radiator to remove the inner factory hex nuts, (Figure 2). Place the hardware and tow hook aside. Insert
the driver side Frame Mounting Bracket through the opening in the bumper and up to the mounting surface,
(Figure 3 & 4). Use the supplied longer (4) 10mm x 45mm hex bolts, (8) 10mm Flat Washers, (4) 10mm

check for clearance and fit of the Grille Guard and brackets. Adjust as necessary then snug but do not
tighten all of the hardware.
4. Stand back from the vehicle and check to see that the Grille Guard is centered and level on the vehicle and
adjust as necessary. Once properly aligned, tighten all of the hardware.
5. Do periodic inspections of the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.

damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild
soap may be used also to clean the Grille Guard.
