Bumper Disassembly... Anybody done it?

Within 24 hours of driving my taco off the lot someone smashed into my bumper and didn't leave a note.

The dealer hooked me up with a free part to replace the shattered chrome/plastic but I have to do the work myself.

I looked underneath and it looks like only two bolts hold the chrome panel in place but they're underneath the whole bumper, so I have to take the whole thing apart.

It's not as intuitive as I'd hoped so I was curious if any of you have done it and can give me pointers so I don't screw it up.

Thanks.

Ahhh thank you! Now I'm mad I couldn't find that post on my own.

 

It's okay.

I'm glad you didn't reply back and say it didn't help you or answer your question (it's happened before..).

I left the page open just in case you didn't make it to post #22.

Good luck! Pretty cool of the dealer to give you a freebie, seems like those caps aren't cheap.

 

Haha I definitely found #22 so thanks again.

Yeah, I think they felt bad for me since I hadn't even had the truck 24 hours. Looks like the caps are $178 so that was definitely cool of them.
