So thinking of doing this mod. So are you guy leaving the most inside bumper bolt in place and just cutting forward and then up and across? Hope I'm asking that right. Lol

That looks great! What did you do to the wheel well liners? Do you happen to have a pic of what it looks like in the wheel well?

Big fan of how this looks. I decided to replace my entire front bumper and am patiently waiting for it to arrive. Mostly due to not wanting to put steel on if I can avoid it.
SSO rocks. Good to see other pictures outside of their website!

I think this looks really great.
But I wonder -- is it kind-of dangerous to have the front tires so exposed? I mean for highway driving. Which, obviously none of us probably want to do in our T4Rs but most of us have to.

I have had mine on for several months, drove to Moab and back. Never had an issue with the front tires being exposed.

Anyone have any pics looking in at the inner wheel well? Or from underneath?
I am tempted to do this DIY mod, but i am worried about it leaving some odd looking open slit between the bumper and inner wheel well lining.
I never see any good side shots or shots looking forward from the side of this mod.

That's a good data point, thank you.

The Colorado ZR2 is designed like this from the factory for the very same advantages, better approach angle. Sure, it visually exposes vital steering linkages and the control arms and probably adds to drag, but the odds of it directly creating a more serious impact in that area would be slim. Odds are whatever causes damage to that area likely would have had the same outcome with a standard bumper in place.

Hm. Indeed it is. OK, well, now I have one less reason not to do something like this.
