PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.
2. From under the front of the vehicle, remove the 6 bolts and/or clips securing the center plastic splash
guard to the vehicle. Move the splash guard to a clean, stable work surface. Remove the factory tow
hook located on the passenger side. NOTE: You will not be re-installing tow hook.
3. Locate the driver side Mounting Bracket and partially hang it from factory threaded holes on the frame
rail using the included (2) 12-1.25 x 40mm Hex Head Bolts (fine thread), (2) 12mm Lock Washers, and
(2) 12mm Flat Washers, (Figure 1). Repeat this step for passenger side.
4. Use a hack saw to cut out the driver side tow hook cavity on the splash guard, (Figure 2). Once you
have cut out the tow hook cavity, place the splash guard up to the vehicle to check for clearance
around the Mounting Brackets. If necessary, cut an additional
½” x 2” slot in the front side of each tow
hook cavity to clear the Mounting Bracket, (Figure 3). Once you have cut out the plastic splash guard,
reinstall it using the factory hardware.
