Body Damage is Cool
I've got about the same wheel/tire set-up. Looks like yours has a little torsion twist in the front. Have you noticed that? or does it have a little body lift in it?

Any rubbing that you've noticed from the tires? Is that just a modified front bumper with the center cut out for the winch?

Mudrunner

nothing scrubs on it.When I test drove it,we both flexed it pretty good and nothign scrubbed or rubbed on it.It clears the tires really good.
also,no kind of body lift although the rear is bouncy and has a slight sag that i will need to fix.
These are pics of how the winch setup is mounted.basically,it is bolted to the brush guard and the guard welded to the bumper.Its firm but still floppy.I will also have to redo this to make it stronger.
I saw a pathfinder yesterday on the road and it looked to have the same brush gurad on it,must be a generic 1 size fits all design.

Since it has the 3.0 it should have coils for the rear correct? If so I got a set of SR springs that will give it a little bit of a lift. O yeah I have the same size tires and wheels and no rubing issues with them either.
