Rear High Clearance Cut?
Hello everyone! I'm trying to keep my weight down and I don't need a rear bumper, but I was wondering if anyone has done a rear high clearance cut? I can't seem to find anything. Thanks!

If you talking cutting plastic to cut weight I think there are other options.

Yes. It has been done with tube bumper corners.

I'm assuming that is someone custom job? I've never seen that before.

That doesn't look too bad actually.

looks good. Guessing it could be bolted on to the stock bumper with minor modification.

Not mine. I think it was @wfo . But I can't remember for sure. I like the idea. IIRC he ended up swapping for a full rear bumper.

Are you trying to save weight or increase departure angle? Cutting and trimming plastic that weights nothing to save a few ounces of weight seems like a silly idea. Likewise you aren't going to save yourself any departure angle either if you keep the OEM hitch receiver. Not sure cutting gains you anything in this case.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I'll see if I can have someone fabricate that up. I like that idea.

I guess let me a little more clear. I'd like a little more protection like a new rear metal bumper has but I don't have a "need" for one and don't like the idea of all the weight. The picture he actually posted is what I'm looking for. I would also have to keep the OEM hitch receiver because I do tow a fair amount.

something like that will help rear departure even with the hitch still in place, if you put your tire on the obstacle you can clear the center of the vehicle but you'll come down on the corner of the plastic bumper behind the tire
