Good video and needs more visibility. I rejected a hidden winch mount bumper I purchased because I didn't realize that the bash bar which gets removed in your install and mine, adds about 6" of crash protection on either side of the vehicle. Did losing that crash protection concern you? I've decided to go with a more full-size bumper in the future. The chrome washer on the side - did that come with the bumper? Do you consider with the big holes you had to put in the upper radiator cover, that just leaving that cover off altogether would be a viable option?
I have not worried about the crash bar. It is aluminum on the 460. And while it’s slightly wider you really don’t loose that much by replacing it. The chrome washers came with the bumper. I have plans to paint them. They are actually aluminum and not chromed. As far as the cowling over the radiator. It covers the entire front end. I could have gotten rid of it all together. I felt it gave a more factory appearance. And I have since trimmed the holes out for a more finished look. Thanks for the questions. And thanks for watching!
