    Damn, Billy, you beat me to it, I was gonna mention that you did a similar mod and it buys you quite a bit as far as approach angle...

    There you go, should have thought of that. Plus it just looks better to cut it even all the way around I guess.

    Just a follow up on this since its been quite a while.

    The bumper is fine. As a matter of fact, its been on 5 wheeling trips since I built it. I had some approaches so tall/steep that I ripped the LED driving lights off of one side...lol. The bumper held just fine. Front rail caps have seen better days though.

    I have since done other mods, so this kind of sat around. The trooper RS has been getting lots of love, and I am sure the VX is jealous. Her time is coming around again, new wheel bearings, new cb antenna, some TLC maintenance.
