Rhino13 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm considering running without the front bumper, figured I'd get some opinions The bumper sits a bit off, I think it'll be less noticeable that the front drivers side has a sight crunch to it under the panels I'm also looking into a roll pan, but might just go without. Is it legal to not have reverse lights? 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I dig the look of the 720 chrome bumper. 3 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 No bumper looks kinda mean. I like it. That's where I'm at, I would put some sort of mesh in the two bigger holes though. I think that'd look pretty cool and different than the good 'ol chrome bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Someone else on here fitted mesh and a set of bumperettes to the front of his. It can definitely work. 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Is it legal to not have reverse lights? How often do the police check something like that? :rofl: Out of the 30+ Datsuns I've used for a daily, maybe 3 had working reverse lights. Never had an issue. 2 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 No bumper kind of makes it look like it's been in a collision since it doesn't flow very well/isn't smooth. 1 Quote Link to comment
nismo24096 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think lockleaf was referring to my project. 4 Quote Link to comment

Never had an issue. The reverse lights are either on the bumper or roll pan of these trucks, if I remove the bumper and have no roll pan I'll have no reverse lights, they already don't work just curious if they have to be present on the vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think lockleaf was referring to my project. Your truck came to mind when I was posting, thanks for the example, that's pretty much exactly what I'd do with the mesh. What did you get that air dam off of? 2 Quote Link to comment

Technically, they do. But I seriously doubt any police officer would notice. You could do what they did on the Roadster? Instead of making an integrated reverse light when the DOT said they had to have one, they just tucked it up underneath. ^_^ 3 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just my opinion, since you asked. I like the look of the factory bumper on the 720's. What if you just picked up some new bumper mounts to get things straight to the grill again and add a lower dam? 2 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'll do that for just to be safe, great idea! I have been looking for an air dam that fits and has the styling I want, I heard there's a Volvo series that works on 720's. I just wanted to do something a little different, the bumpers don't look bad, I just want to see what else I can come up with. I really like nismo's set up with the 521 bumperettes up front. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 About to swap my nicer cab/body onto the 4x4 frame, put the beat up one on the 2wd frame and sell it to my neighbor to get him into Datsun's and so he has wheels. 2 Quote Link to comment
