PROCEDURE:
REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING MAY BE REQUIRED.
1. Determine if the vehicle is equipped with or without factory tow hooks.
Vehicles with factory tow hooks:
a. Start on the driver side and remove the forward hex bolt in the tow hook. Next, loosen the rear
bolt but do not remove, (this will help hold the nut plate in the correct location inside the frame
channel-see Figure 2). Slide the tow hook out from under the rear hex bolt. Keep the factory
double nut plate in the frame and aligned with the holes.
b. Position the Mounting Bracket up to the bottom of the frame and secure it with the factory tow
hook bolts into the factory double nut plate, (Figure 3). NOTE: On some model years, the Grille
Guard Brackets may not be compatible with the factory tow hooks. Reinstall the tow hook over
the Bracket with the factory hex bolts if there is clearance.
c. Repeat Steps a
– b for the passenger side Frame Bracket installation.
