I need some help!! Front bumper removal

Hey Guys,

I decided to go for broke and install new fog lights in the lower grill as well as black out everything while I was at it.

I have the brush guard off and everything else that I can think of but the bumper will not come off. It is hung up below the blinker somewhere.

I did find a post where Nestahedition pointed out the clip and the directions of how to get it off of there, but the photo was gone and I have tried everything the blue room said to do to roll the bumper off that clip.

Can you guys shoot me some advice?

Josh

You need to pull/yank out and forward from the wheel well edge and get it over the side mounts it will take some force but you will feel it give and pop off. It felt excessive when i did it but that's what it took be ginger but strong like bull.

Be aware, though .. there is a plastic block in the top corner that is not part of the bumper skin .. if you grab that part and haul hard enough, you'll break it. Here's a pic of what not to haul on (but the clips that you need to release are between this and the bumper skin.
