Default Stock bumper chop?
I did a search (on my phone ) and couldn't find any how to's. Just wondering If there is anything to look out for or can I cut away?

there is metal underneath the plastic. if you haven't removed the air dam yet, you will run into that as well.

They have a setup on Quadratec that chops the stock bumper and retains the factory look by capping the ends.

Where did you get end caps for your front bumper? Your bumper is much shorter than the Rough Country mod. I like that very much !!

So how did you stop the plastic on the bumper from moving around? I cut mine not it loose.
