BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Poison Spyder Customs RockBrawler™ II
Rear Bumper comes as unpainted, bare steel.
You will want to either powder coat or paint the
bumper prior to final installation. 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 bumper 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. Remove existing rear bumper and
disconnect the rear sway bar where it bolts
to the outside of the frame rails. Keep the
OE hardware that attached the bumper to
the frame rails, as some of it will be re-used.
3. With the help of a friend, pre-install the
RockBrawler™ II rear bumper on to the
Jeep. The bolt flange of the RockBrawler™
II bumper will mount between the outside
of the frame rail and the sway bar bracket.
Note that there are three bolt holes in the
bolt flange on each side of the bumper. Two
of these bolt holes will align with the stock
bolt holes in the frame rail, where the sway
bar bracket attaches. Use the OE hardware
to secure the bumper in place using these
two bolt locations on either side. On the
driver side with the Floating Mount Plate,
tighten the hardware attaching the plate to
the bumper, after ensuring that the bumper
is properly centered and aligned.
4. Use a felt-tip pen or 3/8 center punch to
mark the location of the third bolt hole on the
frame rail, for each side.
