Removing valance?

Removing valance?
How do I remove the valance? Do I need to remove the whole bumper to do it?

With a little bit a time and patience it will come of without removing the bumper but it's probably just as easy to remove to to take it off. It's just a bunch of small bolts under there holding it on is all.

Oh, ok. Thanks
Gonna have to take it off anyway because I'm gonna build a custom licence plate mount as my other one broke.

When I removed mine, I just ripped it off. I didnt plan on putting it back on. My plate bracket did come off with it so I just wired it up with just plain ole wire.

As long as you guys know that valence is designed for more than just looks..
removing it can result in..
- damage to exposed parts when off-roading
- overheating at highway speeds.. esp when towing {depending on lift}

I left mine on because everything underneath was aging and a little rusty. If I would of taken the valence off, it wouldn't have been as pretty! =P
But I was wondering about the cooling issue with the valence as well as with a body lift on. Because when you do a body lift, you are really supposed to lower the radiator for cooling purposes. But I lowered the radiator with my body lift and left the valence on and the truck seems to be properly cooled, so I can't complain.
