Coxey, why not give it a body lift before you do the bars and sliders. The position of these items will change when a lift goes in.
And don't say" I'm not going to ever run big tyres so don't need a lift", because we all know, eventually everyone has big tyres on a nissan.

yeah and make it a ute before you body lift it that way you only need 6 spacers not 8

saving some money there

The photos may be deciving, but isnt it a little wide?? Looks as though it could have 100mm cut out of either side.

You are not hitting stuff, you are just molding your front end bits into a more aerodynamic shape....

Its massive, looks like you are going on a combat mission of sorts.

dixie · Post by **dixie** » Sun Jul 29, 2007 5:20 pm

Hey Dude,lookin good Yeah I found when I built my bar it protruded out similiar to yours, it is a deceiving pic but my one bent back nicely(with a 20Ton digger :lol:

)and tied in well with the side bush bars.

I never did get ya those pics of my bar...... :roll:

my bad, you onviously sorted it out.

coxsy · Post by **coxsy** » Sun Jul 29, 2007 5:37 pm

never mined dixie thought of that idea of a plate mount like yours then went for a full piece of plate instead when i put the side bars on will have to curve them a bit to meet the front bar butshould be a strong joint anyway
