MOUNTING THE COOLER ASSEMBLY
1.
Identify the Inner Frame J Bracket and the
Outer Frame C Bracket.
2. Identify the following hardware, (1) 5/16-18 x 5” Bolt, (1) 5/16-
18 x 1 1/4” Bolt, (1) 5/16-18 x 1” Bolt, (6) 5/16 SAE Flat
Washers, (3) 5/16-18 Lock Nuts
3. Take the Inner Frame J Bracket. The longer leg sets on the top
of the vehicles frame allowing the shorter leg to butt up against
the side of the frame just below the vehicles fuel/brake lines.
See Diagram #6
4. Take the Outer Frame C Bracket. This bracket slides from the
outside of the vehicles frame over the top of the Inner Frame
Bracket and around the vehicles frame. See Diagram #6
5. Using a 5/16” SAE Flat Washer, take the 5” bolt and install it
into the bottom hole closest to the vehicles frame sliding it all
the way up through the inside upper hole. Install a 5/16” SAE
Flat washer and 5/16-18 Lock nut on the top of the bracket
assembly and hand tighten. See Diagram #6
6. Using the 5/16-18 x 1” Bolt, SAE Washers, and 5/16-18 Lock
Nut, install this bolt in the upper outside hole and hand tighten.
7. Using the 5/16-18 x 1 1/4” Bolt, SAE Washers and 5/16-18
Lock Nut install this bolt in the bottom outside remaining hole
and hand tighten. See Diagram #6
The frame brackets can be moved forward or back
along the frame to assure clearance of the Cooler Assembly.
8. Identify the following hardware, (3) 1/4-20 x 3/4” Bolts, (3) 1/4”
SAE Flat Washers, (3) 1/4” Star Washers, (3) 1/4-20 Lock Nuts

Bracket Assembly and Install 1/4-20 Bolts, Flat Washers, Star
Washers and Lock Nuts as shown in Diagram #7
Cooler Assembly has a built in pivot mounting
system. This will allow you to pivot the cooler to not only clear
all vehicles obstructions but to allow you to improve airflow on
vehicles with extra body clearance. Always adjust Cooler
Assembly with the maximum angle without touching any of the
vehicles components.
10. Once Cooler Assembly is in the desired location, be sure to go
back and tighten all mounting hardware.
Outer Frame C Bracket is designed to bend up against
the Inner Frame J Bracket causing a clamping effect.
