Looks good man. Ever thought about painting your whole grille black? Did you ever get your bodylift off? I ended up just loosening the Radiator, shortening the hoses and removing my fan shroud.

Yo-

Whats that logo on the back of the bed? That just the Nismo sticker? There are also 2 hooligans behind your truck in that pic, you should just back over them

I have not thought of doing that. Its been neon green, camo, white... Ive always painted it to match my accessories. Blackout would be nice. I have not had time to do anything to it this spring. Tomorrow i part with it for 2 1/2 more weeks; then its on.

Thats the McNeil Racing sticker. I only put it on for the ladies. I should have but the drive to San Diego wold have been too boring alone. Thats out near Barstow and route 66.

do you have spacers

im sorry i should elaborate it looks like your front is wider than mine on level ground. but then again i dont have fenders.

 

[Navara Oz]

Were do you get the fenders from and do they just bolt on like the OEM fenders do? Do the standard rims fit onto the titan swap ok?

In some of the pictures i do have 1.5" spacers in the front but have removed them. Adding 12.5" wide tires and the offset of Procomp rims increased my front end width to fit the 6" bulge fenders.

I have to say that is a SICKEST looking truck i have seen on this site. Were do you get the fenders from and do they just bolt on like the OEM fenders do? Do the standard rims fit onto the titan swap ok?

Thank you! The fenders are from Hanneman fiberglass in southern California. They do not bolt on. You will have to trim and drill your own holes in the fiberglass to fit them up right. Fiberglass body panels are a PITA and take many modifications. As long as you keep the frontier hubs and spindles; any rim that works without the titan swap will work with it.

How much lift have you got up front(minus BL) and how much lift did you get just out of the 4wd titan swap?

My thought is 4" since i stacked spacers on top of the coilovers. Without the spacers it was a small lift like 2".

 

[the007forum]

body lift is off! Still have alot more work to do but at least its back on the road. Thats a 4"/2" suspension lift on 35" tires!

 

[the007forum]

Thanks Beef. Getting the armor fitted back up is my next goal. Pictures with my phone suck. I did some custom graphics on the back panel because the paint was real shoddy from the winter. I think it looks dank in real life. Its more of a blood red over a semigloss black.

Did you cover up certain spots or fling paint at it? The McNeil looks great.

Did you cover up certain spots or fling paint at it? The McNeil looks great.

Its a very long and complicated process.
1.I painted the fenders black in the middle of winter without doing any prep work.
2. The paint began peeling off and chipping where rocks were thrown up.
3. used pressure washer to get all weak black paint off
4. sprayed over fenders with metallic red so that everywhere black paint was missing would appear red.

My rock defense skin. I will be painting the rear black this weekend after some fun.

Subframe mount bent at LCA Rear bolt causing it to slide right 1/2"

 

[the007forum]

I lied. Hemi-Orange for the win.
