PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY. CUTTING IS REQUIRED.
2. Remove the factory splash guard located under the front bumper, (Figure 10A). Note the location and
type of all factory fasteners to make reinstallation easier. VERY IMPORTANT: Check the top of the
frame on driver and passenger side for wiring harness. Release plastic clip from top of frame to
temporarily move wiring harness before beginning installation.
3. Start installation under the driver side front of the vehicle. Locate the factory hole in the side of the frame
channel approximately mid-way up the side of the frame. From the outside of the frame channel, insert
(1) 8mm x 100mm Hex Bolt with (1) 8mm Flat Washer into and out through the factory holes in the frame
channel, (Figure 1). Select (1) Frame Mounting Bracket, (Figure 2). Line up the hole in the middle of the
Bracket between the (2) slots with the previously installed Hex Bolt and secure with (1) 8mm Flat
Washer, (1) 8mm Lock Washer and (1) 8mm Hex Nut, (Figure 3). Place the longer 10mm x 110mm U-
Bolt around the frame channel and through the slots in the Frame Bracket, (Figure 4). IMPORTANT:
Verify that the wiring harness on top of the frame, (Step 2), is clear before installing U-Bolt. Secure the
U-Bolt to the Frame Bracket with (2) 10mm Flat Washers, (2) 10mm Lock Washers and (2) 10mm Hex
Nuts, (Figure 5). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.
4. Repeat Step 3 for the passenger side Frame Bracket installation except use the shorter 10mm x 95mm
U-Bolt and 8mm x 80mm Hex Bolt hardware, (Figure 6A & 6B).
5. Bolt the Sport Bar to the Brackets with the included (4) 10mm x 25mm Hex Bolts, (8) 10mm Flat
Washers and (4) 10mm Nylon Lock Nuts, (Figures 7). Align and adjust the Sport Bar. NOTE: It may be
necessary to loosen and adjust the location of the Frame Brackets on the frame channel. Retighten the
hardware bolting the Mounting Brackets to the frame only once fully satisfied with the adjustment.
6. Once the Sport Bar has been properly aligned and adjusted, tighten the Frame Bracket hardware only
including the U-Bolts. Remove the Sport Bar, (leave Frame Brackets in place-, (Figure 8)). Hold the
