    Is this removable without removing the bumper?

    It's easy but HELLA time consuming.

    took me longer to take the trim off than the bumper itself.

    I didn't have any beef with it. IIRC, you gotta remove the center license plate piece first, then the sides pop right off how Jerry described. I used linemans pliers to ssqueeze the nubs together and push up. Once you pop 2-3, the rest are easy. It's holding the 1st while doing 2nd & 3rd.

    Anyone found an aftermarket replacement for these that aren't as slippery. I've busted my ass countless times climbing into the bed on these.
