Sure is. that is one of the three playgrounds at Wellsville. Property right on Ohio River. About hour from Canton. Damaged rear bumper on end. cut the ends off the front.

yeah I know. it was bouncing around and got a little out of place. I hope to the Good Lord I don't roll her over but if I do. what is the SOP for rolling over? Same as airplane? put all tray tables in upright position and bend over and hold your knees? 
I take it none of this group has trimmed the rear bumper, just the front.....

Yep, I trimmed mine. Not to make it look good though. It was pretty well destroyed, and always getting in the way. Instead of just running without, I decided to dremel it off. I have another stock one that I am going to do the stubby conversion on, but for the time being just chopped the beat one. I had some tears and holes on one of the two "bump outs" so I had to cut on the inside of those. As you can see, the frame is right in the middle of that area. If you want to make it look decent, I would cut just on the outside of those bulges. If you want it to look really good, search for stubby rear bumper mod and see how some guys cut them down and "welded" the outer plastic to the ends to finish it off...
This is temp for me, until I do a nicer cut job on the new stock bumper in my garage. That one will be a little better temporary one until I buy a good aftermarket rear stubby.
