I need to remove my grill.
From your perspective is it easier to take the grill off alone or the entire bumper?
Removing the entire front end is a PITA. The main reasons are the hidden bolts in the wheel wells and the two hidden clips in the corners of the fascia at the top. I just hate messing with all the plastic that is so prone to breaking. What are you installing?

"Raptor" grill lights in the lower half. I'm also considering painting it to match the vehicle.

Is there an answer to the question "Can you remove the grille without removing the bumper?"

Had ford not elected to shaft the "Base" customers and left out SiriusXM, I probably could have made due. Shame on you Ford. After buying 8 or more Fords, this will be my last. Ford and my local dealership has received the last penny from me.
I don't get this attitude. Why would you blame Ford for this? Ford sells a base model with fewer options to keep costs down. This makes Bronco Sports available to more buyers. If you wanted a BS with SiriusXM then why didn't you buy one equipped that way?

Lol right? Ford didn't shaft him, he shafted himself! ?

I don't have SiriusXM (and would never subscribe again after a bad cancellation experience) but wouldn't it be just as easy or easier to install the SiriusXM app on your phone and using it thru CarPlay or Android Auto? I much prefer the integration so my nav, entertainment and phone functions are fighting over my display.

Is this how people do it to use CarPlay & Auto? I don’t use CarPlay at all partially because I can’t figure out how you’d stream Sirius while using it. Sure, yes I could use the app on my phone, but doesn’t it run your phone out of data that way? The odd short city trip doesn’t use a lot (that’s how I used it in my 94 with an FM transmitter) but I’d think it’d kill your data plan in a hurry. I don’t have enough data as it is to use CarPlay!

I upgraded my phone plan to unlimited data and quit worrying about my streaming habits.

I don't think you would do that in Canada. IIRC, the data plans there are really expensive and that is where @MJE lives.

That's no good then. I used to get data warnings from streaming podcasts or Pandora before I switched.

Ridiculously so. But they’re coming out with newer plans all the time, & it’s time for me to shop around again to get a better deal out of them. The ‘basic’ plan I have was about as good as it got a few years back, but now for what I pay, I should be able to do as Dustin said & get up to an unlimited. We’ll see.
