Nice truck. Ehat exactly do you think your gonna have problems with? I just replaced mine. The clips are a pain when seperating the trim from the grille. All you can do to not break em is go easy take your time.

If it has the surround and mounting brackets built in, it'll be super easy.. couple nuts off, and swap nuts back on.

If not.. I dono.. haven't done one of those.

If the trim is included then itll be really easy. Bolt off, bolt on. I think itll look good cause of the flareside.
