Front bumper removal write up

I know there are some how tos out there. More pics cant hurt for those hesistant about tackling it.


Remove the 4 10mm bolt and clip on top of grill. Pull the top up off where it was screwed in.

Reach under the grill and slide hand across. You can feel 3 spots where there are tabs. Pull away from truck and remove grill.


Remove the two tabs and two 10mm screws in the wheelwell for the garnesh below the headlighight. Pull away from the truck.

The splash guard has two 10mm screws and pop up tab in the frame. Be careful and use a small flat head to pop off the tab as its easy to break. I broke mine.

Underneath there are also two 10mm and 12mm screws.

Once off you have access to the fog light. Unplug it. After it's unplugged you can remove it by using a small flat head screw driver and pop down from the top and it will come out.


On the bottom of the center valence are three 10mm bolts. On top where you remove the headlight garnish are two silver 12mm bolts on both sides. Once done the bumper comes off as once whole piece.


Remove the 10mm bolts holding the end caps to the metal brace that holds it all together.



Don't forget the orientation of this piece used to screw the splash guard to under the endcap.

Now drive around getting weird looks without front bumper while you wait on your caps to get painted/powder coated.

 

nice! thanks for sharing!

 

look @Sean266....now you can take your front bumper off....easy step by step instructions

 

Thanks!

 

I legit did this today and was searching for a guide... I got started right before you published it so I never saw it. I just sort of figured it out. But I ended up removing the splash guard and it was a pain to get back on.

props for doing this to help out others!

 

Did this myself. No write up or guide. Ended up with like 7 extra bolts

 

I got my oil changed and they didn't put back in the bolts that connect the valance to the skid plate. Now I think I know what I need to replace them. Thanks.

 

It always happens. At least it's not your suspension with extra bolts

 

Hahaha... very true.

 

subd for this weekend. ill be doing this in a couple days

 

This is exactly what I needed

 

Just replaced my fogs and realized how far off the passenger chrome bumper corner is. The top is pushed forward at least an inch which is throwing off the fog light pattern. Bought the truck like this and at first i thought it was just a cosmetic anomaly from some minor damage to the chrome corner.

Anyone have more images of how these chrome parts attach to the bumper? I pulled the grill and trim piece below the headlight today but had limited time and put it back together before i could find the culprit.

Picture shows how far off the passenger is compared to the driver side.

I'm also assuming the parking sensors need to be unplugged when dropping the bumper...anything else im missing?
