    So did you make something to cover the hole? All of that stuff behind the bumper is exposed to the elements.

    For those with lifts, + 33" tires and about 10"s of shock travel total, do you folks find that this is needed for fitment?

    Working on a build and my way of avoiding a CMC (fingers crossed) is to use a SPC upper control arm to move the caster as far forward as possible.

    Water tight connections and the bulbs are sealed at the housing.... factory.... not the end of the world of that area gets dirty.... truck is cleaned right after trips.

    and besides, could you imagine if it weren’t all sealed.... the slightest water crossing would blow the fuse LOL

    I’ve had water at just above the flares and up over the hood while pushing forward....

    It helps when you’re tucked up in there tight and trying to get out of tricky spot... I like that the front bumper won’t be contacting rocks anymore.... the sections I cut off were pretty gnar...

    Dont take this the wrong way. Is that your permanent solution?

    So with my question, your truck is the perfect example? Are you worried about someone stealing your fogs? Looks like baja designs fog lights, those aren't cheap.
