Hey all, curious if anyone has cut or modified the oem plastic bumper. I’m eventually gonna get a steel shorty, but I’m curious if anyone has chopped the ends of their plastic one yet.

Only cutting I've seen here, so far, is to install a bull bar or lights to the steel under the plastic bumper.

Logan-Kn, look in the main thread area under trip journals. B-AIRS cut down a stock bumper, but I have no idea how he did it. Camo4stealth

I have the steel bumper group. I didn't cut it, I just removed the bolts.

I was just thinking about this, 10 months later, anyone turn a stock plastic bumper into a stubby?

I chopped mine up to stuff my winch in there. Eventually I'll throw an aluminum bumper on. I thought about cutting the ends off but thought it would look too unfinished

Which brand of winch plate did you use?

Thanks!

I didnt buy one
how does the winch mount? Is there any hardware that comes with the winch that fits to the frame?

I saw the rock hard plate that goes with the stock bumper but yours actually looks cleaner without the top plate and keeps the stock recovery points functional.

There is a youtube video of this, it turned out ok, I suppose.
