Did this to my FJ and really like the look. Thinking of getting the winch that hides in the stock bumper, but maybe I’ll go with a new bumper eventually. Thanks again!!
Great look and going to do this to mine but the hell with screws, double sided emblem tape all the way around and those are never coming off until yo want them to.
+Steven Stritenberger I thought about using the tape, but I didn't want to worry about it after going through deep mud or water. I would rather just screw it in
Sorry to ask a question on an old video, but just got my FJ. Did you set these into the 'pocket' the original ends were set in, or does it ride flush with the rest of the bumper? If the latter, the folks talking about using tape would need to inset it into the 'pocket' or there's not anything for the tape to attach to. I'm thinking about doing this with maybe more bolts (or black rivets) - so the connectors look somewhat decorative Thanks for the video - I've heard people talk about doing this mod, and how much the commercial packages for it cost, wanted to find an alternative that felt more like I did it myself :)
+Gus Vignart I did no drilling. I used the previous holes and "remove the old holes"? Do you mean to ask if I filled them in? I didn't fill them with anything.
+Jim Welch accidentally running into a low pole will surely remove it..lol..that's how i "removed" my passenger side one. I tried to put all of the tips in the video, I can't think of any more.

Awesome! Glad you did. I enjoyed it while I had it. Now I have a Smittybilt bumper
Good idea. I just bought that 1 bumper. Next time I will surely put this plate. I like it
Thank you! Your video is the only one I could find on removing those end caps.
This mod is kick a$$. Looks way more utilitarian and practical.
Did this mod a while back came out great, it is crazy to buy the kits online.
+Hizix YT exactly!
FYI If you put some fuzzy side of velcro taped to the bottom of your saw it wont scratch
+Jeff Weissman I never thought of that, great idea! Thanks
looks awesome
Heck yeah brother i look forward to watching I am gonna do a video soon with install of 52 in light bar

I'd like to see you install some of the fj cruiser light pods with mounts
+Brad Evans that is coming soon..I've been making a relay box for the switches I installed and putting that in

Mine fits in the 'pocket'. The black rivets should be a nice touch too.
@@LegitRaceCraft Thanks. Looking forward to doing this on my FJ!
Just save up and get a nice bumper this makes it look like a cheap piece of crap
That's cool!
Did you drill through the bumper to install the bolt hardware? Were the holes within the recessed portion of the part removed?
+Gus Vignart I did no drilling. I used the previous holes and "remove the old holes"? Do you mean to ask if I filled them in? I didn't fill them with anything.
Well done! Im doing this mod to my 07 titanium. Any more tips in removing the end caps?

@@LegitRaceCraft I gave mine a swift downward kick with my boot. came off like nothing ;)
Any way I could have you make more of these and I can buy them from you
Yep stealing this idea
