Remove the driver side tow hook by removing the front bolt and loosening the rear bolt,

Slide the Bracket under the rear bolt. Bolt the Bracket in place with the factory tow hook
bolts and factory double nut plate. Repeat for passenger side Bracket installation.
Vehicles without Tow Hooks
Remove the plastic lower bumper cover, (Figure 4). Insert (2) 12mm Bolt Plates
through the opening in the open front end of the frame on the driver side and down
through the holes in the bottom of the frame, (Figure 2). Bolt the Bracket to the Bolt
Plates with (2) 12mm x 24mm STD Flat Washers, (2) 12mm Lock Washers and (2)
12mm Hex Nuts. Snug but do not tighten the hardware at this time. Repeat for

Use the included (4) 12mm x 35mm Hex Bolts, (8) 12mm x 32mm Large Flat Washers, (4)
12mm Lock Washers and (4) 12mm Hex Nuts to attach the Bull Bar to the Mounting Brackets.

IMPORTANT-Vehicles without Tow Hooks only
Temporarily remove the Bull Bar. Hold the plastic cover up in position and trace the outline of
the Brackets onto the inside of the cover, (Figures 4 & 5). Use a sharp knife or hacksaw blade
to carefully cut the openings for the Brackets. Make small cuts and check the fit often for best
