Most aftermarket bumpers leave a small gap near the bottom portion of the radiator exposed about 2 inches from the end of the bumper and beginning of the skid plate. People found out that the RCI filler plate can cover that exposed area easily and then remove the excess steel with an angle grinder. It's easier to cut off steel than it is to bend and shape steel, at least for me it is.

Got it - that must be what some of the trimming comments were about. Granted it was in a Taco forum, but I was concerned with dropping the cash for the SSO only to have fitment issues. Sounds like the mod on the filler plate is the way to go in order to get better coverage all around.
