Ultimately, this was just a trial fitting. The bumper was there &[mention=37543]TowndawgR50[/mention] couldn’t help himself. Whoever the prior owner had weld it up did a mediocre job & made some mistakes in the mounting plate fitment. It would never have gone on without cutting, grinding, bending & welding (all by[mention=37543]TowndawgR50[/mention]). Also, it weighs 97# so @02_Pathy &[mention=32880]ferrariowner123[/mention] had to help muscle it up & hold it in place while he made fitment adjustments. It will need to come off for repainting and light & winch mounting - plus I’ll paint the seam, washer reservoir & intake resonators black. While it’s off,[mention=37543]TowndawgR50[/mention] wants to radius the corners & improve the welds (he’s a perfectionist & I’m gratefull). It does look good & I’m thankful to have it but I’ll probably switch it out once @pinestospines ([mention=36148]hawairish[/mention] &[mention=37543]TowndawgR50[/mention] ) finish development on their version. Those two just make a great team. They really think things through & are willing to go back & rework a problem until they get exactly what they want. Through discussion & first hand observation I have great faith in both of their judgements.

Measuring and "it should fit" are fine, but there are no substitutions for first hand knowledge and actual pictures of one mounted.

So im still at it with my 97 QX4 fixer upper. Back in December / January I had my front seat belts changed out under warranty from Infiniti. While they had it they performed the strut Tower recall finding everything was a okay. Fast forward to the present moment and once a year I undercoat the entire underside of vehicle. While undercoating the driver side I noticed the All Too Well raised and Flaky metal. So I took my scraper and went to town and here's what happened. Going by the recall campaign guidelines this should be repairable but what makes me angry is a level 2 repair should have been done while they had it for the seatbelts 6 1/2 to 7 months ago clearly the technician didn't want to fix it so I called infiniti North America talked to them they told me to call the dealership have them bring it back in and fix it even though the recall had been performed on it I told them the rust didn't just appear within the past six and a half months it was there when they were doing the seatbelts so more less they told me they had my back. In my opinion this is clearly a level 2 repair and should have had a bracket put on to start with. The sad thing is I gave them kudos for treating me like a longtime customer who had just bought a new car. So like the Jimmy Buffett song "Come Monday" I'm supposed to call the service manager and get everything straightened out and set up an appointment. TO BE CONTINUED........
