You could do a sill chop as well and just weld some 6mm flat bar where the sills use to be. Its coming along nicely though keep up the work.

Yeah thanks nissannewby I was thinking about doing something similar to that.
The next thing I need to do is to find a flare I can put on and not rip off. And mudflaps. I am currently thinking of getting some flares made that bolt onto the side rather than underneath the wheel arch. Something similar to the flares off a wrangler.
Cheers!
great shots mate
Well been a while but time for an update on the rig.
She has a few more battle scars - but is still going strong.
I recently purchased a ste of 33" Bighorns, and also a set of 31" Allterrains for road tyres.
Finally finished my sliders
Bent a lower control arm - so replaced both with Racebred4wd Ones
Went 4bying
And discovered yesterday that the new bushes that i bought for my control arms (Just to clarify - these were not racebred4wd bushes) lasted 2 weeks and Are now completely stuffed! So I have to do the job again tomorrow :furious:
A few pics. - Gu is my dad, GQ ute and Rodeo are mates and Prado is mates cousins.
Cheers!
And a few more!
Cheers!
Well got the new bushes in, and took it for a test drive. Suffice to say It is now covered in mud. I have to wash it tomorrow morning.
But, on the plus side... washing it means that I didn't get defected tonight!!! YAY!!
I am not quite sure which way to go, as i think some other bushes are on their way out, and I am keen to replace them, but all the ones i have are the same crap ones that lasted 2 weeks in my lowers. So I'm not sure that I want to risk trying another set of rubber bushes, but I have heard that poly bushes give you less flex.
Thoughts?
Cheers!
Genuine bushes only mate. Get onto patrolapart or Nizzbits they are cheaper through them.
If you want nice cheap flares that last and are easy on the wallet go Bunnings Garden Edging. Looks awesome as well.

Are you able to post some pics of how you have attached the edging diesel-mate?
Copper didn't say a work about my flares last night though - he was just annoyed about the sheer volume of mud!
Genuine Nissan bushes.... I know that they are the best but still $$$$$$ which i don't have!!!!
Gotta love being an apprentice!
Cheers!

Well I took a grinder to the old girl today..... Still deciding if I will cut the rest off or leave it as a well body. Either way this is the beginning of a complete makeover.
Cheers
