Mudds chopped rear bumper

[tommudd]

Been wanting to try this for over three years started it last night. Had already cut out a hole for the tail pipe so started on that side and went from there. Can't recall anyone else doing this

Looks good. Just saw the thread on LOST. I like your tail lights as well....

 

[kj924]

Looks good Tom...just remind me not to follow you down a gravel road.

Bought time someone cut into the rear bumper, I think it makes it look as if it sits higher.

 

[ms5490renegade]

i like that

 

[TruLiberty]

Tom i like it but can you hook up a full car side view? I'd like to see how it looks on the whole thing.

 

[tommudd]

I'll be taking some more tomorrow 3/4 shots and full view from the side. Will post here and on LOST
Its not cut quite as high as the ARB but within an inch or so.

For anyone interested if you look at the flares there is a pop rivet almost to the bottom, I cut right below that so the flare is still attached good at the bottom

 

[tommudd]

side and 3/4 shots for all to enjoy
Oh took the spare off to wax and clean behind the brackets, do this spring and fall to try and keep the rust away

Looks good. What wax did you use???

 

[tommudd]

Mixture of waxes, been buffing on it to get most of the trail rash off from the last trip, but have I Mequiars, Mothers and Turtle Wax ICE all on various parts of it, depends on whats closer in the shop when I am doing it.

 

[TruLiberty]

Same way you do when you cut anything
Pick a line
Start cuttin!

 

[Atrus]

I think I like it - evens out the height between the ARB and rear bumpers.

 

[AtoB]

like the door handles.... did you just drill them out?
i know i saw that look on a concept liberty.

yep 1/2 inch holes drilled through, did the rear door two days after the very first pics of the Liberator came out a few years back, did the others later!

 

[yellocoyote]

Terry did that too, IIRC.

Yep its like "grab a root and growl. " Have to start somewhere. I had a half moon cut out for my 4 inch exhaust tip ( now gone) so used that height and went for it! No looking back
Plus its only plastic, they make more everyday, its like when I cut big holes in the hood, drill/cut/ step back, breath again
