what do you guys do with this?

I trimmed the bumper but the mount that the OE bumper side bolts to may be a problem. I don't think cutting it off is such a hot idea since it is the only structure holding that corner of the fender together.

Cut it off and weld it back up?
I haven't gotten that far yet with bumper trimming, but if it's in the way, hack it off

I cut the OE mount off, made a new one with 1/4" stock welded it on. Then drilled through the new mount/bumper, and ran 3/8" bolts through it.Let me know if you want pics.

Hmm, I just cut all that shit off- if it was holding something it wasn't holding it good, down at a V like that?

 

[TBob]

ahhh...where is that?

 

[FAUX X 4]

Cut it off.............it was mainly for the OE bumper bracket...........which obviously you no longer have!

I drilled a 1/4" hole through the core support and bolted the inner fender to the core support after I lopped off that hunk.

 

[Wes]

ahhh...where is that?

Its that piece that the top bushing bolt for the outer part of the bumper to "bolt" to.

Took an air saw to it and never looked back.

 

[TBob]

is it in this pic?

 

[Wes]

No, its behind the side-end of your new bumper.

See that rivet in the hangy down thing towards the bottom/front of the fender? Its attached to that.

pics would be great. It just started poring outside so I can't go out and look at it with all these suggestions in mind At first glance it seemed it was supporting something other than just the OE bumper wings but I guess I was seeing things

I'll post 'em up when I get home, kinda hard to do it from a crackberry.

crackberry? sounds like a new drug, LOL

 

[Brain]

Just remove it

I unbolted mine a long time ago. Cut the first one off, then realized they were bolted on.

 

[Wes]

I was thinking that considering you can kick the side of a stock bumper and bend those pieces all to shit, then bend them back out with your hand they probably weren't doing much anyways
Further, I question the structural characteristics of anything that can be taken out with a cutoff wheel in 30seconds per side (both pieces).

 

[TBob]

Yep if it wasn't in my pic it isn't need

 

[briansc33]

uhhhh, yeah. Now that I can see the pic on a full screen I know WTF you're talking about. I don't know what I was looking at. :dunno:

Just cut the damn thing off, mines been gone for years.

10-4. Mine was gone once I put a bentup bumper on my shit like 3 years ago. Tires didn't hit it, I just didn't like how the piece looked

When in Doubt................Cut it out!!!
