Default Was in an accident today

Came over the hill on the highway and everybody was stopped. Was able to slow down enough to minimize damage to my blazer. Looks like radiator support, headlights, grill, front markers, and hood at this point. I'm fine with replacing all of that except the radiator support. It's a 2001 2dr 2wd. What all does the replacement of the support entail? Is is welded on or just bolted?

Thanks for the help.
-Mike

Mike, I did it, and anyone can do it... Seeing you are a 2001, its as simple as buying it and removing the 6 bolts? Unsure on the number, but yes it is just bolted into place... I bought mine off of ebay for something like 100 bucks brand new.....
