After putting on a winch, it was impossible to get the grill off without breaking 2 of the clips, anyone come up with any fixes? The winch prevents the lower portion of the grill from moving away from the mounting holes for the clips, so I had to hack saw the middle 2 clips off.

 

How come you just didn't take the winch off? Is it welded on or really hard to get at?

 

PITA to get to the bolts/line up the nuts which are internal to the winch. Plus all the super anal wire looms, elec taping and zip ties I used...

 

I understand... about at least 2 of the bolts were super hard to attach, almost on luck alone with the nuts on mine were deep in the bumper like you said "internal".
I don't know how to fix the grill clips sorry.
