I trimmed off a little in front of the tires. Should I continue the cut all the way across?

Looks good, every little bit helps. Better to trim it now then to drag it across a rock. |

i agree with JJ i trimmed the lowest black wind valence underneath the bumper right near the front tires |

I think the part by the tire looks good... and the part in the middle looks good, but the transition somehow looks wrong. I guess the problem with trimming a front end like the libby is having something goofy-looking get exposed behind it. Any way to round-off the cut as its inner/lowermost part so it blends into the uncut part? |

What kind of setup do you have with the front d-rings? I can't tell if that is a front reciever with tabs or what. |

I took my bumper off all the way across up to the bottom of the side blinkers. It rid me of all but fully-locked rubbing and I liked the way it looked. |

It is set up to be pulled behind my motorhome. The "D" rings are where the safty chains hook on. There is also a break away switch sticking out in the middle. That will have to me moved or it might get ripped off. I'll see if I can get a better picture right now. It's dark so we will see. Terry

Seth...the cut looks awesome...question for ya...does that gap on skid scoop up tons of mud?? looks like it would act as a dustpan for everything and anything...is the gap from getting beat on or was it always there?? |

Thats the way the skids look and yes they do....scoop, mud, snow, whatever, I made a skid out of aluminum that goes from the front of the ARB down and covers that area, now no more "stuff" in the skid! Sould be able to do something similar with the stock bumper I would think. |

I was looking at my skid also. I think I'll have a steel plate made that will cover it. Tommudd: is there any particular reason why you went with aluminum instead of steel? Terry |
