the bumper is in my garage half of the time, 2 reasons, it gives me a better approach angle, and with the bumper and valance on, i can't have the tow hooks on the front... so when i go wheeling, i have to take off the valance, but to do that, i have to take the bumper off (4 bolts) then remove the valance from the bumper, which is about 10 or so bolts, and 8 clips, then re install the bumper... so i started just removing the whole thing and leaving it off for when i want it off... i'll eventually make a plate bumper, but that's down the road
