tow rope+tree=off thats how i did it

8 bolts per bumper and they come right off. Directions are same for the front and rear. Go up under and inside the bumper, where the end of the framerails are. 4 bolts on each side and they come right off. Simple wrench or socket and ratchet will do the trick.

Unless you're joking...FAIL!!!


Take the bolts out, and it will come right off. It's very easy, and don't do the tree method!!!!

watch the vacume canister dont rip out the hose like i did lol. other than that its pretty simple just like they said

Oh yes, I did forget to mention the vacuum canister. That will be inside your front bumper over on the passenger side. Remove that before you pull the bumper off. Just a couple of screws holding it on.

If you only found 3 bolts on either side of your bumper where I told you to look then that's probably all that are there. Pull the bolts you see and it will come off.

Im doing the same, thanks for telling me about the vacuum canister I would never have guessed.

Pull the vaccum hose for the canister up into the engine bay and find a safe place to stash your canister and plug it back in, otherwise your heater controls will quit working.
