I am trying to sand down my truck so I can get a paint job on it but it is being a pain because I cannot get the front and back bumpers off because of some screws. If anyone knows how to take these screws off which are round and are held in by a back screw that would be great. The back I think I can handle, but does anyone know where to get a front and rear bumper, gas cap, and new rear tail lights that look a little classy. I don't know how to insert pice but if you can give me your email or tell me how to post pics, that would be great. Thanks

Not sure what exactly they "screws" you are talking about they should just be held on by either a 17 or 18mm I can't remember right off hand.

Unbolt the brackets from the frame instead of trying to get the chrome bolts that hold the bumper to the bracket out. Three bolts per side on the front and it is off, pretty much the same thing on the back too.

ah I see. I never tried taking the bumpers off the mounts, I have always unbolted them from the frame. Guess I knew a Luv trick and didn't even know it :lol:

I see how it may present a problem trying it the other way.
