Have a pre-97 XJ, with stock front bumper...Trying to keep things looking as stock as possible, so I was wondering...

Anybody know how much trimming of the valence is necessary?

Pics appreciated, thank you!

According to the instructions, it should be much. You are going to lose some ground clearance though.

I'm curious why you didn't spend a couple extra bucks and get a bumper with all the benefits?

Not a matter of money. I want to maintain the original look I remember from when I was a kid riding around in my Dad's Cherokee.

I installed this on my XJ because I didn't have any recovery point on the front. I just used a dremel and windowed the lower valance. It looked factory this way.
