My buddy got one of the first sets with this issue and they actually sent him a new set that corrected this, I believe they were simply shorter instead of a radius cut to the inside corner.
Glad to hear they fixed it! That’s wild they sent him a full new set. Good on CBI!
 
To my eye, the rear hitch and exhaust sit too low for this aggressive of a cut on the rear bumper. I noticed that Instagram account never posts pictures of the back bumper curious how he’s addressed the exhaust
Funny I was thinking the same. I see a lot of people just cut the front and side steps. Not too many cut the rear, but I’d like to have it match the side height.

Rear bumper cut while waiting on my LFD rear bumper.

Post cut, of course everything was filed nice and clean. Cable retainers installed to mitigate the mud flap getting tore off by the tires in a deep mud/snow/sand condition.

To keep a stealth off road look, I think it's great!
But I'd run 1" steel tubing along the bottom of the front and rear bumpers, tucked up just enough not to be noticed but down far enough to scrape first on a steep approach or decent angle. Make sure they're still attached to the frame, front and rear to give good support without bending up into your bumper. And if you don't really like slider steps, do the same thing with heavy gauge steel rectangle tubing, maybe 1" x 4" x (whatever length needed) and run that along the sides, tucked underneath if you should need something to bang on!

Good call. Luck for me I know a guy that just bought a tube bender and welder.
 
I don't need them but if I hear someone is looking, I ll send them your way. What is your asking price?
Thanks! They have less than 5k miles on them. $600 obo and will throw in a set of tred recovery boards.

Just picked up 33s that’s why I’m asking about cutting my bumper and sliders haha

what tires did you go with? I’m pretty happy with the toyo at3s. People said there would be road noise but I’m not hearing any

285/70r17 falken wildpeak at3w. Wife has the same on her 4runner.
Nice! Was between those and the toyos for me but discount tire only had the falkens in a 285/75/17 in a E load (not sure if the falkens come in a C Load in that size) so I did C load on the toyos.

falken is a good tire. Excited to see em on those F5s!

Ya I was stuck between falkens and toyos too. Got a deal on one brand new for $100 so bought 3 more from discount
 
What manufacturer and price? They look like AT's is that correct?
