The CAPABLE bumper is also steel.

There won't be a YouTube video. You unbolt one bumper... and bolt in the other one. You might need help, due to the weight!

I’m having my dealership take mine off and put on the DV8 FS-15 and was told they hadn’t done one yet but the body shop Forman capped the total at 8 hrs so if it takes them longer than that I won’t be charged more. You definitely will need 2 people

Pulled the bumper last night took about an hour, not bad. Will cut off hoops install sensors and new mod. Bumper this a.m. thinking hour and half to install, not bad.

Yup quite easy to replace the plastic bumper with a steel one. Just cut off your tow hooks, rerun wiring in the bumper and you are good to go.

What did you need to cut off when you went from the capable to the modular?

In the OP you said plastic - is yours a BD/BL that came with the steel capable bumper or the all plastic standard bumper?
