5102 JK Hood Louver Panel

GENERAL NOTES:

• These instructions are also available on our website; www.synergymfg.com.

Check the website before you begin for any updated instructions and additional
photos for your reference.

• The installation of 5102 JK Hood Louver Panel requires the use of basic hand

tools, a drill w/ ¼” drill bit, 1” and 1-3/4” hole saws and some form of metal
cutting tool. A 4-1/2” angle grinder with cut off wheel, 3” air cut off tool, or
metal cutting jig saw all work well for cutting through the hood.

• Read through all instructions thoroughly prior to beginning installation

PARTS LIST:

• 1 PPM-5102 JK Hood Louver Panel

• 24 ¼-20 UNC Button Head Socket Cap Screws

• 24 ¼-20 UNC Nylock Flange Nuts

INSTALLATION:

1) We recommend removing the hood from the vehicle for the length of the
installation process, to prevent damaging any under hood components during
installation.

2) Begin by disconnecting everything that is attached to the underside of the hood.

 Remove the ground strap (10mm wrench)
 Disconnect the hose going to the windshield sprayer
 Unplug the hood light, and remove it from the hood. Note – The

plastic push pin securing the light to the hood is a 2 stage fastener.
Pull the top part of the pin up first to allow the barb fitting to be
removed from the hood.

 Pull off the insulation from the underside of the hood as well. It is

secured to the underside of the hood via 3 plastic barb fittings and
4 formed metal tabs on the hood.

 Lastly, remove the two 9mm nuts securing the U-shape tie-down

point to the hood

3) Once all under hood components have been disconnected remove the hood from
the vehicle. It is attached at the hinges with 4 T-50 Torx bolts.

4) Place the hood on a sturdy work surface that will allow you to easily access all 4
sides. A saw horse set, small cart or small table should work well. Be careful to
cover any possible marring surfaces with a towel or rags to prevent damage to the
hood’s finish.

5) Installation of the 5102 JK Hood Louver Panel can now begin.

 Start by placing the panel on the hood, centering it over the holes

for the U-shaped tie down point. Also, center the windshield
nozzle in the cut out. This should get you in the ballpark.

 Next square up the hood to both the front and rear edges using a

square or measuring tape. (See Picture 5.1 and 5.2 below)

6) As a final check, take a hood corner to louver panel corner measurement.
Measure on both L and R sides of the hood to be sure the panel is square and true.
