It's basically cutting the lower outside edges of the plastic bumper to improve the oblique approach angle on either side with or without cutting the bottom of the center section as well.
Are you going to be the trail blazer!!?
I continue to hold out hope that a vendor will make a 16+ specific front bumper.

I know someone around here has done it. I can’t find it
It's been done with a pre 2016, not sure if anyone with a 16+ has done it. All the lines of the bumper point out towards the corners rather than there being a V, so i suspect it would be a little harder on the 2016+.
This one went through a few iterations.
Builds - MTKID's LX on 40's @tiny_the_200
I've owned a 60 series (that never ran), a 94' 80 series (on 315’s), 97' 100 (on 37's) and now this 200... We purchased in Aug. 18’ w/ 175k miles and the first photo I took of it was getting 34” winter tires tossed on a few months later… Happy to answer any questions as they come up…

I too have not seen a '16+ with any trimming, but would love to. The silly fog light trim really inhibits it.
Seen many GX bumper cuts before, but this is the first that dealt with the funky LX-like fog light housing. Thought I'd share.
Saw this on IG yesterday. It’s a very mild cut, but a cut nonetheless.
Few more. I don’t know if he’s on MUD.
I wrote him a note for more detailed photos but i think it looks good.

That fog lamp housing makes this challenging. I'd do something like this, just to leave the fog light intact.
If you're willing to cut through the fog light (maybe patch the bottom up with some plastic weld or epoxy? I don't really know how the light is constructed), this would look better.
If I can be a bad influence, but if didn’t have my 2008 LX I would 1000% have a 2016+ with a Sahara bar on it.
I think this level of clearance fixes the frumpy proportions of the the 2016+ LXs.

I agree, but I’ve been patiently waiting to see if one of the vendors will be developing a dedicated +16’ front bumper.
You know how this stuff works. You finally pull the trigger on something and then a vendor releases just what you wanted!
I’ve spoken with Slee on this and apparently it’s in the long term plans.
I’d prefer a hoop for deer strikes but most shops will not install the arb deluxe. All personal preference but I think it looks good
