is this black plastic piece attached to the bumper? can it be removed?

 

[Musclemckeester]

Bottom of the front bumper? If so, yes that can be removed.

 

[justin443]

yes
does it just clip in i cannot see any wrenches being involved

Yep just plastic clips, but once its off... good luck getting it back on.

i ripped mine off in the mud hole and wasn't able to get it back on with the same clips, i just zip tied it on

Mine rubbed when I put on 37s and I just never bothered to trim it and put it back on. It's just a bunch of tabs to pop out.

sweet, i am not planning on putting it back on, it gives the illusion that the truck sits higher hahaha a very inexpensive mod.

i wish mine could be put back on, it give the illusion of a tilted front bumper with alot of gap, ordered a set of ebay they really do clean the look of the 2nd gens up

I thought of taking mine off. Does anybody else lifted have theirs off? Do you wish you had left it on or like it better off?

 

[justin443]

My last truck was lifted and i had ran over a post in the sand when i was at the beach and the post ripped it off so i left it off, i personally like it better off, gives a little more clearance in the front

On 3rd Gen I was never a fan of people removing it because then the body lines didn't match up. On the 4th gens it looks like that plastic piece is actually lower

 

[triangleman29]

Yea, I scraped it on a couple of rocks when I was out hunting When I was going downhill..

No regrets. I could trim it a little and put it back on, but I'm used to it off now and like it.

yeah i hit a puppy or a baby seal cant remember but it ripped it off.

no but it does look better without it, also i believe it helps with aeromatics(mater) if anyones been under a ecoboost they pretty much have panels all the way back to the bell housing.
