Armada On The Ground Juiced With 26s

This is a very cool truck...my brother's business partner. Nissan Armada cut to lay on 26s. The independent rear suspension was swapped out for a solid rear axle. If you notice, it has a Watt's link and a cantilever setup. Instead of running accumulators in the rear, the hydraulic cylinders lift the rear and it rides on off-road coilovers. Pretty f-in' unique.

Obviously it's not done, but a little taste:

  this is my 1st choice for an suv right here.  :biggthumpup:  gotta respect the custom work for sure.  might actually look better if the side steps were off but , i bet they make for good dragging material.   man, i miss playing with trucks.:sad:

where's his center caps? Man all the cars they do look great! Keep up the good work

NICE!  two seater armada.

The seats will go in again once the rear is tubbed.

I soooooo want hydros. Just seems to be the best option to me. Ride as low as you want with the ability to 4x4 as well.

Yeah, it is the best of both worlds in my opinion :biggthumpup:

I'm not hatin'...I'm :pat: for you calling it a bagged truck =)

o boy trucks are for offroading there sir, definetly not my style at all but you know props and all that for doing what one likes.

Of course to each their own. The Armada is cool but the wheels are not my style. Damn I need a custom watts link for the van.

^glad you appreciate the work into it :biggthumpup:

it took me like 3 minutes to figure out wtf was going on. cantilever setups were the new s**t about the time i stopped paying attention to trucks. cantilever + hyro + coilovers!!! i don't think they're ready for this one. how crazy is the lift?

yeah blk
the engineering in that is fucking outstanding. i love it

whats he dropped on?

Cool truck, but he got solid rear axle and that's why he is running Watts link but still pretty neat setup.

That is some serious susspension work , That W210 is sick not a fan of the wheels , but shit is hella low

[QUOTE=jdmpalace;295181]Cool truck, but he got solid rear axle and that's why he is running Watts link but still pretty neat setup.[/QUOTE]

He did a solid rear for two reasons:


[LIST=1]
[*]He wants to ride dumped in the rear and not have excessive camber wear
[*]The truck is going to be trailing items to shows
[/LIST]

Hydroholics 2 pump 6 dump setup.

solid axle might be in for flex+clearance when he's out on the trail :yahoo_24: .


what'd be really cool is 35" TSL super swampers on some beadlocks and still tucking hahaha that's if the fox's really aren't just there for show...

hydros FTW everytime

Should be on 28s :biggthumpup:

I bet it looks real mean in person!
