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.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the

emergency brake. You will want to wear eye

protection beyond this point.

2. Remove the plastic lower air dam. Use a

push-in retainer removal tool to pop out the

plastic push-in retainers along the front edge

and also underneath/behind the air dam

where it attaches to the crash bar. If you do

not have a push-in retainer tool, a flat-edge

screwdriver or small pry-bar may be used.

3. If your Jeep is equipped with factory

fog lamps, reach behind the bumper and

disconnect the wiring harness plugs from the

sockets at the back of each lamp. A small flat

head screwdriver may be useful to release

the tangs on the plug

4. Use a ratchet and 19mm deep socket to

remove the eight (8) nuts that fasten the

bumper to the frame. There are two of these

nuts on the inner side, and two on the outer

side, of each frame rail where it joins the

bumper.

With these nuts removed, remove the

bumper from the Jeep.

5. If your Jeep is equipped with factory fog

lamps, these may be removed from the stock

bumper and re-installed into the RockBrawler

bumper. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove

the four (4) retaining screws from each lamp,

on the back side of the bumper.

Install the factory fog lamps into the fog lamp

mounts in the back side of the RockBrawler

These sheetmetal screws will form their own

threads as you drive them into the retaining
