    Has anyone disassembled the rear bumper to replace the chrome pieces with the black pieces? If so can you share how you did it? Thanks in advance!

    It's pretty easy, here's my related post:

    Runnin4Tacos also has a video of reassembly if it helps.

    This is perfect, thank you for sharing! Doing this and the tailgate handle first. Then on to the door handles.

    You gotta release the top panel first by squeezing the indicated clips from underneath the bumper while also prying the top panel with other hand using a trim tool. (Easier than it sounds).

    (Not shown) Once the top panel is loose, use your trim tool to remove the three plastic trim pins from top part. Remove the pin & bolt from the bottom brackets. Pop the bottom trim piece loose:

    The bumper arms will then pull out

    It took me about 20min to do both sides
