Thanks mate - was good fun too!! A bit rough and ready, but tough as and functional - you can stand on those bars and they are going nowhere!! Slight overkill on the design possibly!! lmao

Righto - over to you all - Tank is your canvas ... I'm going to have a lash at something (anything! lol) to replace the alloy step, but go from bracket to bracket on the bars to cover the chassis rails ... need to be able to put the trailer plugs on it in a protected fashion, but have a think of what you reckon would look good.

From there, you as a forum decide the best design, and I'll have a lash at building it and then whack a stainless plate on it with the words "Dedicated to the NissanPatrol.com.au Forum" engraved into it!!!!

Sound like a plan??? Got to have fun with these things really!!! LOL

If you're up for it - we'll do it!! I'll start a new thread for it though so this one doesn't fill with banter!! LMFAO!!!

Are the nuts welded into place inside the chassis rails where you've boldt your new bar work on to?????? If so you could always weld on a U - shaped piece on the vertical plate on your bars, would cover up the holes nicely.......................... sounds like you're pretty keen to get shot of the ally step though, so I'll shut up now hahahahahaha

Hey Scotty, nice job on the bar wings mate. look a treat. Your GQ looks real shiny too mate, nice unit.

If i may, my only thoughts on you wings are that they look like they stick out a little too much too each side mate and kinda make the back end look really wide? Could be just me or the pic but because you went around your panels they are that much wider rather than snug up under the 1/4 chops. All good though mate. Looks a treat.

I will reply to your Trim thread for centre ideas mate.

Cheers MR
