    Looking GREAT, man! That Nissan paint is a very strange color. It looks almost mil-spec in a civilian sort of way, if you get my drift. I like it!

    Thanks, all. I'm not sure what tires I'mn going with yet. Been kinda looking at STA superlugs.(?)
    It is strangely OD, but in the sun it has the glitter of a metallic.
    I'll post more when I get the front finished.

    The bigger the better, tires of course. I just think the largest tire you can stuff in there without rubbing looks the best.

    Question for you fng. The front turn signals are they mounted to the stock sheet metal spacers with the front holes cut so they fit, or did you make a thicker spacer for them to mount onto? I am planning on the same turn signals and my trial fit told me they were going to interfere with the hole size.

    I don't know what Chris did. But, I know the M35 style composite lights need to be spaced a little to fit the stock M715 hole. I used 1" longer bolts and a 5/8" nut for a spacer on my truck when I was running that style and we did the same when we installed those kind of lights on Pistolnuts M715.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    6.2 powered M715, 5 M1009's, M416, 2 M101's, 2 M105's, 3 M35's, M1007 6.5 turbo Suburban project called Cowdog.

    Hey there Bog. I didn't even think of using spacers...hmfff! I did use a sharpie to trace around the light cases onto the facia where they would interfere. Then I very carefully relieved the facia with an angle grinder and a dremel tool. With the angle grinder...finesse' is the key! But I used the stock hardware, mounted them flush with the inner facia support and now they look more recessed and fitted. I really like how they turned out. (I guess I have to now that thier done since I didn't think to use spacers...duhhhh.)
    I can go take a few photo's if you'd like to see how they turned out.
