Accessing Front Bumper Without Removal

3002 tii · 12-08-2014, 09:15 PM

Is there anyway for me to access the back of the front bumper without actually removing the entire bumper, i.e. can I reach back there by removing the kidney grills or will the bumper support bar get in my way?

Reason I ask is I want to see if I can mount a rare earth magnet back there so I can make an easily detachable (centered) front plate holder.

The bumper carrier will most likely be in your way. I just removed my bumper this past weekend. It's not hard at all. If you live in a area with lots of stones it's worth taking off as well as your under body shields to clean them out.
