PARTS LIST:
PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING IS
REQUIRED. TOW HOOKS MUST BE REMOVED. It may be necessary to remove/relocate
front license plate and license plate bracket. It is not required, but strongly recommended. If
local/state law requires a license plate, license plate relocation kit is available.
2. Start installation from under the front of the vehicle. Remove the factory tow hook, (if
equipped), located on the passenger side. NOTE: The tow hooks will not be reinstalled. It may
be necessary to remove the lower plastic splash guard or air dam. Set air dam on a clean,
stable working area.
3. Select the passenger side Mounting Bracket. Bolt the Bracket to the tow hook location on the
bottom of the frame channel with the included (2) 12-1.25 x 35mm Fine Thread Hex Bolts, (2)
12mm Lock Washers and (2) 12mm Flat Washers. Do not tighten hardware at this time.
4. Repeat Steps 2
– 3 for the driver side Bracket installation.
5. With assistance, position the Bull Bar onto the outside of the Mounting Brackets. Bolt the Bull
Bar to the Mounting Brackets using the included (4) 12-1.75mm x 35mm Coarse Thread Hex
Bolts, (4) 12mm Lock Washers, (8) 12mm Flat Washers and (4) 12mm Hex Nuts.
6. Align the Bull Bar properly and tighten all hardware bolting the (2) Brackets to the frame only.
Do not tighten the Bull Bar hardware at this time.
7. Remove the Bull Bar. Place the air dam in position over the Brackets. Carefully cut slots in the
plastic splash guard or air dam to allow the Brackets to pass through. Remove as little plastic
as possible for a clean installation. Once properly trimmed, re-install the air dam using the
factory hardware. Re-install the Bull Bar as described in Steps 5
– 6. Tighten all hardware.
8. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
