Finally decided to cut the stock bumper and get rid of the big ass dent on the passenger side.

Before:


After:

 

Doesn't look too bad.

I was looking at mine yesterday and thought it would look good if you could cut it along the lines ofthe crush cans since they kind of flow towards the body lines.


edit - and the dent didn't look bad at all. Nothin' wrong with a little trail rash.

 

Working on that part, just need to sand it down now.

 

I had a dent in the same place on mine so I drilled a hole in the back (where it can't be seen) and push it out. I like the stubby look though.

 

How do the outsides look?

 

Still need to sand it down and cut the pieces for the end caps

 

I thought about doing this, too, but was unsure how to close off the ends.

 

I really like this! what do the sides look like? Did you build a cover or cap?

 

about a year ago or more there where a lot of threads about this. there are also write ups about it.
