Have had this on the to do list for 3 years, but everyone kept telling me not to do it Well last night I started it, today I finished, some may like it, some may not, I DO!!!! But when you start seeing cut bumpers like this remember who ( may of ) done it first Already had a half circle cut out for the tail pipe so started there last night thats where I left it last night Then after I installed a new right side CV I went to work on it this is where it ended, cut the top off the license plate and drilled a hole 3/4 " down to have it higher as well still a little sanding / filing to finish smoothing it out but overall done! No more snow and mud stuck up in there, so there!!!!!!!!! JJsKJ wanted some side / full view shots so here you go! Took the spare off for its mid year waxing in behind the brackets |

Looks good! Is that the Mopar hitch? That is what I have. It doesn't look bad exposed like that. Dave |

Looks great Tom! What'd you do with your exhaust tip? Looks like you removed it today. |

I really like the way that looks... Too bad Jeep didn't design the liberty w/ that much "departure" angle in the rear.... And I really dig that hitch... anyone have one they don't need like that? |

Looks real good man I knew sooner or later someone else would do it and I wanted to be first!!! Now trying to find some nice LED back up lights to install up above the hitch, out of the way but still light things up ! |

OK Tahoe you found out the reasoning behind my insanity. I admit it just wanted to show off my nice looking tires............. If I wasn't so lazy I would pull the Kilby and hitch off , bet it would really look taller then! |

Makes a huge difference in the sound, don't like mine now, not as low and rumbling like it was with the tip on. But doesn't look right with it on and it's all about looks ....right |

Since I don't get snow here in Arizona, can you explain a little more about why you would want this done other than looks? I think it looks GREAT and it is similar to what I wanted to have done with a metal bumper, but then this economy went to hell and I never thought about just cutting away the friggin plastic. Great shots of a bitchin libby! Jason |
