BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Poison Spyder Customs JK BFH Disco Skid
comes as unpainted, bare steel. You will want
to either powder coat or paint the skid prior to
install. If painting yourself, careful preparation
will make a big difference in the quality and
longevity of your paint job, even using “rattle can”
aerosol paints. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the
skid with solvent or de-greaser, then make sure
all residue is removed. Even if you use cheap
paint, try to use a good quality primer. “Etching”
primers are best to use on bare, unpainted
metal. Allow it to properly dry before painting,
and between paint coats.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park the Jeep on a flat, level surface and
set the parking brake.
2. Begin with the procedure to rotate the
swaybar disconnect motor up out of the
way. Remove the bolt that passes through
the rubber motor indexer. Make sure there
is enough slack in the electrical harness to
rotate the motor (you may need to cut one of
the retainer clips).
3. Rotate the motor upward (the motor
assembly will spin on the sway bar). There
are several bolts which hold the two halves
of the motor housing together. Determine
which one most closely aligns with the bolt
hole in the rubber indexer, with the motor
rotated as high as possible. Remove this
bolt from the motor housing.
4. Insert the supplied M10-1.5 X 110mm bolt
through the rubber indexer. Thread the
supplied M10 jam nut onto the bolt, followed
by the M10 lockwasher. Then thread the
