    I will have amps and radio bodies under the seat, which will be bolted down so no need for that specific use. I mean, not having a use hasn't stopped me from buying a mod; but it does keep it lower on the list. lol

    You CAN do it without completely removing the top of the bumper (I did). There are 4 clips attached to the top piece that can be popped out from the bottom (helps for someone to apply upward pressure to keep them from popping back in while you pop them out from below). You can wiggle the caps out that way. There is one clip that is pretty much impossible to remove without tugging.

    It’s a plastic piece with a metal clip with metal teeth that bite into the plastic. Mine broke on one side and there is no way I could have gotten the metal clip back on anyway. No room at all for fingers (unless @BOSS-DS2 knows some method I am unaware of). Without these 2 clips being replaced I have no wiggle.

    I sanded the shit out of the fake chrome and did primer, matte black then flat black enamel. Turned out great.

    This is motivating AF. I'm editing as I type here. Trying to shave off some time at this point, it's a long video.

    You can do it that way, and videos online cover the manner in which you did it as well. As opposed to risking breaking clips off, I just went ahead and disassembled the entire thing. With painting and everything it took me four hours at most.

    I replaced both caps and never took anything off. You can just pop the clips off and tug the covers off. Disassembly and reassembly was maybe 30 minutes

    Didn’t take me much longer to do it the “right way”, in my experience sometimes removing a few more parts makes the whole job a lot more bearable, don’t have to attempt to reinstall clips with little to no finger room.

    So with removing the top you can access the metal clips? I would have done it that way if I knew that :facepalm:

    I’m assuming you’re referring to the razor blade looking things, and yes when removing the entire bumper end you can access all plastic clips and those metal ones as well.

    Might want to add an aftermarket power steering cooler from Derale or Hayden with those 35's in the summer heat. You can even use a frame rail transmission cooler or get one with a fan if you need something larger.
