Front bumper is three bolts on each frame rail. Also remove connectors for fog lights.
Rear bumper has one bolt on the end of each frame rail. Careful with these, the bolts like to rust and shear off inside the captive nuts. Total garbage design IMO. Also remove light connectors.

SO I have to remove the bumpers to get the plastic end caps off?

Front bumper is a piece of cake. Rear bumper sucks.
