OR... you could just pay attention, I took mine off twice by myself with nothing but a ratchet and socket. No injuries...

Spent a good 5 hours today at 4 junk yards looking for a straight (unlike mine) non-chrome front bumper to fit my F150, and nothing... they are either chrome or bent.

Yeah, there was a decent chrome one at the 1st place I went, may go back tomorrow and pick it up. What sucks is they want more for the chrome ones and I'm gonna paint the dang thing lol.
