Pics of Trimmed Front Bumpers

[Be_Original]

@ tman and original.. You guys have a side shot of thw whole 4runner? I just trimmed up my front bumper aimilar to you guys but left it straight across and didnt taper the flare up higher.. Curious what it looks like before i keep cutting

I do not, sorry. I got rid of the truck about a year ago and have no pictures on my phone. From the side it looked off. By that I mean the lines from the rear and front didnt match. The front bumper looked much higher than the fat, low rear bumper. As far as approach angle goes and tire clearance, worth all my time and Id do it again as a money saver.

I also did the Tman chop.

I didn't do the upward cut in the fenderwell, just kept my cut level with the ground and went straight back to the front tires. I've run the Tman chop for a while now and I love it.

Took about an hour with a dremmel and cutting wheel. Safety glasses is a must.

Is that work pit in the floor of your garage? If so, can you pm me some details about it so as not to derail the thread?:cheers:

I am so doing this mod. The 03 bumper has the lines built in just wondering what to use to cut with. I'm thinking 22 dpi. Blade on jigsaw

I like this idea for some more clearance.
Does anyone have any pictures of the inner fender liner? What are you guys doing with that?

I hope this makes sense. Lets see pix of what and how much you all have trimmed on the rear, of the front fenders / flares.
Hope this pic better explains where in talking about, I want to see what you all have done.
Thanks in advance

Sorry to hijack - I'm only posting a reply cause I'm a new member and it won't let me start a new thread until I make some replys. BTW Mods - this is a stupid rule.

Without this rule you would see quite a bit of SPAM threads by first posters. Seen it before on other sites.

I just now saw this response after the thread was recently bumped. I’m assuming you were replying to me on the location.
I live in Billings, lived in Bozeman for about 4 years, but have been back in Billings for 10 years now.

Thinking about doing this bumper chop but I want to cut out the factory fog and turn lights and add in flushmout light into the bumper to replace them. Has anyone seen this before? Might give it a look closer to having a winch bumper. I would get rid of the whole lower section but I have a hidden winch and need to keep the center bumper grill section.

This is an idea of how I am thinking about trimming my bumper.
Excuse the poor photo editing attempt. Best I could do on my phone without a stylus. You can see some tape from where I had masked off where I was thinking about cutting to see how it would work.

Some of these look really nice. I'm a new T4R owner. 2004 V8 Limited with only 80K! The first year of its life with see a lot of highway miles, but after that I'm going to make it a medium duty trail rig (moving to Kentucky).

Let’s revive this thread. Looking for more photos of front and rear fender trims. Did anyone modify the oem mud flaps in the rear or just remove? I just upgraded our 2005 and have slight rubbing. Stoked to have a 4th Gen with a V8. Not many photos of the early style 4th Gen bumper trims.
Thanks
