Looks great Darren, Flares, barwork and wheels all look in proportion, so with luck they won't stick out too much on the road for Mr Plod. Great job with the entire build, total credit to you.
What a beast!
:jawdrop:
Are you going to drive it on the road during normal hours or is it a night time sneaky local only machine?

To be honest i am a little anxious. Let me get it out local away from the back yard. Get used to what it looks like in the bush and on the road. Im a little close to it.Quote:

Mud flaps fully removable in 1 minute with replaceable bracing in their place. Stoked with them. The brain child for this evolved from seeing how @MB removes his rear guards on his ute. Stoked.

Whats good about the quality of your build is that it does not look like some redneck piece of crap and whilst it is definitely 'bigger' in many dimensions, its pretty much in proportion. It certainly would get a second glance from Mr Plod, however 'maybe' sneak thru except at a road stop. I mean, there is nothing 'unsafe' about it as it stands, just out of original spec.
What a Great day. Love this Kid!

So after noticing the GQ sitting on an angle in the back yard I noticed yet another flat tyre. That counts 4 flat tyres for a single day trip!!! That's Nuts!!!
So bit the bullet and bought 17x8 neg13 steel bead locks yesterday.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/81.jpg
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/82.jpg
I got them from Huntsman Products via eBay. I have been watching them for ages bit bit the bullet. Was a little worried about quality but actually really impressed with these. Heavy. Thick. Good kit.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/84.jpg
I got a quote at $100 a wheel to fit and 3 days to fit!!! Nah bugger that. I got this.
Balancing beads will save me having to pay to get them spun up.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/86.jpg
Time to strip the Traps off the steel rims. Holy shit!! What a task!
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/87.jpg
This tool made it a little easier
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/88.jpg
Once the bead was broken the tyre pliers got a work out!!
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/89.jpg
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/06/90.jpg
Then throw in the beadlock and line it up.

For those playing along at home. The rattle gun helped ALOT!!!! Rattle up in a star show over and over agind to pull it down before the torque wrench does the final stage.
