How to Replace Front Bumper Remove and Install 2007-2013 Silverado

[@wesleydodson2223]

You can take 4 bolts loose and take the bumper off and set it on a table and it's much easier

[@dark_knight1904]

Can you make a video for this?

[@joshjulian1997]

I wish somebody would show this

[@crossedrifle247]

@Fishbone Offroad has a video of the 4 bolt removal.

[@shag733]

U can take the bumper off first, then go to replacing the middle or end caps. No need to take the grill and lights off.

[@dredouglas2135]

So you don't need to remove grille and lights to replace the middle section

[@allencooper1097]

Finally someone had the video! I been looking on KZbin for months! Great job man!

[@mycoolshows6702]

Thank you!

[@billbrasski4934]

So 13,970 Silverado owners hit a deer or a bicyclist too. I don’t feel so bad now. Thanks for the upload! Very informative. I’m about to tackle this project now. This is my go-to video for reference.

[@mycoolshows6702]

LOL! Glad to help!

back end of a big rig for me

[@Buckinghamsquire]

I have to do this today after hitting a deer a few weeks back. Definitely not as easy as the other video let on. I figured that out last night when I sstarted counting the number of bolts from underneat it. 😅 I will get it on it now just to save the time and hassle of taking it to a shop. Thanks for making the video!

[@mycoolshows6702]

Glad to have helped! I was shocked by all that had to come off as well lol.

[@michaelpacheco9733]

I lost it when you said "pry it this way so you don't pry into the paint " and proceeded to pry the tab and scratched the cap anyways lolol 🤣🤣🤣😂

[@mycoolshows6702]

LOL! Yeah I can't watch it again because of that.

[@michaelpacheco9733]

@@mycoolshows6702 good video I just got a kick out that part 😆

[@Qred09]

Just gotta take those moments in stride 😂

[@toekneegee]

Very helpful video. Replaced my bumper, end caps, and head lamps in just over 5 hours. Probably would have taken weeks if it wasn't for this video. So many unknowns going into this project. Thanks!

[@mycoolshows6702]

Glad to help!!

[@jrobb1010]

Thanks for taking the time to film this project! Very helpful. Just waiting on my bumper to come now

[@mycoolshows6702]

I couldn't find a video on it so I decided it was a good time to make one!

[@SATX_Bearded_Realtor]

Great video. This helped me swap out my front bumper face with ease. Thanks for sharing!

[@carrollrickard9684]

Well I've got my parts and this should help me (Big Time) with taking apart and putting back together. Thank you for posting !

[@mycoolshows6702]

Thanks for the comment!

[@AusInSacramento]

Awesome video, time to get dirty and do mine now. I'm sure your vid is going to save me a ton of time and cursing. Thanks man!

[@mycoolshows6702]

Glad to help thanks for the comment!

[@jessemurray1757]

thank you sir, just what I was looking for. I'm actually upgrading from the chrome grill and bumper insert to the LTZ body color with chrome mesh grill.

[@andypadilla1631]

Great job bro, You’re really good at explaining and accurate 👍

Thank you!

Good stuff, Following your steps now. Much easier than what i did last time..

[@mycoolshows6702]

Glad to help! Thank you for watching

[@Channel505]

thanks for the video, it has helped me out, I also want to ask what size are your rims and tires and do you have a life on your truck, thanks

[@kutzbrothersbasketball1081]

Good vid man, just what I was looking for, just got my new face bar in, gonna be a lot easier now to change out!

[@mycoolshows6702]

It's worth it!

[@drumsnbass]

3:57 why do you need to remove that trim? Is it holding the top down? I’m about to do all this, and my front end is a tiny bit bent making getting the passenger headlight assembly almost impossible to remove. Can I get these off without doing this?

[@mycoolshows6702]

The plastic clips that hold that trim piece in are connected to the metal frame behind the cap. and the cap covers some bumper bolts so yes you have to remove it unfortunately

[@drumsnbass]

@@mycoolshows6702 thanks for replying. Going to attempt the whole front end soon.

[@mycoolshows6702]

@@drumsnbass hope all goes well and turns out good!

[@raiderzilla45]

Great video no one have this video how to replace that chrome bumper thanks 👍🏼

[@codymoran5794]

Awesome video, saved me so much time at work haha. Thank you much🤝

[@saltrisha1]

I need to replace the right cap,i wonder if the whole plastic bottom piece needs replacing or can i just fit the cap over it

[@ivanroberts6633]

Quick question I’m not sure if you’d know this but I’m trying to look for front bumpers for a 2007 Chevy Silverado and all the options available are for 1500 models however I have a 3500 , will a 1500 front bumper fit on a 3500 body?

[@mycoolshows6702]

I believe it is possible but would wind up being a lot of extra work due to the 1500 trucks having multi-piece front bumpers. the 2500 and 3500 trucks have a one piece solid front bumper. I'm sure that the bumper hanger/support is completely different.

[@davidsage1313]

​@@mycoolshows6702 I have a 2007 2500 HD and the bumper is the same as yours same with 3500 series 2007 to 2010, have the plastic end caps

[@Greenkabin]

Damn...a lot stuff to remove before the bumper can come off, how much time does it takes for front bumper job

[@matthewrodriguez4142]

what MM were the med cap bolts and most bolts in the video my truck is missing a lot of those bolts since it didn’t come with full front end

[@mycoolshows6702]

I believe all of them smaller bolts were 10mm

[@ryanweller6242]

Great video! Could you recommend what company to buy it from?

[@mycoolshows6702]

I purchased one of the cheapest ones I could find on eBay.

[@albertfernandez-o7g]

Where did u order the new bumper??

[@rudolphdavis2387]

Were did get your new parts from?

[@dylanbarton5214]

where did you get the black emblem?

[@spikeboston2012]

Great Video, well done!

[@mycoolshows6702]

Thank you!

[@handbanana2408]

How has this bumper held up from rust? About to replace mine

[@mycoolshows6702]

still holding up great!

[@GRUPOLAAPUESTA]

Front bumper Chevy 2500 is same the 3500 ? I want buy for my 1500 Silverado

[@mycoolshows6702]

I am not sure about that. I do know that the 1500 bumper is completely different than the 2500 and 3500 bumper though.

[@jaycos4905]

Dude, did you have to take out the grill and headlights?

[@mycoolshows6702]

Due to the clips shown at 4:15 and the bolts shown around 8:02 in the video it is pretty necessary to at least remove the grill. The headlights being removed make removing the bumper end caps much easier too. In a short answer, yes you have to take the grill and headlights out. It is really isn't that hard to remove them though. What's funny is that to even replace your turn signal bulbs you have to remove the grill and the headlights lol. So if you have any bulbs blown in the front I would go ahead and replace them while you're doing this job as well.

[@danielblea7453]

You actually don't. I removed all of my bumper assembly without taking the grill and headlights off and it was just as easy. You just access the majority of the bolts from underneath. I wouldn't recommend removing grill and lights as it's unnecessary.

[@Jesuselperron1998]

What your lift height? I like how it stance out

[@mycoolshows6702]

7.5" rough country lift!

[@garrettblanchette870]

What size tires you got on there? They fit perfect.

[@mycoolshows6702]

They are 35x12.50 on 22X12 Wheels!

It's been three years. Any rust on that EBAY bumper?

[@907akkyle8]

Awesome video. Thanks for the breakdown and explaining everything

[@chasebeam278]

how’d you remove the black bottom piece that’s connected to the bumper on the very bottom

[@mycoolshows6702]

I started that process around 6:29

[@blessedcc8066]

What’s code number for your turn signal bulbs and where you get them

[@mycoolshows6702]

They're 3157 standard socket switchback bulbs! The ones I use are at www.fuzedled.com

[@oldguywinters]

Hey bro, can I get a link from you which eBay seller you bought yours from?

Appreciate the video, made it an easy job

[@mycoolshows6702]

Glad to help!

[@tribulation138]

I'm ordering a black one. I have the factory chrome one and it rusted from inside out.

[@azchieftain6528]

How the figment of the aftermarket bumper, compared to OEM?

[@mycoolshows6702]

It fit tight at first. Once you get all of the bolts in and tightened up it fits nicely. The only complaint is that it is made with thinner metal... so you can see small ripple lines in it up close at the right angle. If I were to do it again I would have tried to find a new OEM bumper.

[@robertisabel3668]

What's the part no: or name of the chrome part of the bumper you replaced

[@connorogg8606]

Do you still have the old dented piece ?

[@mycoolshows6702]

No I don't. I took it to the dump.

[@beasby5650]

Where did you order your new bumper from.

[@mycoolshows6702]

I got it from eBay. It was around $80. It is a little thinner material than the factory bumper so you can see a few ripples in it if you look closely at it. But for $80 I cannot complain!

[@blazefranks8465]

Where'd you get your headlight housings from ?

[@mycoolshows6702]

They were on the truck when I bought it. I will be purchasing new housings soon and doing a video on the install. Make sure to follow the channel to see it when it's posted!

[@shawnjohnson9181]

What’s the wheel tire and lift setup

[@mycoolshows6702]

It has the Rough Country 6" suspension lift with 22x12 -44 offset American Truxx wheels with 35x12.50 All Terrain tires.

[@ogdav57247]

How do yall like those cutouts for air flow?...my 07 Silverado 1500 LT is one piece chrome...I need to replace and i love the full bar but if the difference with more air is significant, it's a no-brainer...lmk what yall think, plz...much appreciated!...

[@cesarportillo6385]

How do you take out the bolts that are inside if u dont have the cut out?

[@lvpsychobullyvl1808]

Where did u get those headlights

[@mycoolshows6702]

The LED bulbs are from fuzedled.com! The headlight housings are from eBay or Amazon. I will actually be ordering a new set of housings soon due to one of the last owners mounting resistors for some turn signals wrong and melting them. I'll do a video on it! 😁

[@stevenkinnison8044]

Badass u just made my day

[@davedill6207]

All you needed to do is is take off was 3 bolts on both sides (Z71) to drop your bumper.

[@mycoolshows6702]

Thanks!

[@brettmathews9619]

Why not take the & bolts off and take the whole bumper off the truck?

[@mycoolshows6702]

I guess you could do it that way as well. I was more comfortable taking the grill and headlights out rather than taking the whole bumper off personally. Seemed a little more doable considering I had no help also.

[@pecador9625]

perfect ... thanks bro.
