TJ/LJ-YJ-CJ DEFENDERS INSTALLATION
Thank you for purchasing Poison Spyder
DeFenders™ for your Jeep. Installation is
fairly simple with the right tools and good
mechanical abilities. If you are not confident in
your mechanical skills, please seek the help of a
professional to perform the installation. Please
read through these entire instructions before
proceeding with installation.
IMPORTANT: Completely install and remove the
DeFenders™ prior to painting or powder coating
it. This will allow you to check for fitment or
do any clearancing or fitting ahead of time, to
reduce the chance of damage to the finish during
final installation. Poison Spyder Customs Inc. is
not responsible for costs for or damage to paint
or powder coat finish under any circumstances,
including paint or powder coat of incorrectly
shipped or defective parts.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
NOTE: the following steps denote the procedure
for making the necessary cuts to the stock
fenders, with the fenders and inner fenders not
fully removed from the Jeep. Some customers
have reported they found it quicker/easier to
remove the entire fender from the Jeep to make
the necessary cuts to the fender on a workbench.
You may choose either method at your discretion,
but note that if removing the entire fender to
make the cuts, you will need to remove and
reinstall all of the under-hood components that
mount to the inner fender, for which we do not
provide a detailed procedure.
1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the
emergency brake. You will want to wear eye
protection beyond this point in time.
2. Remove any existing plastic fender flares
from the vehicle. Remove the hood latches.
3. (TJ/LJ ONLY) Disconnect and remove
battery, battery tray, and battery tray bracket.
Retain the OE hardware.
4. Disconnect all turn signal wires from the
turn signal light housing. Check for any other
loose wiring and be sure it is out of the way.
