Default D2 Terrafirma w/ washer bottle guard

bumper install is going well, for the winch install, i assume you cut the horizontal red bar in this picture running along the top of the box?

also anyone else have fitment issues with the washer bottle metal plate? trying to slide it in from underneath and hook it up, bolt holes dont seem lined up and there doesnt seem to be enough room.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the only thing you should cut is the grill.

To install the bumper you don't have to cut, to install a winch you do.

Yep was referring to winch install. Seems like soft metal. Guessing a sawzall or jigsaw would do it fine. Thanks.

If you have a grinder and a cut-off wheel might be the cleanest and fastest.

Yeah cut that piece off, it does nothing except make a good mount for wiring.

Looks good, I love how tight the bumper is on the vehicle. One of the best approach angles out there

Did you plasti-dip your wheels or are they powder coated?
