This is what it looked like when I first got er.
I hit the ditch in feb and when dad pulled me out my bumper was messed. And so i decided it was time to start putting the flatdeck on. And to put a trailer hitch receiver on in place of the bumper.
The piece of plywood that is going across the wheel wells was for when I had the quad in the back.
Got the box off and I was working on getting the brackets made for the flat deck.
This was the receiver that I was going to put on but it didn't end up working out so I fabricated one lol
I just found some 3/8 metal squares and so I drilled the holes to meet up with the holes in the frame that the bumper was bolted onto. then I found another receiver on one of our trailers that was made from another nissan truck. so I cut the ends off and welded the receiver inbetween the plates. works pretty well.
here is the flat deck. I eventually got lights to put in it.
I'm was just fitting everything together. welding everything up and what not.
This is kinda the finished product so far. I'm going to eventually replace the front bumper b/c this one is currently dented a little bit on the right hand side by the signal light. So I want to replace it, then buy clear signal and park lights off of ebay and put them on. Then buy a brush bumper and put it on and then put a pair of 170 Striker Light Force lights on the front. And then put 1 if not 2 pairs on the top rack behind the cab. And then replace my lights on the back with LED lights.
This is with the fog lights and high beams on. and the right pic is the rear. the top lights I have on a switch and the 2 bottom lights are my reverse lights.
Finally my aftermarket lights came in from the states. It cost me $120CAN once I was done with shipping, duties, and conversion. I got clear signal lights, and clear parking lights beside the headlights. Then I went to Canadian Tire and bought some blue bulbs for the parking lights. I think they look ok.
My dad thought that I put LED signal lights in b/c they are so bright.
Future add-ons:
- Light Force 240XGT lights. these are HID aux driving lights and I have a wicked deal on them. $235 for the pair. They are running at $610 retail. [in CAN $$] and so I will get those hopefully by next week sometime.
-Then Ill put a pair of 170 Strikers beside the XGT's for a wide spread.
-I will hopefully get the guts to put a $800 brush bumper on my truck. Ill see. Some how I can justify putting Light Force lights on but not a bumper haha
