04 Jimny bumper trimming

[sj_durham]

Morning folks,

My insa's (215 75 15) on offset rims and 2" lift should be arriving today and i wanted a little advice as regards the bumper.

Can i trim it in situ then? I was planning to cut the lower half off altogether like others have and wondered if it can be done whilst on? Do i remove the arch liner or just cut the lot to clear and tie up what's left and been useful?

I have a steady hand ( engineer) so dont mind cutting it whilst been on and a tad more awkward.

Thanks
Mick

What has happened to this place? It used to be full of helpful folk. Now its like pulling teeth getting any help

If i was doing what you are i would jack up a corner at a time until the wheel is right in the arch and then see if anything touches and then trim off, doing the same with the wheels on full long and with the vehicles weight on each corner and then trim again, and then double check everything clears, and has more clearance than you need and away you go.

But this place seemed bustling with posters when i used it previously and this time round it just seems very little quiet so i guess its only a semi toys out the pram moan

facebook groups seem to have killed forums eventhough they are crap in comparison.

My mate runs 31s with 2" lift and has posted a few pics of the trimming needed, obviously you won't need to trim anywhere near as much but should give an idea
