DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Anybody here cut their front bumper and lined them with rubber trim for more clearance? Until I get a bumper I’d like to do this myself but taking out the dremel and cutting away has got my pucker factor at a max.

 

Full frontal.
Looks sick right?

 

Just leave it. Not worth the effort for what you’ll gain.

 

I've thought about it but have only ever hit that area of my bumper 1 time. The one time I hit there that cut would not have saved me. I agree with @Naveronski that its probably not worth the effort.

 

I’ve cut further up, but I don’t see the need for that much

 

Use a tape line. It's just plastic you will be fine. And if you plan on getting a bumper down the road it wont matter if it's off a little

 

I was there pretty much all day yesterday.

I chatted with the Toyota guy that is in your pic behind you for a little bit. They flew him out from DC just to work the State Fair and he works 6 hour days and gets paid for an 8 hour day... ended up giving him my info just in case he has to get a certain number of contacts a day or something.

Not gonna lie... I was eyeing the Tundra waaaaaay more.

 

SO WAS I!

I was also eyeing this little bubba

 

But that Camry TRD tho.... that thing was nice and less than 35k...

If I would have had more time I would have checked out more of the fair, but I pretty much didn't even see half of it. Just looked at what was close the the TPWD event I was working and that was about it honestly. Not worth the money to go back without the perks I had cause damn is it expensive.

 

I like the TRD options!

And then there’s this. FJ replacement?

 

It's cool, but I don't see it being production at all honestly. The Rav4 pretty much does that... and not going to lie, the new Ravs are pretty nice in the cement color with all the options.

 

Third gen guys, who did your speedo calibration? Need to get mine corrected after getting pulled over the other day.

 

You need a hyper tech speedometer calibrator that plugs in to the wiring harness to the dash cluster. Program it yourself for the correct adjustment.

 

Guess I’m just used to the programming that once the values are changed they remain. Was hoping a shop could do it for less than the hypertech. It sounds like the OV tune does not change tire size. So I was trying to avoid $150 plus the OV tune. Fuck these trucks are difficult. I miss my GM tuning abilities...

 

Opensource tuning FTW

 

Fortune Wraps can install bumpers, snorkels, etc. They do quality work!

 

Thanks for the pics! I totally forgot about the meet this weekend, but i was at the red bull soap box races in The Colony during the meet anyway.

 

ill cut that bumper for you! lol also if you plan to remove it then why so worried about cutting it??
