Hi all,
I'd like to remove the front bumper on my2011 SV to straighten out a slight dent, and I was wondering what is entailed in doing so. Do I have to pull the grille first, or can it be done with it still on the truck?

It's been a good number of years since I pulled my bumper to install my winch mount. As I recall you need to pull the grille to access some of the bumper bolts from above the bumper.

Pull the grille, there's some bolts on top, bolts on braces behind the end caps, unplug your fog lights (if you have them). You can take the whole thing off as one piece or take the end caps off by themselves if you want.
