    I have a question for people that have put a bull bar on their tacomas, I have a 2nd gen 2009 and I just ordered one. How hard is it going to be to remove the nuts from the bolts on the bumper brackets so I can put the bull bar brackets on??? I see there are 2 nuts on each side to remove, do I need to buy an air ratchet or will a socket set typically do the job with no problems, thanx...

    I removed mine by hand with a regular 3/8" drive socket set. They're on there pretty tight, but nothing that a regular human being cannot handle.
