sure, use a flash light and look at the tabs and you can then see how to use a screwdriver to release them

Long straight bladed screwdriver. The clips are in a "V" shape, with the bottom of the V towards the front and the open end of the V towards the back of the truck- and the flat part of the V parallel to the ground. Put the blade tip left to right across the top of the V, push down a little (doesn't take much force) while gently nudging the grill forward. It will go very easily- its all abotu the clips.

If the tabs are the same ones used on 99-04, I use a large long flat screwdriver and with each tab, push up on the lower portion of the metal to compress it while pulling out at the same time on the grill.

With my grill the bottom I can barely see with the bumper plastic warped up to the grill. I know there's a TSB to fix the bumper plastic but it hasn't been done to my pickup. I am assuming the tabs are accessed from between the grill and the plastic?
