INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Paint or powder coat both sides of the Trail
Corners.
2. Park the Jeep on a flat, level surface and
engage the emergency brake.
3. Remove taillights, gas filler bezel and any
non-original equipment obstructions, saving
all mounting hardware for re-use. Be careful
when disconnecting the taillight pigtail (do not
cut it at this time, disconnect it by carefully
disengaging the safety clip on the plug).
Remove the plastic inner wheel well by using
a pair of dikes to remove the “Christmas tree”
plastic fasteners that keep it in place.
4. Place the Trail Corner against the corner of
the Jeep and clamp it into place (use rags or
some other soft material between the clamp
and the Trail Corner to protect your paint or
powder coat finish). Visually check for proper
alignment of the Trail Corner and make any
adjustments.
Note: At this point there may be a gap between
the edge of the Trail Corner and the rear fender
