    I can't find anything close to what I'm looking for. When you all installed your aftermarket front bumpers, what did you do with the fender liner/wheel well plastic? Did you trim it back and leave it installed? Tuck it up somehow, or just completely remove it? I never really thought about this until now. I'm just kinda curious on what the majority have done.

    Pics would be helpful if you trimmed/tucked it somehow. Thanks

    I trimmed off about 10" of the plastic and tucked it up to the bottom of the inner structure under the battery tray and attached it with some self drilling screws. It works out great. I will have to get a pic for you later.

    I just cut mine with a razor blade flush with the bumper. I have since removed them completely and cut the fenders.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Hey Ryan, if you still have the trimmed liners around and want to get rid of them, I'd like them to test fit a bumper on my truck. PM me if you like.

    They're gone. sorry.
    Once you start cutting it will be no big deal. every panel on my truck has been chopped but the doors. The inner fender liners are they least important. Put the bumper on and slice them where you want, some people fold them up and others chop them off flush.

    Completely removing the liner doesn't affect the intake at all? I would think getting mud or water up to that little "cup" on the end of the intake would be bad

    I modified the passenger side inner fender liner to block stuff from going into the intake. Most of the inner liner mounting locations were cut off when the fenders were cut.

    here are some pics of mine. where I have it trimmed off, the edge of the plastic tucks up inside the lower lip of my plate bumper that I manufacture.

    Here you can just barely see the heads of the self drilling screws that go into the inner structure under the battery tray.

    Thanks for the pics Caleb. Ryan, do you have any pictures of how you modified the intake? Anything would be helpful. I'm trying to get as many ideas as possible before I dive into this headfirst
