Snake cut on front bumper!!

[Deleted member 5428]

Soo I love the snake cut on the Tacoma's, out of curiosity has anyone done something similar on their Ranger… I’m tempted just need to make some time.

the viper cut? it may actually look good on a ranger. i never liked it on tacomas because of the chinstrap.-never flowed well.
since the ranger has a straight clean bumper it would probably look great with the sides swept up. like the ranger raptor. problem is it being steel and having to repaint, then how close you want to get to the fogs.

yes, that why I have been hesitant on doing it, Iv taped it off did all my measurements so it basically just comes down to me cutting it.

Bumper replacement seems like a better option, especially if you want a winch.

nah not needing a wench just want to clear 35” but just looking for a little bit of a different look without have to spend 2k on a front bumper, if that makes sense.

It’s a way to cut part of the front bumper off - it makes it look like the truck has fangs….

I think the original intention was to be able to fit larger tires or provide clearance for articulation but I think it’s become a cosmetic mod.

I had to Google it myself .

Yeah no thanks. They have plastic bumpers.

I don't think you could do it on the ranger. The fog light placement doesn't seem like it would work

 

[jcru1017]

It would be close to the fog light. The issue with me is, since I have a long travel front end it looks like the tire will hit at compression since I’m still running stock bumper

Yeah sorry about that guys I tried to copy a link which didn’t go through, I’m writing and reading in between stops at work. But it’s only to gain my clearance for tires that’s all. It wouldn’t be the same cut of course cause we have different body lines, was just curious if anyone on here had done such a thing. Thank you all.

Once again this place reminds me of the Subie forums in 2005/2006.

"Hey guys, are their any "Altezza" lights for our cars?"

NO! I can’t think of any good reason to cut ypur bumper.
