Can the stock grill be easily removed with an AEV bumper in place ?
I am considering letting my dealer install AEV bumpers on a new Sahara prior to delivery. I will be installing truck lights and wonder if I have to remove the grill and possibly remove the bumper.
I know grill removal is easy in most cases but wonder if the close fit of the AEV will get in the way. I'm going with the no-hoop version and the Warn 9.5 if it matters.
Thank you in advance

I had to take off the solenoid pack on my winch when removing the grill. The hoop was very close to causing drama, but didn't. Sounds like you won't have to worry about that at least.

I have a winch and hardrock winch plate on my stock bumper and I can not easily remove my grill, but the good news is you really don't need to remove it to install trucklites. I just popped the pushpins on top of the grill and tilted the grill forward and had plenty of room to install my trucklites.
