BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Poison Spyder Customs BFH bumper comes
as unpainted, bare steel. You will want to either
powder coat or paint the bumper 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 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. Keep the
OE hardware that attached the bumper to
the frame rails, as some of it will be re-used.
3. Use the provided Cut Templates to transfer
the drill and cut marks to the frame rails.
Carefully cut the template out along the
heavy line and place it against the frame rail.
Ensure that the circles marked “EXISTING
HOLE” on the template are aligned with the
corresponding holes in the frame rail. Use
a fine-tip felt marker to mark the cut line on
the side of the frame rail, as shown on the
template. Use a center punch to mark the
location of the center of the 1/2” hole you will
need to drill, as shown on the template.
NOTE: If you have downloaded these instructions
and are printing them out yourself, verify that
the overall dimensions of the cut template
on your print-out match the length and width
measurements shown on the template (9.0” X
4.5”). If the size is off, adjust your print settings
and re-print until the actual measurements match
those numbers.
4. Use a torch, plasma cutter, pneumatic or
electric cutoff wheel, reciprocating saw, or
the cutting device of your choice to cut the
frame rails along the cut marks that were
made with the template. Note that you will
be cutting away a significant portion of the
frame rails and the crossmember.
