PROCEDURE:
REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED TO
AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. CUTTING IS REQUIRED.
1. Before beginning installation, measure the gap between the headlight assembly and the
bumper cover on both sides of the vehicle, (Figure 1). Also note the gap between the grille
shell and the bumper cover. Record these measurements as the installation requires removal
of the bumper bolts and you will need these measurements to properly readjust the bumper
height to its original position.
2. Starting at the front-driver side, remove the (2) factory bumper bolts, (Figure 1). WARNING!
Do not remove passenger and driver bumper bolts at the same time or the bumper may fall.
Only remove and install one Frame Mounting Bracket at a time. NOTE: Bumper bolts are held
in place by thin metal retaining clips. Discard the clips and remove the bolts.
3. Place the driver side Frame Mounting Bracket onto the vehicle and line it up with the (2)
mounting bolt holes, (Figure 2). Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8” clearance between the
top and bottom of the Mounting Bracket and the opening in the bumper. Secure the Mounting
Bracket to the vehicle using the factory bolts and double nut plate, (Figure 1). Check bumper
alignment and tighten these (2) bolts at this time. NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen and
readjust the bumper once the Grille Guard has been installed.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for passenger side Frame Mounting Bracket installation.
5. Remove the license plate and bracket. Remove the plastic air dam from the bottom of the
bumper and place it on a clean, stable work surface. Note the location and type of all factory
hardware for reinstallation. NOTE: To release the 2-piece plastic clips, pry the center pin up
with a small flat blade screwdriver.
