    For those of you that have the hybrid front bumper on a 3rd gen, can you take the grill off without removing the bumper?

    You for sure can on the full plate bumper. I can't imagine it would be different for the hybrid.

    For those with 2nd gen rear bumpers, the steel of the brute force bumper is way thicker than stock so the part of the license plate light that is supposed to clip onto the bumper won’t fit. What did you guys do? Modify the bumper or the light? Or maybe something else?

    I had a 3rd gen and Billy had some aftermarket lights that I just wired in and it worked great. I would just call up Billy and ask. He has done so many i'm sure there is an easy solution.

    Too much to list, but enough to get me in trouble. Repeatedly.
    Man, it's been a while. I'll try to remember...

    I'm using the stock lights.
    Iirc, I slipped something inside the clips. Hard to describe without seeing it. I may also no be remembering correctly, either. Whatever I did, it was super easy and pretty obvious.

    I was trying to remember on mine also. Mine are stock. I think mine are just snapped in but also held with some black silicone adhesive.

    Does anyone have a lead on a flip up plate holder for the rear that would fit in the space?

    Ok here is what I have setup on my rig. Bruteforce front bumper, Bruteforce sliders, and Warfab rear. The rear license plate is text screwed into the tailgate. I did apply paint to the screw thread to prevent rust and water ingress.
