turbot_bird , i had to use a die grinder with a 3 inch cut off wheel to cut the welds. the problem with a chop saw is the mounting plate on the end of the tube would not let you put it in the saws vise. you could use a cut off wheel to cut the tube shorter, it would just take longer.

frenchy, this is the only way i saw to bring the bumper back to were its suppose be. there is no adjustment to these things. it all mounts off of the hexagon frame tubes.

thanks guy for your compliments and inputs !!!
