Chrysler Repair: 2007 Ram front bumper, grease pencil, nuts and bolts


Question
Hi!
I have an 07 3500 Ram Diesel.  I'm going to replace the front bumper with a winch bumper.  In looking under the wheel wells and hood, there are numerous shrouds and other plastic "things".  Could you give me some basic guideance to remove the entire front bumper?  I'd sure appreciate it!
Thanks!   Chance
