I recently bought this never mounted JK front bumper, despite the branding, it is a Poison Spyder Brawler full width bumper. I intend to put it on my ZJ, and it was too wide.
So I cut it down. For the $100 I paid, including the skid plate, it didn't really "hurt" to cut into the shiny new bumper.
I clamped the bumper and skid plate in place to see how it all looked before I finished cutting the ends down.
I need to raise the bumper a good inch and a half. But needs some trimming of the factory crossmember to happen. I like that the bottom of the skid plate could give a smooth transition for an additional skid plate to protect the bottom of the radiator support, and maybe blend into the factory skid plate behind that. (not pictured, but I have it.) But you can see the section that is bent down, then flat then back up again. That matches JKs, but not my ZJ.
Other than cutting it off completely and starting from scratch, how can I flatten this section out to match the bottom of the plate?
