This is a DIY video on how to achieve what I cam calling a stage 1 high clearance bumper chop for the 2014+ 4runner!
Follow along as I demonstrate exactly how to Stage 1 trim your front bumper for your truck.
I walk you step by step through the process!

I’ve taken my bumper off and on so many times already for light mods that I’ve lost half the bolts that button up those corners, lol. I’m gonna do this cut soon since I might as well 😂 zero issues with a flapping bumper or anything

Love it but would have added a black edge protector to bring the black finder flair color down... not to mention, leaving raw plastic and paint edge will eventually cause the paint to let go... Just a matter of time or a good edge hit that then will be tough to hide... Other than that, I love it & intend to do it. Thanks!

@OverlandingUSA
@OverlandingUSA 5 жыл бұрын
spencer graham no noise at all. The bumper is still fixed at all but one of the factory points. So it’s very sturdy. I do not think it would effect your ability to go full as most of those are a much much more aggressive cut

So you cut the plastic wheel well liner allowing mud and water to splash into your fog light, et. al. Couldn’t you do this cut and reset the liner? The only fail I see with your cut angle that I like.

I really love how this looks, but I'm not a big fan of leaving the fog light connections wide open to mud/water/salt. Any future plans to maybe fabricate some plastic fender lining to keep those components covered up? The metal tab that was bent up could still be utilized. Thanks for the video!!

Just push the fender liner forward. You can simply undo the bolt that attaches into the bottom of the liner, push it forward, drill a new hole and put the bolt back in.
