I have done a few, and that reflector is pinched in between. It is fine if you don't put the rivet back, since it is being held by the 2 screw or the fender liner is held hy 2 screw to that lose inner air guide.

Hi there!
I managed to take 3 screws out but I couldn't take the trim out. Can you share your experience prying out and releasing the clips that's hooked on to? I was only managed to take the outer one but not the bent one on the inside. |

I always do it that way. So I remove the trim from the bracket on the bench.

This was a very informative writeup. I used it to replace the chrome tips with black times. Taking the bumper off wasn't too difficult, but I did have to take all of the screws off from the underside of the bumper. I wasn't sure which ones anchored it to the substructure, so I removed all of them.
There are a couple of tabs on the top side of the exhaust that keep it in the bracket. Once I released the tabs, the exhaust tips popped right out. Disassembly took the longest, because of the care needed to pull the bumper off. Reassembly went really quickly. |

Anyone not taking the bumper off is nuts! I’m no stranger to taking apart cars and used to be a installer. Those screws are insane, I spent 2 hours last night trying to get to them without luck. I had the bumper off in 30 minutes tonight.
Here's a few more details to help out. Here's a pic with the exhaust tip still in the bumper so you can see the bolts and tabs. (white labels) Also, the only real spot that will give you trouble removing the bumper is under the taillights, and here is what that looks like as well (red boxes). I had to remove the taillight on the driver side as it was starting to break one of the tabs, but the passenger side was fine. It's 2 torx bolts on the rear and one 10mm nut on the inside of the cargo bay, front of the light. Lastly, here is what the reflector looks like as well so you know what you are dealing with.

Which screws did you end up having to remove from underneath the truck? I started this project today and got to the point where all the screws from up top were removed and then realized there's screws and rivets underneath. Wasn't sure if I needed to pop out those plastic rivets. I wanted to buy that tool to replace them if I needed to.
Any info is appreciated, thanks. |
