My tires are rubbing and have started pulling the bumper down on one side. I'm thinking about trimming it? Anyone like this idea?

 

Suppose you could do that...or put a real a bumper on the front...

 

Yeah well I can afford a grinder disk...

 

hehehe. No worries, I've seen XJ guys cut their front bumpers down like that.

 

Oh crap XJ guys? Now I CANT do it.

 

 

why not just take the bumper ends off?

only requires requires removing a few bolts

 

I dont like the idea of just removing the bumper ends cause then it just leaves it squared off and i think it would look bad i think it looks good, but maybe extend it out a little further like to the corner lights

 

ah okay


I think you just want to cut on something

 

Cut it, I think it would look good! Just don't be suprised when everyone starts calling you XJ... J/K...

Seriously though cut 'em and add LED surface mount signals and then post pics!

 

I cut just a little bit of the corner pieces of the bumper when my 35s hit. I just cut it to follow the way the fender goes pretty much.







If you do end up cutting like your picture shows dont forget about the sheet metal and canister deal that the bumper does hide.



Crappy picture, but you see the sheet metal it hides there that also has to be trimmed and theres a caniaster on the other side. No idea what it does.

 

Well I didnt cut it, because Im scared. Plus turn signals will be a pain. But I did make a new grill emblem. Its a 4th gen rear hatch emblem painted flat black. I just cut a paice of aluminum and polished it and used double sided tape for the emblems. I work at a body shop and they use double sided tape for the emblems also.

 

try just cutting the ends and welding a flat plate on the bottom.

 

I dig the 4Runner emblem, that looks killer! Very original!

 

Nice grill!!

You could always do the parking light blinker mod to solve your bumper turn signal delete?

 

Meow meow










But im digging the 4runner grill. Nice work

 

thank you thank you

is it visible from the front in the daytime?

Anybody got a writeup? Hell it's probly just cut/paste the turn signal wires for the new plug.

 

nah, you need to get a dual filament socket.. ill probably finish my mod tomorrow!

 

Well lmk where you got the parts and what wires you changed. I think i'd like to do that whether or not I cut the bumper.

 

just weld tube onto the stock bumper and cut like this. will look great after being painter a good metallic silver or black. bed liner looks awesome to.
