Front cladding trim, rock bumper and slidders

[Ldub]

Thanks Mang...

That gives me a much better idea of what you're going for.

This-a-gonna look much nice!

Very nice! Is the bumper going to be mainly under the cladding then? I'm still hazy as to precisely what your going for but am very interested nonetheless (is that supposed to be one word?) Anywho very nice and i look forward to seeing the completed project! What are you gonna do about the little bumper tube things that are now exposed?

Awesome! Wish I had a spare bumper to mess with Great forward clearance.

Knivx, I believe he's going to put a bumper similar to this


Below the cladding as it sits now.

So it would seem that all the clearance gained by trimming is going to be lost to a bumper? I could see like a simple bar like a rock slider for the front but maybe i'm still not looking fourth dimensionally or something. Either way can't wait to see it!

This was his target "LOOK"...

Yep, LDub is correct. Tube and depending on space maybe a spot for a winch.

Damn Billy! Your VX is going to be a lean, mean, wheeling machine! That's awesome you still have a nice piece of front cladding for when your VX needs to go to weddings and other formal occasions. I can't wait to see the end result!

From the looks of the pictures are you thinking of rounding off the edges of the cladding? I am thinking of a nice gentle sweeping angle from the wheel weel to the blinker. Right now the 90 degree angle cut in the cladding looks definitely cut and I don't think it fits the feel of the VX right now. If you are going to have a lot of hard angles and straight lines in the bumper than I could see it coming together nicely in the end, but just a thought. I think I would round the edge, but once you cut you can never go back. What were your thoughts?
