    Hello all
    Im trying to find out some info on the removal of this piece as i would like to wrap or paint it.
    I want to know how difficult/easy it is to remove.
    I cannot seem to find any instructions. I spent time searching the forum.

    This is pretty easy to remove. You'll need to pull the grill first. Then there are clips all around the perimeter of the bumper insert that you'll see with a flashlight. You'll want to remove (I think one push pin and a couple friction fit clips) the radiator splash guards. Your challenge will be the two blue clips at the lower corners. I was replacing mine so I just cut the clips out but you'll have to be more careful. Taco Bandit has a great YouTube video of his process if you Google his channel and Tacoma front bumper replacement. Let me know if you have questions once you get into it. I may have missed a step here by memory.
