Hey guys, I'll be bringing home an orange 08 Z71 crew cab tonight, so I figured I'd make one of these introductions. I'd like to start by commending you guys for such an awesome community. This will be my first truck, but I'm no stranger to the wrench. Also, this will be replacing my daily Civic and I have a 240sx as a project car.

Only question I have that I didn't see while doing all my research on these trucks is, what's the most common bolt/nut size used on these things? Thanks ahead of time!

Almost forgot, I know you guys like pictures so I'll try to post some in here by tomorrow.

Exactly. For example, I can damn near rip apart my entire Nissan with a 10,13, and 17mm socket.

Welcome!
I hope you have a 10mm socket!
I do indeed! Are these trucks mostly metric? That'd be a very welcome surprise.

Welcome sounds like you got yourself a badass truck. What's the motor size on em?
Thank you. If you're talking about the Colorado, it's the 3.7l. The Honda's got a 1.7 and the 240 a 2.0 turbo.

Thanks much

Welcome to the forum!

More pictures of your 240! Do you have an S14? or S13?

(I have an S14 with a Kouki front end)

Thanks! Love Kouki fronts on an S14.
Here's my S13 at a local AutoX a couple months ago

And at an attempt to redeem that parking lot picture, I went and drove through a trail down the street from me in the truck.
