4. Stand back from the vehicle and check to see that the Grille Guard is centered and level on the
vehicle and adjust as necessary. IMPORTANT: Once properly aligned, tighten all hardware.
5. Do periodic inspections of the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
6. Optional: If the vehicle was not equipped with tow hooks and you removed the plastic cover
detailed in Step 2, it may be reinstalled once the Grille Guard is properly adjusted. Trim equal
amounts from each end until the cover fits between the Frame Mounting Brackets. Line up the
mounting holes and secure the cover with the factory 2-piece plastic clips by pushing the outer
socket into place then inserting the center pin.
To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to
add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives
that could damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish.
Mild soap may be used also to clean the Grille Guard.
For gloss black finishes: Mild soap may be used to clean the Grille Guard.
