    I want to keep everything as covered and protected as possible. Like I said above, winter roads here kill vehicles even though we don't salt the roads. I want to be able to use all the original plastics (probably with modifications) as much as I can to cover up the insides of the wheel wells. I'll still be clearing out the fenders a bit to give the tires more room, but I figured I'd try and get the fenders all fixed to roughly stock clearances and work my way back until I find a look that is practical and I like the looks of. Also, my tires stick out so much now that I have to do something to cover them up. And you need good metal to stick flares and mud flaps onto. I've got an idea for some easily removable ones that would cover my ass legally on road that aren't totally ugly, but that I could still pop off and have fun slinging mud with.

    I feel you on the salted roads killing everything.. 797d1114a7bb3824a6e36c9203ddb647.jpg

    Thats on my xj when i was cutting the fenders, my pathfinders was much much worse, especially behind the steering shaft in the engine bay. Was rotted and had to have additional metal welded in place. What i did was just bedline and use rust preventative on everything that is exposed or would be exposed to the elements. The only problem i have now is my mirrors being exposed, which i got to make a quick fix for because winter is fast approaching. Do you by chance have any pictures of your sfd install? I've had mine sitting in a box for over a year, havent had time to install it due to my pathfinder being my daily.

    Be careful winching from those mounting points. They are not that strong. Try incorporating the lower bumper mounts and the OEM tow points for more strength.

    Yeah i was going to add aditional metal to support winching in the future, as for now this should do. The bumper is stiff and bolted on there pretty good. It will handle winching , extra support doesnt hurt though.

    Wow, it looks really good! Could you post a link to theexbrit's guide? I can't seem to find it. Have you had a chance to use the winch yet, to tell if your bumper mounting is secure enough?

    Sure thing,

    No i didn't get to use my winch yet as i dont have a good enough battery to handle it, i did get pulled out with it since i had it, i see no problems so far. Winching shouldn't be a problem either. I'll update you on it though once i test it out for sure.

    Also, went on a local trip this past weekend with a jeep club, moderate rock climbs, lots of washouts, pathy preformed very well and was very confident of going through everything. Didnt get to many photos, but here are some i did take.

    Also got around to finally bolting up my winch, i didn't wire it yet as the battery i have now is very weak, i got my eyes on the yellowtop double post battery, i should have that in the next week or so. For some odd reason, i had to drill the holes bigger on the bumper , the bolt was not going through and was sitting at an angle. Everything lines up as it should now.
