BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Poison Spyder Customs BFH bumper comes

as unpainted, 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 bumper with

solvent or de-greaser, 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, unpainted metal. Allow it to

properly dry before painting, 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.
3. Remove the “Crash Bar”. Use a torch,

plasma cutter, pneumatic or electric cutoff

wheel, reciprocating saw, or the cutting device

of your choice. At each end of the Crash Bar

there is a vertical bracket that attaches it to

each frame rail. Cut these brackets off as

close as possible where they meet the frame

rail. Be careful not to cut INTO the frame rail.

4. Measure 2” back, along the frame rail, from

the front edge of the OE bumper mounting

bracket. Use a square and/or straight edge

to mark a straight, perpendicular cut line at

this 2” measurement.
