    How difficult was it to first take the entire nose cap off, and second remove the grill insert and trim?

    Rhino Liner... I like the idea. I have zero experience with the stuff. Doing the grill and raw plastic fender trims might be worth a go. First I need to actually get the truck.

    It's tough to get your hands in there but I got the grille off pretty easily. Took me an hour to tak off and plasti-dip the grill.

    I haven't reassembled yet. In the garage now working on it. Had to hold off due to in-laws being in town.

    Disassemble is INCREDIBLY easy once you understand what's going on. 2 screws and 2 plastic pin screws. Pop out the front end. From there, unscrew the grill from the lips and you're set. All together... 15 min because I wasn't too sure of things. If I had to do it again... 5 min.

    Funny funny...

    Train horn would be a blast! Imagine sitting in a parking lot and messing with the folks walking by. Hah!

    Not big on light bars... Might get a light bar when/if I buy an aftermarket grille.

    Next minor mods will be K&N air intake, LED dome/map lights, and new bedside decals.

    Next major mod will be bolt on sliders. Anyone know of any out yet for the '16s? Any advice/tips on sliders? Etc?
