PROCEDURE:

1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX, READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND VERIFY ALL PARTS

ARE PRESENT. . NOTE: Right side of vehicle will be your right hand when sitting inside your
vehicle, and not standing in front of your vehicle.

2. Locate and set aside the two brackets, and hardware. (Fig 1) NOTE: The front two holes on the pinch weld

will be the mounting location for the front bracket. In order to determine the rear mounting location for the
rear bracket, measure the distance between the inserts on the Side Bar, then measure the same distance
from the center front slotted hole towards the rear of the vehicle and that will be the rear bracket mounting
location.

3. Locate the two 12mm X 40mm Button head Bolt plates and the two 1 ½” square plastic bolt plate retaining

pieces (Fig 2). Start the plastic retainers onto the threads and turn down about ¼”.

4. Insert one bolt plate into the slotted hole on each side of the rear frame cross member. (Fig 3) Holding the

exposed thread at the end of the bolt, spin the plastic retainer all the way down to the frame, this will keep
the bolt plate from falling into the frame channel (Fig 4).

5. Locate the left side mounting bracket and place it over the threads of the bolt plate and secure in place

with a 12mm Fender washer, lock washer and nut. Tighten down finger tight. Repeat this step on opposite
side again leaving nut finger tight. (Fig 5)

6. Seating on the ground with the bumper in your lap and rest of hardware close at hand, turn bumper guard

brackets pointing up and raise into place, then put a bolt with washer into inner most holes on each side.
Put a washer, lock washer and nut onto each of the two bolts and finger tighten down. Bumper should be
hanging as in (Fig 6). Now rotate the bumper guard up and put in the two outer bolts, washers, lock
washers and nuts.

7. Snug up these four bumper guard to bracket bolts, but do not tighten them up. Now tighten down the two

12mm nuts that are holding the mounting brackets to the frame.

8. Adjust the fitment of the bumper guard on the vehicle and tighten the four bolts fastening the bumper

guard to the mounting brackets (Fig 7 & 8).

9. Double check all nuts and bolts for tightness and you are done.

10. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
