D. Premium Bumper Installation
1. Install the mesh into the bumper over the studs and tighten M6 flange nuts.
2. Install the crush can covers with M6 hex head bolts with washers.
3. If you are not installing the winch plate temporarily attach the fairlead bracket to the bumper. Attach
through the center set of holes used for mounting a roller/hawse fairlead with two of the supplied
M12 hex head bolts and flange nuts.
4. Install the light mount brackets with M10 button head bolts, washers, and nuts.
5. Using the assistance of a helper carefully set the bumper on the vehicle. BE CAREFUL NOT TO
SCRATCH THE GRILLE, PLASTIC FENDER FLARES, OR WINCH.
6. Insert the (8) M12 button head fasteners with washers through the bumper, fairlead bracket, and
frame rails.
7. NOTE: THE SHORT M12 BUTTON HEAD BOLT SHOULD BE USED IN THE RIGHT SIDE UPPER MOST
INNER LOCATION. USING A LONG BOLT HERE WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE WINCH MOTOR.
8. While holding the bumper in place use the flange nuts in all locations except on the short button
head bolt, which uses a thin Jam nut. Tighten the (8) button head fasteners enough to allow align-
ment.
