How do I remove front bumper?
Specifically, how do I gain access to the top bumper bolt on each side? It looks like I'll have to dig deep and take off an entire clip. Please tell me I won't have to do that?

Re: How do I remove front bumper?
I remove the bumper bracket bolts to the frame and remove the bumper with the brackets attached. With the bumper assembly off you can get at the top bolts.

 I wish I had thought 'outside the box' yesterday and figured that out for myself. Thanks!

Re: How do I remove front bumper?
What if those bolts on the frame to bumper bracket won't break loose?

Re: How do I remove front bumper?
Use a "hot wrench"... they'll break loose.

Re: How do I remove front bumper?
I had to bust out the ol' torch for mine. After a frustrating 2 hours trying to get it off, sometimes its worth it.

Re: How do I remove front bumper?
I'm glad I came to this conclusion (like JimKshortstep4x4 said) before I recently removed mine (it was quick and uneventful).
