BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The JK Brawler MID Skid is shipped un-painted.
Before you paint or powder coat, perform the
entire installation of the product to ensure that
it fits without risking damage to your paint or
powder coat finish. Poison Spyder Customs is
not responsible for paint or powder coat costs
in the event you damage the finish during
installation, or that the parts are incorrect or
defective.
You will want to paint or powder-coat these
components prior to FINAL installation. If
painting them yourself, we recommend starting
with a quality etching primer and allowing
sufficient cure/dry time between coats and
before you apply color. Quality spray-can paints
are fine, however be sure to thoroughly paint all
of the inside corners and hard-to-reach areas
of the bumper. A little extra time and attention
to detail on your preparation and paint process
will pay off in longer-lasting good looks and rust
prevention.
The following installation instructions assume
that the customer already has a Brawler MID
front bumper, and that the OE bumper or the
Brawler MID bumper has already been removed
from the Jeep. See the instructions that came
with your Brawler MID front bumper for details
on that procedure.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the
emergency brake. You will want to wear eye
protection beyond this point. It is assumed
the stock bumper has already been removed,
and that the Brawler MID bumper installation
is already in progress (The bumper should
not be mounted on to the Jeep yet).
Perform the following steps for installing the
Skid Plate, within the bumper installation
procedure where noted in the instructions for
the bumper.
2. Bolt the Skid Plate to the bottom of the
Brawler MID Front Bumper, using the nine
(9) provided 3/8-16 X 1 Gr8 Hex Head Cap
Screws through the holes in the mounting
flange for each piece, fastened with the
provided 3/8 Gr8 Flat Washers and 3/8-16
Gr8 Nylon Insert Lock Nuts. These holes
will align when the two pieces are properly
mated together. Note that the bolts at the
front-outermost corners on each side may
interfere with the Jeep’s bumper mount
flanges. This is due to some year-to-year
manufacturing variances in Jeep models. If
