    2017 Limited: After crushing the lower passenger side front bumper on a stump, I had nothing to lose by cutting off the bumper. I didn’t like how low it sits anyway. Now there’s still a lot of plastic pieces that hang down - probably enclosed the bumper. The pieces seem all connected, so it’s hard to figure out which to cut. Anybody else do this and have a final solution? And pics? IMG_7229.jpg IMG_7229.jpg IMG_6206.jpg IMG_6215.jpg

    I don’t have the full answer, however in the pic, that is your fender liner. It can be cut or bent and attached to the remaining bumper bits so it does not flap. I did that briefly when I cut my bumper back due to larger tires. I don’t have a limited though and you cut more than I did.

    bending requires heat so it will form to the new shape and I was able to zip tie to some brackets.

    might be able to put a hidden winch bumper for the middle part. (Not sure of limited comparability) those bumpers require cutting the middle section on non limited trims. (I have one if you are in the PNW)

    I hope you find a good solution.
