You're going to lose some rigidity on the front bumper when you trim it because you'll have to lose the front brackets that mount to the cross beam. Other than that I haven't had an issue.finally managed to persuade my wife to let me trim the front bumper after she busted it on her first off road excursion. the current plan is to cut it off and if we do not like it we will buy the cbi bumper.
is there anything i should be aware of when trimming the front bumper?
I've got a new DV8 front bumper for a GX if you're interested. Bought it a few years ago and never installed it
