INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove the skid plates, one covering the T-Case and one covering the automatic transmission if
equipped.

2. Retain the bolts used for the stock skid plates. These will be used to mount the new crossmember skid
plate.

3. Install the new crossmember skid plate, use 3 stock bolts removed from the
original skid plates.

4. Tighten the 3 factory cross member mounting bolts to 35 ft-Ibs.

5. Now is a good time to drill and tap the rear hole in the frame on the driver side and the gas tank
skid plate tab for installation of the transfer case skid plate. This will allow for flush
mounting hard- ware to be used.

6. You can now install the rear transfer case skid plate, install the skid plate on top of the
cross- member skid plate. If you drilled and tapped the gas tank and frame hole to %-20, use the
supplied flat head allen bolts, if not us the original bolts, tighten to 35 ft-Ibs.
