i had nt with max offset rims and twin locked never broke a axle,changed it to wt with 15by8 sunnys not max offset with twin lockers drove it the same and broke axles front and rear
in my beliefs nt is stonger and u can pic up diffs very cheap for them
when it was nt with max off set rims it was 4 inchs wider than a wt with sunnys,and stronger
I've only ever had WT's… 1990 and 1995
I can't give a realistic point of view as I've never owned or driven a NT.
But I'm sure 'WT' or 'NT' track 'modded' or 'unmodded' I'd still be happy.
In the future I'll be looking for another zook, for a bit of a project. I don't think that I'll be too concerned whether it's a WT or NT. Just as long as it's pretty straight and not too much rust.
they are some good points guys but still not definitely which is better WT or NT but this is still a new thread so ill wait and see what others have to say as well.

WTF? How many people do you need to say NT with WT diffs is the best combination?
Oh, and Joshnz1, where do you think the extra strength is in the NT stuff? It's identical but for the width as far as I can see.

thats what i thought aswell light have someting to do with not being aswide so the axle dosent twist as much and puts extra strain on the cv or axle im not sure i was just sayin that i think nt is stronger as i never broke nt stuff only broke wt stuff
There is a never ending parts list for them e.g transfer gears, panels brakes, diffs, easier 1.6 conversions,(depends if its a 1.3nt) etc etc
Nt are getting old/rare.
Yeah u can mod a nt so its a wt. But thats why suzuki made it? Correct? But i know bout the spring spacing, thats a simple fix, offset wheels and/or spacers. Most people dont go over 31"s anyway
Also depends what you are doing with it, Comp Truck? go nt, they would be abit cheaper, you would be putting bigger diffs in it anyway.
i just find they seem to not sit in wheel ruts, which is a huge advantage as you can perch a tyre ontop and one in the rut and not get diffed out. My brother tries it in his SWB WT and diffs out as he sits in the ruts.

I tend to dissagree with your parts bit....... The transfer cases are the same just different flanges! Takes 10 minutes tops to change em..... And most parts are exactly the same and an engine conversion would be the same because the only difference with the body is the flares are bigger?
Built swb sierra, building a lwb sierra ute and have a dmax for family camping
And tyre clearance, and easier RUF and a nicer dash etcetcetc.

Yes but you are comparing apples and oranges.
Most people would have read this post as WT or NT 1.3 sierra. Very few people prefer the 1 litre NT these days. I'm still a sucker for the little 4banger
explain this one. I have a 1995 WT stockman/maruti ute and fitted my offset f100 mags to it and they stick out at least three inches past the flares compared with sitting just shy of the lip on my last w/t.
? wtf smaller flares (look the same) wt diffs with nt body ?
i cant figure it out
