Lower front facia removal

[JeffG]

Can anyone tell me if you can pop off the lower insert (yellow in pic) without taking anything else apart? And if not, how about removing the lower fascia itself (blue in pic) without doing whole front end?

Thanks in advance for any help!

If your front is anywhere near the previous versions, you'll have to remove both the blue and yellow areas as it is all one piece. It appears to be two looking at it from the front, but is a solid one piece (from the inside rear you'll see).

Mine is a 23 so it may be different. No idea if the lower will come off alone.
Having said that, on the 23 the entire lower and upper come off as one piece. Sounds scary but it really isn't. I had to do it when I installed the diode dynamics fog lights.
You might want to go on their website and watch their front bumper assembly removal video. That will show you what it takes to get the front off. It really isn't that difficult if you are handy.
No idea if they have a 25 video up but you might get lucky.

Thank you. Have watched the video. I was hoping DD took off the whole front because they needed to do that for their kit rather than be required no matter what. Shucks! I'm going to do a modification for fog lights too. Unfortunately, as you can see I have FX4 tow hooks so the DD kit won't work. I think Baja Squadrons will fit next to the tow hooks, with a little work, mounted on their off-road brackets (on top of a custom bracket to support it) and so if I could just get off that lower trim piece of to make my bracket, then I might just fish the harnesses up. Oh well.

It's not too difficult to remove the entire thing. Take your time and be careful. Having an assistant is a good idea, but I have a large wingspan and did mine alone.

Yup thx looks like that's what I got to do.

Also, make sure you place a heavy blanket or something for protection underneath in case you drop it, that way it won't get scratch up. It shouldn't be that difficult. I have removed many in the past from different models, mainly to ad fog lights.
