BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The JK Brawler Lite Front Bumper and associated
components are shipped un-painted. Before
you paint or powder coat, perform the entire
installation of the product to ensure that it fits
without risking damage to your paint or powder
coat finish. Poison Spyder Customs is not
responsible for paint or powder coat costs in the
event you damage the finish during installation,
or that the parts are incorrect or defective.
You will want to paint or powder-coat these
components prior to FINAL installation. If
painting them yourself, we recommend starting
with a quality etching primer and allowing
sufficient cure/dry time between coats and
before you apply color. Quality spray-can paints
are fine, however be sure to thoroughly paint all
of the inside corners and hard-to-reach areas
of the bumper. A little extra time and attention
to detail on your preparation and paint process
will pay off in longer-lasting good looks and rust
prevention.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the
emergency brake. You will want to wear eye
protection beyond this point.
2. Remove the plastic lower air dam. Use a
push-in retainer removal tool to pop out the
plastic push-in retainers along the front edge
and also underneath/behind the air dam
where it attaches to the crash bar. If you do
not have a push-in retainer tool, a flat-edge
screwdriver or small pry-bar may be used.

fog lamps, reach behind the bumper and
