[QUOTE="jondle, post: 1724897, member: 2598"] A frame cut bumper cuts a couple inches off the frame horns and tapers them at a 45'ish degree angle. I don't see them as any less safe as you're replacing them with steel in the bumper. It gives a significantly better approach angle. I guess thinking about safety, you'd be replacing a more "crumple zone" bumper with more solid steel tubing. By glass, I just meant fiberglass fenders with 4" more height and 4" more width. This lets you accommodate larger tires and more suspension travel. Generally speaking, both of those parts are going to cost less than OEM replacements, so you might as well since you're replacing them anyway. [/QUOTE]
