Nate's Bumper, and Roof Rack

**X2elite** · 09-15-2007, 10:54 PM

Got my Nate's Bumper and winch mounted, and also got my roof rack mounted as well. Now all I need is a nice rear bumper, some rock rails, and some cut out flares w/35's.

looks pretty good.

definitely trim the overhang on the front fenders level with the bottom of the marker lights.

I have been thinking about doing that all along. Is there a write up on it anywhere that I can take a look at??

Tape off the area with masking tape so you don't scratch the paint. Get a nice strait line drawn where you want to cut. Remove the fender supports. Use a jigsaw with a fine metal cutting blade to hack away.

I really want to do it, but I just haven't got up the nerve to just start cutting on it yet. LOL You'd think once I got past the first trail dent all would be well, but I am just not sure yet.

That's really about all there is to it. I used a dremel and cutoff wheels the first time I did it (didn't own a jigsaw at the time).

I might just go ahead and do it this coming weekend. I would have done it this weekend, but I was so busy with installing my stuff, and then Sunday i went out and "tested" it all out.

I got all paranoid about that one fender flare bolt about an inch below the cut line in Jason's pic. LOL. I suppose it was dumb but hey I "wuv" my baby and wanted to be gentle.... Tomorrow she's gittin' it hard and fast.
