    It really gave the Jeep a better look IMO and the extra approach height is pretty cool.

    The nice thing is that the bumper plastic is so soft you can cut it with an axacto knife.

    Was just thinking that the 4xGuard Front would make that look pretty nice and remembered you said you were getting some gear for you birthday including that. I can't wait to see what it looks like with the guard on it.

    That cut looks awfully familiar to the one you did for the ZJ. I was looking at some other cuts, Sal. Some people have cut that bumper with the radiator entirely exposed. I know my ZJ is to become a dedicated trail rig.. But I don't think i'll be going that route. I'm pleased with our turnout.

    I might have to play with the photo shop a little bit now and see what happens.

    There's a reason why when it was time to cut your bumper we put all the tools down grabbed a beer and stared at the lines for about an hour.

    So are you disconnected in front also? or just have the rear sway bar removed?
