TOOLS NEEDED

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 rear bumper. Keep the

OE hardware that attached the bumper to

the frame rails, as some of it will be re-used.

3. Use the provided Cut Templates to transfer

the drill and cut marks to the frame rails.

Carefully cut the template out along the

heavy line and place it against the frame rail.

Ensure that the circles marked “EXISTING

HOLE” on the template are aligned with the

corresponding holes in the frame rail. Use

a fine-tip felt marker to mark the cut line on

the side of the frame rail, as shown on the

template. Use a center punch to mark the

location of the center of the 1/2” hole you will

need to drill, as shown on the template.

NOTE: If you have downloaded these instructions

and are printing them out yourself, verify that

the overall dimensions of the cut template

on your print-out match the length and width

measurements shown on the template (9.0” X

4.5”). If the size is off, adjust your print settings

and re-print until the actual measurements match

those numbers.
4. Use a torch, plasma cutter, pneumatic or

electric cutoff wheel, reciprocating saw, or

the cutting device of your choice to cut the

frame rails along the cut marks that were

made with the template. Note that you will

be cutting away a significant portion of the

frame rails and the crossmember.
