And by removing it, you can move your front wheels up 1 inch, making it easier to climb stuff.
It makes the mounting of side and front bumpers with a part not yet in CAD much easier. Once I get the bumper mounts finished I'll upload them and you can see why it needs the front chassis extending all the way out. (all four bumpers can be attached and removed with 8 1/4-30 bolts, all vertical facing and easy to access.)
