I’ve had this A-bomb front bumper from DIY4x sitting in my garage for about two years. Finally getting around to actually putting it on the Blazer. Can’t get my winch to fit just barely due to the wings? (Whatever you want to call them) At the corners of the bumper. Thinking of using a plasma cutter to zip some off. Just wondered if anyone else has done something similar and what it looks like.

Also as far as I can tell I don’t think the cut it would have to make would structurally compromise the bumper at all. The part I would have to cut seems purely cosmetic to me. But maybe someone smarter than me would tell me otherwise…
