16. Align the Upper Sub-Frame Bracket as

shown in figure 22, and slide it upward

between the outer fender sheet metal and

the inner tub brace. It may be a tight fit, and

could require a firm shove or two. Position it

so that the threads of the u-nuts are roughly

aligned with the 5 corresponding holes in the

outer fender.

FIGURE 22

Re-use three (3) of the OEM metric hex head

bolts to attach the Upper Sub-Frame Bracket,

bolting them through the holes along the

bottom of the bracket.

FIGURE 23

17. (OPTIONAL) If you plan to use your Jeep in

extremely tough conditions, you may choose

to add some strengthening welds to the

Upper Sub-Frame Brace. We have provided

four (4) extra holes in the bottom surface of

the brace, as shown in Figure 24, where you

may plug-weld it to the heavy-gauge metal of

the inner tub support.

FIGURE 24

If you choose to weld, use the fine-tip felt

pen to mark the areas through the holes,

then remove the Upper Sub-Frame Bracket.

Sand or grind the paint from the area of the

Jeep’s inner tub where you intend to weld.

Also, use a die grinder or rat-tail file to remove

the powder-coat from the inner edges of the

weld holes in the bracket. Then re-install

the bracket and plug-weld at the designated

holes. Allow the welds to cool, then apply

some paint to protect the welds from rust.

18. Use a small screw-driver or spud bar to

finish aligning the u-nuts with the holes in the

outer fender. The u-nuts “float” somewhat

and have some room for adjustment.

19. Re-Install the Crusher Flare, but only install

one of the flat head cap screws at this time,

using one of the holes along the top edge,

with the u-nut you installed previously. This
