    So i've had this bumper on the front of my truck for almost a year now, but I never got around to fixing this issue... as you can see from the pictures, there is a lot of plastic crap hanging down from where the original bumper used to be. Does anyone with a tube bumper have any suggestions? Thanks!

    It's just from the old fender well. You can just cut it off straight across with some scissors.

    As mentioned, scissors. It's what I used when I put my All PRO bumper on.

    Snip snip, I hate that plastic fender piece even with the OEM bumper still on. It just gets in the way when I'm in there poking around
