I'm about to install an ARB front bumper on my GX470... Any advice re: trimming the fenders?

[PrahranNYC]

I searched for advice on how to install an ARB front bumper on my '05 GX470.

I'm fully aware you need to trim the fender flares (fenders too perhaps?) and wanted to see if anyone here had advice before I start fitting it to the truck.

Advice on trimming - What tools to use, how much, how to clean it up

Advice on fitting the bumper to the truck?


Thanks

Definitely need a dremel with cutting wheels and polishing wheels. Measure a ton then measure some more. I gradually kept cutting the fender til it was to my liking. The inner side you don’t need to make as pretty since it will be hidden. Would recommend a friend to help so you can get the position just right. Good luck with it.

Thanks! Great tips.

Now to find another person to help me install it...
