My God, I hoped it would be simpler than all that! It looks like its held in
there by just a few clips. Is this how its done to put in an aftermarket
billet grill?

Naw, I need to replace a bulb in a KC light mounted in there. It's a booger
to get to, through the top.

That old dog jumps up to greet me every time I drive across the cattle guard
comming home. Mostly he jumps over the tailgate now, cause I keep the
windows up. He ain't really leaving scratch marks (scratch IN the paint),
the toenails are sorta drawing ON the paint, I can rub it off if I rub hard.

I did get a roadrunner stuck in the grill once. I even ripped off the
passenger side mirror by hitting a turkey that suddenly flew outa the bar
ditch a while back, I fixed it though.

Jeepers, Good to know everything is normal "back on the ranch"! We have
those damn roadrunners here in AZ too. Not nearly as smart as the one that
Whiley Cyote chased.

I never took mine out so I can't say if you can get by with less than what I
posted. I just posted what the Chilton manual says is the removal steps. I
didn't build the thing or write the manual (just joking around with last
sentance:-).
