1016 viewsI reused the cut pieces and riveted them back to the trimmed bumper corners so I would have a nice edge instead of a narrow cut one and a way to mount the inner fenders back to it. I would epoxy glue those later in this process for stability as those rivets would never last by themselves under off roading conditions. Nov 14, 2026 at 07:34 PM
