Default Removing Grill?

How do I remove the grill on our 2010 Crew Cab Laramie in the easiest way?

Don't have to get it compleatly out, just need to run some wires and stuff that way

So if it's possible to just "tilt" it out that would be fine to

The referenced instructions are great. I'd only alter them slightly to say to tape off the top of the bumper to avoid scratches.

If you only need to reach behind the grille, versus removing it (like for headlight replacement) then you can just tip it outward once you have the four top bolts removed. It tips out a fair amount.

Was looking for that link on Sunday but couldn't find it. No matter, once I started it turned out to be pretty easy to remove. Installed my color matched w/billet grill. Nice chrome grill for sale for anyone close to San Antonio/New Braunfels. Also decided to embrace the other chrome and add a few pcs. Jeff.

Didn't really have a price in mind. Paid $357 for the new one so maybe around $150. Jeff.

Looks good! Where did you purchase your new color matched grill? Online or dealership? I'm looking to get a inferno red with billet inserts to replace my chrome one.

hendog0311, I got it thru the dealer. I think they could be found else where cheaper but I just didn't have the time to search around and I get along with my dealer really good. They gave me a 25% discount on it, but with tax was still $357. Jeff.
