Cut Bumper for Ground Clearance

[Philberto]

Why hesitate? But also, why would you do it? Is it the looks you like or the fact you can attemped a tougher trail or shoping cart?

I like the way Foosh and mine and others have turned out.

Here is a better pick of mine.

Cut the rear also.

Do you have a picture of the rear cuts? I'm curious and have been wanting to do mine. Nice tb btw... same color as mine!

Here you go Phil.

Nice! I never even though about doing that! Now where's my razor blade?

Cut the rear also.

That is the cleanest, shiniest, looking off-road vehicle I've ever seen....

HaHa! just read back this thread.



You do know how to clean and detail don't you?

I am digging the rear bumper cut. It would allow for tucking the exhaust up higher since i smashed mine coming off a seriously steep rock wall.

Nice job on it. It looks great

[Philberto]

I did it! Major kudos to bgwolfpack for the idea. I did similar cuts, and it looks great. Anybody know where to get some edging/weatherstripping to cover the cut edges? I want it for more than just this project, but figured I'd ask here.

And pics will be in the build thread tomorrow... got caught up helping out somebody in an F250 who got stuck in the sand in our riverbed. The XJ had to winch him out.

Edge protectors are usually in the parts stores in the door edging section. Just to the left of the "Hello Kitty" accessories.

I prefer the naked lady accessories, but I'll be sure to bring you a Hello Kitty glass for your beer at the next meet

Finally got a picture of my front bumper, where I ended up cutting the wheel well liner up so much that I had to screw it to the wheel well metal to keep it attached... observe:


And here's my rear bumper, thanks to bgwolfpack:
