Chopped grill, header panel, and made a bumper this weekend..







Oh, and made a new decal, lol

 

That looks great, That sticker is funny also !

 

I've never seen the grill cut like that before. I really like it

 

That looks cool.

 

Never seen the grill cut like that either. Looks really clean. Was hesitant when I saw the thread title, but it looks good imo.

 

weak.

 

Lol, Thanks Matt

And thanks guys.
I had never seen a grill cut like that before either, so I cut a spare one and ended up liking it. It's something different anyway...

Lot more to go on this one, just need more time and tube

 

whats the bs on those tires? nice build, just did tubes on my jcr, love it!!!

 

looks like a pre runner front end

 

high and tight man. That came out awsome. Makes the front look higher. Nice job

 

looks good. better approach angle is always nice. I played around with cutting out some of the front crossmember out before to gain a couple inches there. didn't even think of cutting the header panel.

 

This looks amazing, and I am interested in hearing about any cooling issues. Have you noticed anything yet?

 

My tires do not have any back spacing.. lol
The wheels end up being about 2.5" BS

 

No more than usual, lol.
I don't see why it would have any cooling issues though,
The bottom plate between "frame rails" does not come up any higher than the stock plate, so no restriction there.. and the air can flow around the tube. The winch plate is 1/4" thick all the way across, though there is a small gap between the grill and the winch plate.. if you lined up all the cut vertical pieces from the grill on their sides, they probably restricted about the same as my winch plate is now.

So while it seems like a lot it should still have plenty of airflow above and below

 

I need to do this. Great idea dude.
