IMPORTANT: Poison Spyder Customs, Inc. is

NOT RESPONSIBLE for paint or powder coating

costs, damage to paint or powder coating, or

costs associated with inadvertently painting or

powder coating components that are defective

or were shipped or assembled in error. It is the

customer’s responsibility to pre-install and verify

that all parts are correct prior to paint or powder

coat.
NOTE ON STEEL CRUSHER FLARES: The

small space where the top plate meets the outer

tube is not continuously welded, and therefore

not completely sealed against moisture. Please

make sure that paint or powder coat are applied

heavily in this area, to seal the seam up against

water intrusion and rust forming (this is not

an issue on aluminum Crusher Flares). Thick

coatings such as spray-on bedliner material will

also seal it up if applied correctly. If your paint or

coating is very thin or not thoroughly applied to

this area, apply a bead of silicone sealant to the

seam on the underside of the top plate where it

meets the tubing.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The following procedure is for preparation and

installation of the JK Crusher Flare on one side of

the Jeep. Once complete, repeat the procedure

for the other side.
1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the

emergency brake. You will want to wear eye

protection beyond this point in time.

2. Remove the inner fender by using a 10mm

socket to remove the factory hex head bolts,

and a push-in retainer removal tool to pop

out the plastic push-in retainers.

FIGURE 2

Try not to damage the inner fender or the

plastic retainers. Set the inner fender, all

of the plastic retainers and hex head bolts

aside, as some will be re-used during the

installation process.

3. Disconnect the side marker lamp by pulling
