have your own LED light, LED Manufactures will have similar but different mounting styles or
brackets, once you determine you mounting options attach it to the support flange as seen in
(Fig1)
3. With the LED light attached to the support flange select the (2) 8mm nut clips place each nut clip into
the slotted holes on either side of the support flange, as seen in (Fig 2) with the support flange prepare
you will need to lay the grill guard face down to install the support flange NOTE: (it is recommended to
lay out some of the cardboard your grill guard came in or a blanket to protect the grill guard finish).
place the grill guard face down with this done place the support flange with the LED attached into the
Center flange attach each side of the support flange to the inner brackets inside the center flange of the
grill guard with (2) 8mm hex bolts, (2) 8mm flat washers, & (2) 8mm lock washers as seen in (Fig 3)
Snug but do not tighten at this time.
4. WARNING! This Grille Guard is designed to tilt forward by releasing the Quick Release Bolts on
the Top Brackets and loosening the upper bolt on the Mounting Bracket when the hood needs
to be opened for service. Make sure that all hardware is fully tightened after closing the hood.
Read Page 6, "Opening and Closing of Hood," before installing the Grille Guard.
5. Starting from under the front of the vehicle, determine if the vehicle is equipped with small or large tow
hooks. Remove the (2) factory tow hooks and set aside, (Figs 4A & 4 B).
6. Select the driver/left Frame Mounting Bracket.
Vehicles with small tow hook: Install the small tow hook over the Mounting Bracket using the
factory tow hook hex bolts, (Fig 4A).
Vehicles with large tow hooks: Bolt the driver/left side Frame Mounting Bracket to the bottom of
the frame with the two factory bolts. NOTE: Large tow hook cannot be reinstalled, (Fig 4B).
7. Repeat the appropriate Step 6 for the passenger side Frame Mounting Bracket installation.

vehicle as you tighten the (2) Hex Bolts, (Fig 10).
11. Repeat Steps 8 - 10 for passenger/right side Top Bracket installation.
12. With assistance, place the Grille Guard face down on a clean surface in front of the vehicle. Position
the mounting tabs on the Grille Guard up to the outside of the driver side Frame Mounting Bracket. Line
up the lower hole in the Bracket with the lower hole in the Grille Guard. Insert (1) 12mm Plastic Washer
