    Hey all. Just bought an RCI front skid plate in the hopes of being able to remove this god awful black plastic portion of the front bumper. I don't see anything on here about that part but I'm assuming taking it off is easy and won't harm anything. Am I correct?

    Thank you. I saw on RCI you have to remove the air dam but did not know that's what it is called. I appreciate it

    Pretty easy there's I think 5 or 6 bolts. I put them all back in place after removal. The truck looks A LOT better without that ugly POS.

    Push tabs? I thought mine was bolted on .. if they are push pins you pry the center pin out and once the center pin is removed the tab falls out.
