Looked at it yesterday.
Pulled off the Plastic molleys and took off the right angle Black plastic.
Looks like the grill is two screws up on top and one behind the grill and down low in the center. I look behind the grill and it looks like there are two large clips on the ends of the grill. Are they just friction fit or is there some magic to release them?
Thought I'd ask before I pull and break it.

They're friction clips.
 






On my truck the clips are tight. You think you're going to break the grille pulling it off. I haven't broken mine yet though.
 






They're the same clips used on the signal assembly. I broke my clips when taking the grille off.
 






Thanks ALL. it's nice to get the Heads up before doing something wrong.
 






Just stick a long screwdriver down there and push on the top of the back of the clips and they slide out no need to break them
 






Did the grill thing this weekend. Directly Forward of the Top Grill Screws is a Slot. Run a long screwdriver down that slot to the top of the plastic clip. Push down slightly as you pull the lower grill outward a out it comes. It is all so simple AFTER it's out and you see how it works.
Thanks all.
