Mine sure didn't in that Altima. Decided to tear it up and go through a ton of mud at about 40 and fried my electric fans with a quickness.

Yeah you're gonna need some serious compression to run that cam bro.

That fan shroud looks wicked!

Even better is the foot that got caught in the picture. Should've painted it too and posted pics. Really be ONE with the truck at that point.

Re: project: FTD
 
i know the welds look like crap..!
but they will be hidden for the most part...
and it's ok cause it's a 4x4!
and i suck at welding!.. (well flux core that is)
i had a few sections of jussst beautiful "dots"... then i slapped it too hard with my "little hammer" and bent it all to hell... yaaaaayyyy

wheel wells are "cut" and tacked into place .. tomorrow i'll butt weld in the filler piece to finish the "stretch"
