Don't do that. I've seen the video on grill removal. Total BS and a waste of time, broken clips etc. Remove driver side battery. Reach in there replace bulbs. Remove passenger side battery and air intake, replace bulbs. Done
How do I know this? I've done it myself

I've removed my grill twice on my '17, never broke a clip... actually quite simple.

I totally believe you. I haven't had luck with clips since 1985, so I avoid them at all costs.

OP. Watch the video and determine if it’s possible. I don’t know what your ranch hand looks like so I cant comment on that part. What I can add is my experience removing the grille. Twice. Twice because I forgot to reconnect the little sprayer hose for the front camera washer. The bottom clips on the grille can be tricky but just take your time and you won’t bust clips like Scags. When Scags said he busts clips, I was expecting it to be gun related 😂. To install the 8” Bars in the grille, you want the grille off. It makes it so much easier to align and secure the light bars.

Hey Scags, question is still unanswered!!!

How about OP posts a picture of his bumper so we have a better idea what he's asking? lol

You need to pull the grill forward maybe 3" to get a long screwdriver behind it to release the bottom clips (4 total).

can't comment on the aftermarket bumper but you will need about 3-4" of clearance from the grill to the next obstruction to remove the grill.
