(Figure 6). Draw a horizontal line through the center of the slot drawn on the tape. Move to the
driver side of the bumper and draw another level line onto the masking tape at the same
distance from the bottom edge of the bumper as the passenger side. Verify that both lines are
the same distance up from the bottom edge of the bumper. Hold the Bull Bar and Brackets up
to the bumper with the mounting slots centered on the horizontal line to verify position.
6. Next, measure across the Bull Bar, center of top slot to center of top slot in Brackets, (Figure
7). Transfer the width measurement onto the masking tape with a vertical line on both sides an
equal distance from the edge of the opening in the bumper, (Figure 8). Hold the Bull Bar and
Brackets back up to the vehicle and verify that these marks are in the center of the slots in the
Mounting Brackets and that the Bull Bar is properly positioned on the vehicle. Check all
measurements again to verify that the marks are an equal distance away from the edge of the
opening. Once absolutely certain that position is correct, drill (2) 1/2" holes in the steel bumper
for the top mounting hardware. IMPORTANT! Any cutting or drilling tool may break or shatter.
Government regulations require safety glasses & equipment at all times when cutting or
drilling. NOTE: Start with a smaller drill bit as a pilot hole and gradually increase the size of the
drill bit to the larger hole size.
7. Temporarily bolt the Bull Bar to the vehicle with (2) 12mm x 35mm Hex Bolts, (4) 12mm Flat
Washers, (2) 12mm Lock Washers and (2) 12mm Hex Nuts inserted in the (2) top mounting
holes. Align and adjust the Bull Bar as necessary and once satisfied with the location, mark the
lower mounting holes onto the masking tape. Remove the Bull Bar and drill the (2) remaining
mounting holes.
8. Reinstall the Bull Bar as described in Step 7 with the included (4) 12mm x 35mm Hex Bolts,
(8)12mm Flat Washers, (4) 12mm Lock Washers and (4) 12mm Hex Nuts, (Figure 9).
9. Level and adjust Bull Bar as desired and tighten all hardware at this time. Replace the wind
deflectors on each side of the opening in the bumper, (Figure 1).
10. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
