PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. CUTTING MAY BE
REQUIRED. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.
2. Starting on the passenger side, remove the (4) factory hex bolts securing the tow hook to the
frame, (Figure 1 & 2). Place the hardware and tow hook aside. Insert the driver side Frame
Mounting Bracket through the opening in the bumper and up to the mounting surface, (Figure 3).
Secure the Frame Mounting Bracket to the tow hook location using the factory hardware.
IMPORTANT: The Frame Mounting Brackets are supplied with slots for easy adjustment. Use the
supplied (8) 10mm x 30mm OD x 2.5mm Flat Washers between the Hex Bolt and the Frame
Mounting Bracket.
NOTE: If you choose to re-install the tow hooks, use the supplied longer (8) 10mm x 45mm
hex bolts, (8) 10mm x 30mm Flat Washers, factory flat washers and (8) 10mm Nylon Lock
Nuts, (Figure 8). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this time.
3. Cover the top of the bumper cover with a layer of masking tape to prevent damage to the cover
during bracket installation. Loosen the factory (2) hex bolts located on the bottom of the
crossmember, (Figure 4A & 4B). Select the passenger side Top Mounting Bracket and attach it to
the crossmember using the factory hex bolts. Push the bracket back against the crossmember
and tighten the (2) hex bolts on this bracket only, (Figure 5).
