Now that's what I like to call a custom paint job! :mocking:

Looks good and looks like fun!

Careful wheeling/mudding with those steprails on. They aren't very sturdy for much more than your body weight. They can fold really easy. I used to take mine off before I went wheeling and then put them back on. It's a total of 8 bolts for both sides and you can drop 'em in about 15 minutes.

Oh and you did take off your rear swaybar right? Do a search on rear sways if you are wondering why I ask.

Outside of that and me being mr. nitpicky... lol Looks like you had a good time! Keep it up!

the sway bar itself bagns into the pass rear shock body causing damage to the shock, its poor design on nissan's part

also, you can rip one of the clamps(that hold it to the axle) off, i have done it before

The best thing to do with your rear sway is to take it off... and make a windchime out of it. :)

You won't miss it, we promise.

its either that or later on he will come back and say one of his shocks failed due to the sway-bar gouging every time he flexed.. LOL
