Measure and mark where you want to cut.

Go to town with your grinder, sawzall, torch or other favorite lopping device.

Apply liberal amounts of bedliner, or just pee on it and call it a day.

By the way, I've since replaced my stubby with a different bumper, so if someone in Austin, TX wants mine, I'd gladly swap it for a 12 pack of Shiner 102 or some used motor oil

I thought that bumper looked familiar! I've seen it on Craigslist...don't you have the Pavement Ends bumper too?
