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.

TOOLS NEEDED

keys

• Cut-off wheel, pneumatic body saw, plasma

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.
