CJ-YJ-TJ-LJ ROCKBRAWLER BFH FRONT BUMPER

The Poison Spyder Customs RockBrawler BFH

front bumper is easy to install with the right

tools and good mechanical abilities. If you are

not confident in your mechanical skills, please

seek the help of a professional to perform the

installation. Please read through these entire

instructions before proceeding with installation.

PARTS LIST

(1) RockBrawler BFH Bumper

TOOLS NEEDED

• Torx T55 socket
• Ratchet
• Torque wrench
• Measuring tape
• Soft dead blow hammer or mallet
• Fine-tip felt marker, 1/2” drill bit and drill

motor (CJ models only)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Poison Spyder Customs Front Stinger comes

as un-painted, bare steel. You will want to either

powder coat or paint the bumper prior to install. If

painting yourself, careful preparation will make a

big difference in the quality and longevity of your

paint job, even using “rattle can” aerosol paints.

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the Stinger with

solvent or degreaser, then make sure all residue

is removed. Even if you use cheap paint, try to

use a good quality primer. “Etching” primers are

best to use on bare, un-painted metal. Allow it to

properly dry before paitning, and between paint

coats.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park the Jeep on
a flat, level surface and

set the parking brake.

2. Remove existing front bumper. If it is still

the OEM bumper and hardware, there are

four bolts (two on the top and two on the

bottom that hold the bumper in place). These

will likely be Torx bolts, use a T55 Torx bit.

3. Place the RockBrawler BFH Bumper on to

the frame rails, in place of the bumper that

was removed. Visually align the bumper

mounting slots with the threaded holes in

the frame rails. Take measurements to

ensure that the bumper is installed square

to the frame and grill. Use a soft dead-

blow hammer, if necessary, to make fine

adjustments.

4. On CJ models, use a fine-tip felt marker to

mark through the rearward winch mounting

holes (closest to the grille) onto the

crossmember underneath. Pull the bumper

off and drill the two marks with a 1/2” drill.

Later, when installing the winch, the two

rearward bolts will sandwich the bumper

between the crossmember and the winch. If

not installing a winch, use two 3/8-16 X 1 Gr8

Hex Head Cap Screws with flat washers and

lock nuts (not provided) to secure the bumper

to the crossmember at these two locations.

5. Use the original hardware to bolt the

bumper to the frame rails. Torque to OE

specifications.

6. If installing a winch with Poison Spyder

Winch Fairlead Mount, follow the instructions

included with the Winch Fairlead Mount.

Congratulations, you have installed your Poison

Spyder Customs RockBrawler BFH front bumper!
