Post subject:  Cutting a ( rear) bumper my way Pics added 10/3
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 :wink:
Already had a half circle cut out for the tail pipe so started there last night
Image
thats where I left it last night
Image
Then after I installed a new right side CV I went to work on it :twisted:
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
Image

Image

still a little sanding / filing to finish smoothing it out but overall done! :shock: No more snow and mud stuck up in there, so there!!!!!!!!! :lol:

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.

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?

So whats it worth to you today Daryl? Makes a huge difference in the sound, don't like mine now, not as low and rumbling like it was with the tip on. :cry: But doesn't look right with it on and it's all about looks ....right :roll:

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!
