XRC Rear Armor Corner Guard Kit
Step 5: Unbolt and remove the tail lights from the vehicle. Save the hardware for reinstalla-
tion.
Step 6: Remove the rear bumper from the vehicle if it appears that it will interfere with the
installation of the rear fender armor. Save the hardware for reinstallation.
Step 7: Test fit the rear armor fender (93-7037 drvr and 93-7047 pass) using C-clamps
around the outside of the panels through the windows. Fig B & C.
IMPORTANT!: Align the upper edge of the armor with the body line. The bottom
rear edge of the armor should line up with the radius of the lower edge. The front of the
armor should be aligned so that it provides proper clearance for door operation. Fig B &
C.
Step 8: Once the armor fender is properly aligned and clamped into place, mark the appro-
priate holes for drilling. Fig B & C.
NOTE: If you are reinstalling the license plate box to the vehicle, place the supplied
drill template on the rear of the driver side fender against the tailgate. Using the holes in
the template mark the driver side armor fender for drilling.
Step 9: Remove the armor fender and center punch the previously applied marks for drill-
ing. Carefully drill the fender mounting marks out to 33/64”and the license plate holes to
3/4” and 3/8”. Fig B & C.
IMPORTANT!: DO NOT drill through the interior panels.
Step 10: Install the 3/8” nutcerts into the previously drilled 33/64” holes in the quarter
panel.
NOTE: If you do not have a professional nutcert installation tool, use the 2 1/2” X
3/8” socket head bolt, 3/8” nut and washer. Install the nutcert into the 1/2” hole on the
vehicle. Thread the nut up as far on the 3/8” bolt as it will go and then follow that with the
washer. Thread the bolt, nut, washer, nutcert tool (96-5951) and star washer assembly
