PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING IS REQUIRED.
ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.
2. Starting at the underside of the front bumper, carefully remove the plastic splash guard. NOTE:
Depending on the model of truck, the splash guard may be attached to the bottom of the truck with
hex bolts. There are also several two-piece plastic push-in clips across the back, behind the
bumper cover holding the splash guard up to the cover, (Figure 1A). First, locate the clips behind
the bumper cover. Pry the center pin of the clip up with a small flat blade screwdriver and remove
the entire clip, (Figure 1B). The splash guard may also be attached with rivets or hex bolts at the
corners of the bumper cover. If the guard is fastened with rivets, once all of the other hardware
has been removed, hold the bumper cover in place and firmly pull the splash guard from the rivet.
Remove the rivet from the bumper cover and move the splash guard to a clean stable work area.
Pay close attention to the type and location of all factory hardware for reinstallation.
3. From underneath the front of the vehicle, determine if the truck is equipped with or without tow
hooks.
