Step One: Remove the factory tow hooks and hardware from both sides and retain for later use.

(NOTE: In order to use factory tow hooks with Front Guard, you must reverse them before installing the Lower Support
Brackets.) ( Hardware is included for vehicles not equipped with factory tow hooks)

Step Two: Once the tow hooks are swapped, the slotted hole on Bottom Support Brackets where vertical bolt attaches,
needs to be slightly enlarged towards the center of the truck. (NOTE: If the factory tow hooks are not going to be
reused, the Lower Support Brackets do not have to be modified.)
Step Three: Using the factory hardware removed in Step Two, loosely attach Bottom Support Brackets to Vehicle
(Figure 2).
Step Four: Locate M10 x 35 Hex Head Bolts, M10 hex nuts, M10 Lock Washers, and M10 Flat Washers. Position the
Guard to the inside of the Bottom Support Brackets. Loosely attach Guard to Bottom Support Brackets using the
hardware listed in this step (Figure 1-2).
Step Five: After checking for proper clearance and alignment of the Front Guard on the vehicle fully tighten all
hardware.
