PROCEDURE:

1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

2. Starting at the passenger side-front of the vehicle, remove the tape covering the factory oval holes in
the inner body panel located by the front tire.

3. Select (1) 12mm Bolt Plate and partially thread a Plastic Retainer onto it, (Fig 1A). Insert the Bolt Plate

into the oval hole, (Fig 1B). Once the Bolt Plate is inserted, hold the Bolt end with one hand and tighten
the Plastic Retainer with your other hand until it is tight against the body panel. IMPORTANT: The
Plastic Retainer is designed to prevent the Bolt Plate from falling into the body cavity and to aid in
installing the Mounting Bracket.

4. Next, partially thread a Plastic Retainer onto the threaded end of a Bolt and Nut Plate, (Fig 1C).
Insert the Bolt and Nut Plate with Plastic Retainer into the factory oval hole, (Figure 1B).

5. Select the passenger side front Mounting Bracket. Position the Mounting Bracket onto the (2) Bolt
Plates. Secure the Bracket to the Bolt Plates with (2) 12mm Flat Washers, (2) 12mm Lock Washers
and (2) 12mm Hex Nuts, (Figure 2). Do not tighten at this time. Rotate the Bolt and Nut plate until the
threaded Nut end lines up with the remaining hole in the Mounting Bracket and body. Thread (1) 10mm
x 35mm Hex Bolt, (1) 10mm Flat Washer and (1) 10mm Lock Washer into the threaded nut plate. Snug
but do not tighten hardware at this time.

6. Remove the passenger side front factory body bolt. Select the passenger side Front Support Bracket.
Insert the factory body bolt through the Support Bracket and up into its original position, (Figure 2).
