Hopefully these pics show a bit more how I went about the front cut. I also blacked out the center portion like @TeCKis300 did to give it more of a 4runner vibe. I like the look a lot. There was obviously a substantial amount of plastic to remove and the fog lights truthfully are quite exposed. However, with the AHC and 35's I am confident that will not be an issue on most trails this rig will see. I likely soon will also add a HWM and remove the painted aluminum crash bar.
The rear is tied into the corner of the frame/hitch with 1/4" bar as well as the lateral portions of the frame behind the rear wheels and then again, obviously the hitch. I made contact with the passenger rear this weekend and there was no movement. But, like was pointed out, I may need to rework the body mount tab to allow for unrestricted body and frame movement in relation to the rear bumper.
Overall, I am very pleased with the look and the ability to keep the rig light weight but still protected and give it a more aggressive appearance.
