Very nice, I like the way it hugs the body real high and tight. Although, I think you could have made it a little beefier! LOL!

Great job! That is one sweet Nissan...

I like how you engineered the 1/4 panel supports, like a slider. Are you going to use machinist screws to secure the plates to the bottom of the frame?

Thanks guys!

I originally had the side-boom brace just sitting independant of the bumper brace and if I put the side-boom down on a rock it might flex up but the frame would stop it. After looking at it I just said what the heck and welded it all up. That bottom plate will just be an emergancy stop.

Tire carrier is on hold till I evaluate the style I want a little more.

Fall projects include 1/4 panel protection and grinding out the holes on the passenger side a little to drop that section of the bumper. During fabrication that side ended up a little higher.

Trust me when I say it's beefy! Thing weighs like 80# or more.

Looks great, I really like how you trimmed the Q-panels to get the extra clearance, clarence. HAHA!
