SSO Slimline Hybrid front bumper leaves a gap
I have a 2018 SR5 4runner, and considering the SSO Slimline Hybrid front bumper.

https://www.southernstyleoffroad.com...-20-heise-led/

The installation removes the front bottom plastic cover, and leaves the bottom of the radiator exposed. It is shown in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twKnFKkfoNY

Is there a way to avoid this opening ? The guy in the video seems to suggest that a TRD Pro front skid plate might close the gap. Anybody knows ?

The TRD Pro skid comes up higher than the standard skid which is why the SSO Bumpers have to be a little different to accommodate them. This looks like someone selected the TRD Pro skid plate option when ordering and installed it on a vehicle with the standard skid plate. Mine ('14 Trail) sure doesn't have this gap, and haven't heard of others with this issue.

EDIT: That video is NOT the SSO bumper. He mentioned it was the Warn Winch Bumper

Get an aftermarket front skid. They usually come up a little more forward in the front and will cover that area
