P age 2 of 7
1. Remove the rear bumper from the vehicle leaving the rear crossmember exposed (Figure 1). Save the
lower frame mounting bolts (Figure 2) as these will be reused in the installation of the new bumper.
2. Place drivers’ side-frame bracket in crossmember channel and line up holes (Figure 3). Place driver’s side
sub-frame against crossmember, and using the supplied M12 x 35 bolts and washers, attach the sub-frame to
the vehicle (Figure 4). Do not tighten bolts at this time.
Note: YJ’s may require the the outer crossmember holes to be enlarged for a proper fit. Do not exceed 5/8” or
16mm in diameter.
3. Support the sub-frame with your hand and line up the lower mounting tab with the hole in the bottom of
the frame rail. Using the bolt saved from Step 1, insert through sub-frame tab and thread into lower frame rail
(Figure 5). Do not tighten bolts at this time.
