9. Observe the recessed area where the

removable skid plate is to be installed along

the front lower surface of the RockBrawler

bumper. The lower-most hole in this

recessed surface, on each side, is backed

by a weld-nut which interferes with the OE

crash bar that is located directly behind it.

Later, you will drill holes in the crash bar to

provide clearance for these weld nuts. But

first, use a hammer and 5/16” transfer punch

inserted through this hole (and weld-nut)

to make a corresponding drill mark on the

surface of the crash bar (see Figure 11). Do

this for the lower-most hole on both ends of

the recessed skid plate mounting surface.

the front surface of the crash bar at both

locations you marked with the transfer punch
