I'm in the process of building my front bumper "guard". The space below the grill and top portion of the bumper (which is swaged inward) seems to allow air across a portion of cooling fins. A piece of 2"x3" rect tube is going to run across this space. I plan on drilling 5 holes 2" in diameter thru the tubing to allow airflow. Do you guys think this is enough or should I drill more???

Maybe I'll take some pics if my explanation is hard to understand. Let me know.
Thanks

Maybe you should make a hole as big as the OEM vent? That would be safe. Use flat bar verts as fins to keep the big stuff out...maybe 2" apart?

Not a bad idea. I'm working with a sawzall, hand drill and that's about all. I know I cannot cut it out that way straight and make it look nice. I do have 2" holesaw and will sleeve it with 2"od DOM tube. I may be able to get 9 or 10 holes. Alot of work but I'm limited by my tools and skills. Wish me luck.

Sawzall, drill, and a grinder can do anything...just takes time

Buy a few round gringing stones to do inside the radius with.

I will need that or I'll be forced to use a rat-tail file. Thanks for the advice and confidence.
