I will more than likely have to remove my grill also, since there is no way to mount offroad long range lights on the front end without getting inside the grill to make some brackets or getting an ugly aftermarket and expensive light bar or bull bar. The exploded drawings in the website Ford Parts Online - Genuine Wholesale Ford Parts make removing the grill look pretty simple. Just lots of fasteners of different kinds. I wonder how come they can't all be the same?

Well there are rivets on the top that fasten to a brace that attaches to the vehicle and I'm not sure on how to deal with, also the bottom tabs are pretty secure.
No one has anny suggestions?

The tabs were flexible but took some "manipulating" (flat head screw driver) to get them out.
Also, there are metal rivets that attach the grill to a support brace. I ended up drilling them out and replacing them with removable plastic rivets(4).
I will try to post some pics.
