Yes, Nissan\u2019s factory pre-runner truck was in Clint\u2019s driveway just a few years ago, really high off the ground with a funky blue color. It was neat for a while, but seriously, Clint doesn\u2019t go for what regular people do. He couldn\u2019t leave the truck stock, that\u2019d be too\u2026 normal.<\/p>\n<p>He wanted to reduce the daylight underneath the truck, and knew it wasn\u2019t going to be an easy task. After searching far and wide, he came across Kevin Blysdale from Just Plain Trick in Mesa, Arizona. Kevin\u2019s not a normal guy either, and he\u2019s pretty handy with a plasma cutter and a welder. It was a match made in heaven.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Line-X-Bed-liner.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10887]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10991\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Line X Bed liner\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Line-X-Bed-liner.jpg\" alt=\"Line-X, Rhino liner, bed liner, shaved, bed\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Line-X-Bed-liner.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Line-X-Bed-liner-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Line-X-Bed-liner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Line-X-Bed-liner-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The factory suspension is based off the 4X4 Frontier, so that had to go. Kevin cut off the front clip like it was nothing and in its place installed a front frame section from a \u201994 Nissan Hardbody. After that, all of the crossmembers were raised up, and the rear end was swapped for a \u201997 Hardbody axle. Now it was time to get this thing on the ground like it needed to be.<\/p>\n<p>Up front, a set of 2-inch dropped spindles were paired with Slam Specialties bags to get the new front crossmember on the concrete. Kevin then built a custom 4-link to attach the new axle to the frame, then bridged and bagged the back half. Now the truck was laying frame and good to go, right? Nope. Clint wanted to go lower.<\/p>\n<p>Out came the sawzall and the next few months were a blur. The truck was bodydropped 3.25 inches, the interior was done in black tweed and zebra print, and then the body was fully shaved and prepped for paint. Now the only question was, what color?<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zebra-print-and-tweed-interior.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10887]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10992\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Zebra print and tweed interior\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zebra-print-and-tweed-interior.jpg\" alt=\"Animal print, billet, tweed, pink\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zebra-print-and-tweed-interior.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zebra-print-and-tweed-interior-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zebra-print-and-tweed-interior-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Zebra-print-and-tweed-interior-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We asked Clint at our shoot that very question. \u201cDude, this is a sick color, but what made you pick pink?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clint turned to us, looked up from under his bowler hat and said, \u201cPink is my favorite color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, he\u2019s different alright.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting truck not only breaks stereotypes but also looks cool as well.
