Road race type honestly. I'll go to any event though. And of course, What's the point of putting time and money in your car just to let it sit and look purty haha.

I like having fun...and seeing others in the rearview(hopefully haha)

Welcome Jeremiah, or James or JJ ??? .....Haha just pokin' fun since you said people at work called you James, but you introduced yourself as Jeremiah, and you signed your post JJ. So which is it ??? because around here we'll call you you something you might not like ! Lol j/k

Anyways James we have a good bunch of people around the DFW area that stay fairly close to local events & whatnot....I'm glad your into some AutoX. We have a pretty good size group that go out to Mineral wells or TMS for some local events. I hope to see you out at one soon to introduce myself.

I know you mentioned Haslet as your new Home....I'm not too sure how many of the 350Z/G people are in the Ft. Worth area. Most of the peeps I know of personally are in the Dallas general area.....Carrollton, Flower Mound, Richardson, etc....But like I said, I will look forward to meeting you in the future at some point.
