PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. DRILLING IS
REQUIRED. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.
2. NOTE: It may be necessary to remove/relocate front license plate and license plate bracket. It
is not required for installation, but strongly recommended. If local/state law requires a license
plate, license plate relocation kit is available.
3. On each side of the opening in the bumper, move the rubber wind deflectors attached to the
back of the bumper, (Figure 1). Check the back of the bumper for clearance before drilling.
4. Select the driver side Mounting Bracket. Bolt the Bracket onto the back of the tab on the Bull
Bar with the included (2) 10mm x 30mm Hex Bolts, (4) 10mm Flat Washers and (2) 10mm
Nylon Lock Nuts, (Figure 2). NOTE: Adjust the Bracket so that the hardware is in the center of
the slots on the tab on the Bull Bar and the Mounting Bracket. Temporarily tighten the
hardware. Repeat this step to install the passenger side Mounting Bracket.
5. Cover each side of the steel bumper with masking tape before marking the location for drilling
and to protect finish during initial Bull Bar fitup, (Figure 3). With assistance, hold Bull Bar up in
desired, (approximate) location with Mounting Brackets flat against steel bumper and with
clearance around the bottom legs of the Bull Bar for adjustment, (Figure 4). Adjust brackets as
necessary for proper fit to bumper. Once the Bull Bar is close to vertical, centered and level,
trace the passenger side top mounting location onto the masking tape, (Figure 5). Measure up
from bottom edge of the steel bumper to the center of the top hole, (slot), drawn on the tape,
