I got my ARB bumper delivered and I was just looking at the box of parts and I had a couple questions.

From searching ARB installs it looks like people are cutting off the ends of the frames and some are cutting the flange around the end. Since I dont want to have to weld an end plate can I just cut the flange around the end of the frame and make it smooth to where this bracket slides over the end:


Then once this slides over the end, are you still able to use a bolt on the front face that would be similar to using the bolt with the provided frame extension that doesn't get used?

(this extension bracket is only for tacomas correct... )
