Default Need to stubby the front bumper!!

I'm so tired of that nasty sound my tires make when they rub against my front bumper when I flex!!

I lack a Sawzall and don't want to buy one just to cut my bumper.
Need some help, who feels like experimenting with me??
If you have experience doing this, I will gladly pay you in beer!
Have Jeep, will travel.

Bumper chop party??

Dude, I looked up that bumper, that is a sweet deal. I've been wanting the Hanson stubby but, that looks just as good, and financially much more practical...
Where did you find it for $240 shipped?? It's $263 on Bestops website.

I did some shopping around and got Quadratec to price match it. The place I found it for cheaper than QT is now selling them for $257.17 shipped, so thats still cheaper than quadratec who sells em for $259. Usually they give free shipping to forum members, but if not its $10 surcharge for the bumper shipping plus their regular $38 shipping.... so its $307.

PM if you want more details.
