    Anybkdy know of any good YouTube videos about removing the front bumpers on these trucks? I looked and looked last night and didn’t find anything useful. I’m pulling mine tomorrow morning to install a hidden winch plate and wanted some kind of guidance on what to and what not to do. I’m hoping one of
    You fine gentleman had a link to share.

    It didn’t come wth instructions??

    Removing the front bumper is super easy. I don’t remember exactly how I did it but it was just a bunch of plastic clips. Pop those and pull it off with the grill then remove the crash bar and crush piece.

    It came with instructions as thotough as saying to remove the front bumper. I know there are secret clips hiding all over the place. Just wouldnt mind seeing them before I dive in.

    Got it all done. Decided while I was in there to change out the noisy body mounts and get rid of that pesky sway bar too.
