I took a look at the valance tonight to prepare to remove it. Looks easy enough and trimming the sides looks simple. My question is will I gain much in doing it? I have the stock brush guard on the vehicle now and plan to keep it there until I can afford an aftermarket front bumper. With it on it appeas as though cutting the valance will only gain me clearance directly in front of the front wheels (where I cut).

Is it worth the effort or should I just wait until I get a new bumper?

Thanks,
Todd

Those damn newbies and their questions... ;)

Hey Todd,

Yes, the brushguard will still hang low there, but if you don't do it, you may just end up crushing the air dam, then removing a broken one. Considering the effort is rather negligible, why not?
