3. Disconnect fog light harness from back of each fog lamp (if applicable).


4. Remove (8) nuts from studs using 18mm socket. (Ref. Figure 1)

6. Remove OEM bumper and set aside. (Ref. Figure 2)


7. Remove two dart clips from top bumper trim plastic using Phillips screwdriver. Set trim aside as it will not be re-used. (Ref. Figure 3)


8. Remove the turn signal from the back side of grille, this is done by rotating and pulling light out. (Ref. Figure 4)


10. At this point there are several clips at the base of the grille. Pulling firmly at this location the grille should now be free. (Ref. Figure 6)


IV. Grumper Preparation


1. Remove the Grumper from the shipping carton. Lay all items out on a non-scratch surface to prevent damage to the powder coating.
