11. Place baseplate onto bumper frame. The back edge of the baseplate should be ush with the
bumper frame bracket. Using a 13/32” drill bit and the baseplate as a template, drill out the holes.
Do this on both sides.
Insert the 3/8”-16 hex head bolts, 3/8” lock washers and 3/8”-16 nut plates. To make the
installation of the nut plates easier, tip the baseplate forward slightly.
12. Reattach the bumper frame using the existing hardware except for the top bolt on the bottom
section of the bumper bracket. The supplied 8MM bolt replaces the bolt that was removed as the
attached washer would not allow the bolt to be started.
