Shorten TJ Front Bumper

[00falcon]

Hi Guys,

Im looking to cut my stock front bumper down, to make it a bit shorter.

But i am just curious as to the WOF specs of a front bumper...
ie. does it need to cover the tires...? etc...?

Has anyone else done this mod...?

Im not sure on the legality side of it, but i just got a spare front bumper for mine the other day (good old $1 reserve on Trademe). I am going to shorten it to make it a stubby. I'm sure i've seen other TJs with stubby bumpers...

Still need to come around to yours and talk shit, soon maybe?

Fingers crossed i should get my muds next week, or the week after...
