SSO Slimline Hybrid front bumper leaves a gap

[skag1T]

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

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

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
