    So I’ve been looking at the Highline front bumper for my 3rd gen and I actually like that bumper over the Slimline. HOWEVER, I love the stage 2 clearance “wings” oh lu can get for the slimline bumper but the price is almost double.

    Has anyone had any experience/luck with installing the Slimline stage 2 clearance wings on a Highline bumper from BodyArmor 4x4? Pics would bemuch appreciated.

    I do like the viper cut and I know it looks very similar. Tbh I’ll probably run that for a while but I do like the idea of it actually being somewhat armor down the line compared to just being cut

    I don't understand how you would think these would be compatible.

    Hence why I’m asking if anyone else has done or tried it. If you don’t have anything helpful to say then get lost :thumbsup:

    Not too many pics on this thread but I did it with a really good friend of mine, only took me and her a day with a ton of goofing off so I'd say they're very easy also use a angle grinder to cut close to the line and a grinding disk to smooth down the edges up to the line
