- This video shows the steps on how to remove and replace the front bumper on your 07-13 Chevy Silverado 1500 Series Truck!
Hope this video has helped someone with their install of their new bumper!
Electric Ratchet used for install: S-Long Electric Ratchet off of Amazon.
Bumper was purchased new from eBay for around $80.
Any questions feel free to comment or email me!
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.
So you don't need to remove grille and lights to replace the middle section
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 🤣🤣🤣😂
LOL! Yeah I can't watch it again because of that.
@@mycoolshows6702 good video I just got a kick out that part 😆
Just gotta take those moments in stride 😂
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.
LOL! Glad to help!
back end of a big rig for me
You can take 4 bolts loose and take the bumper off and set it on a table and it's much easier
Can you make a video for this?
I wish somebody would show this
@Fishbone Offroad has a video of the 4 bolt removal.
Finally someone had the video! I been looking on CZcams for months! Great job man!
Thank you!
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!
Glad to have helped! I was shocked by all that had to come off as well lol.
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!
Glad to help!!
Best tutorial I have found yet! Thank you!
Glad the video helped you! Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for taking the time to film this project! Very helpful. Just waiting on my bumper to come now
I couldn't find a video on it so I decided it was a good time to make one!
Great video. This helped me swap out my front bumper face with ease. Thanks for sharing!
Great job bro, You’re really good at explaining and accurate 👍
Thank you!
Well I've got my parts and this should help me (Big Time) with taking apart and putting back together. Thank you for posting !
Thanks for the comment!
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!
Glad to help thanks for the comment!
Good stuff, Following your steps now. Much easier than what i did last time..
Glad to help! Thank you for watching
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!
It's worth it!
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
Awesome video, saved me so much time at work haha. Thank you much🤝
Great video 👌🏻
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
where did you get the black emblem?
Great Video, well done!
Thank you!
How long did this take you?
About 2 hours I would say. It would have been faster if I wasn't trying to video it all though. lol
Clean! Nice truck and nice job.
Thank you!
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?
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.
Damn...a lot stuff to remove before the bumper can come off, how much time does it takes for front bumper job
All you needed to do is is take off was 3 bolts on both sides (Z71) to drop your bumper.
Thanks it helps
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
I believe all of them smaller bolts were 10mm
Great video! Could you recommend what company to buy it from?
I purchased one of the cheapest ones I could find on eBay.
how’d you remove the black bottom piece that’s connected to the bumper on the very bottom
I started that process around 6:29
Appreciate the video, made it an easy job
Glad to help!
Very helpful, thanks
Hey bro, can I get a link from you which eBay seller you bought yours from?
Here is a link: www.ebay.com/itm/274266504215?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xxf-AXF5Tk-&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=vKhB3xSiTWO&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Where did u order the new bumper??
Thank you
no problem. glad to help!
Badass u just made my day
What your lift height? I like how it stance out
7.5" rough country lift!
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!...
How do you take out the bolts that are inside if u dont have the cut out?
Awesome video. Thanks for the breakdown and explaining everything
Love it
Thanks!
That a speed6 I spy....Nice
Front bumper Chevy 2500 is same the 3500 ? I want buy for my 1500 Silverado
I am not sure about that. I do know that the 1500 bumper is completely different than the 2500 and 3500 bumper though.
What’s the wheel tire and lift setup
It has the Rough Country 6" suspension lift with 22x12 -44 offset American Truxx wheels with 35x12.50 All Terrain tires.
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?
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
@@mycoolshows6702 thanks for replying. Going to attempt the whole front end soon.
@@drumsnbass hope all goes well and turns out good!
What's the part no: or name of the chrome part of the bumper you replaced
Do you still have the old dented piece ?
No I don't. I took it to the dump.
I'm ordering a black one. I have the factory chrome one and it rusted from inside out.
perfect ... thanks bro.
glad to help buddy!
How has this bumper held up from rust? About to replace mine
still holding up great!
The bumper, end caps and the air deflector can be removed as a unit as per this video: czcams.com/video/LMzaYs1xqa8/video.html
What size tires you got on there? They fit perfect.
They are 35x12.50 on 22X12 Wheels!
How the figment of the aftermarket bumper, compared to OEM?
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.
Dude, did you have to take out the grill and headlights?
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.
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.
Where did you order your new bumper from.
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!
What’s code number for your turn signal bulbs and where you get them
They're 3157 standard socket switchback bulbs! The ones I use are at www.fuzedled.com
Where did u get those headlights
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! 😁
Good video, but fuck that mine can stay dented 😂 that’s a lot of work
Yes it was more work than I anticipated that is for sure!!
How long did this take you?
It took me around 2 hours total. I started it early in the day and had to run some errands and come back to it in the evening.
I want to replace the chrome number piece on mine with a black one. I have a black Silverado and want to black it out.
That will look good!
Great video 👍
Thanks but no thanks.
Think I'm going to bondo and spray paint mine
It is a process for sure.
Where'd you get your headlight housings from ?
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!
Can I pay you to do this 😂 I realllllly don’t feel like doing this
lol I don't really want to do it again either!
i already know andy type of go-fund me or any crowd funding in a joke and i would NEVER be able to fix my rust free silverado back on the road
dont know how some people can do it but my luck sucks bick
i need a hood left fender and a core support do i get help nope
Why not take the & bolts off and take the whole bumper off the truck?
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.
I know it's too late but you don't have to I have to take the headlights out.
Makes the process easier if you do! At least for me it does (I had already removed the headlights multiple times)
And if you have fog lights it’s 8 screws !
now i think i just want to leave it all off and cut my end caps down look more prerunner
There are a lot of steps but nothing too extreme. Just a lot of bolts lol
Shouldn't have to take the grill of to remove the bumper.
Makes the job much easier!
@@mycoolshows6702 I have an '07 Silverado Classic. Did it all from underneath. 4 Bolts. No need to open the hood or touch the grill. Plastic bumper cover slid right underneath and snapped in place.
@@bossfan49 I'm not sure what you mean by "snapped right into place" lol
@@mycoolshows6702 Mine has a plastic "bumper cover" that fits over the top. It slid right under the grill, and you just tap it with a mallet or your fist, and the pegs snap in.
1:47 and im clicking off lol. taking it to the body shop…
damn wtf, thats allot
Yes it is lol.
Turn the music down.
Actually you have that control on your end.
I just wanted to know how to take off the bumper, not take apart the whole truck🤣👎🏼👎🏼
Sorry! hahah
