or sand away paint and residue from the cut ends of the

frame rails where the crossmember will be welded.

17. Re-position the crossmember, again checking

for straightness in relation to the Jeep’s frame, and tack into

place. After a ﬁnal check that it is straight and plumb, fully

weld around all seams and edges where the crossmember

meets the frame rails.

18. Once the welds have cooled, primer and paint the

bare steel crossmember as well as any sanded or cut areas

of the frame. If painting yourself, careful preparation will

make a big difference in the quality and longevity of your

paint job, even using “rattle can” aerosol paints. Begin by

thoroughly cleaning the bumper with solvent or de-greaser,

then make sure all residue is removed. Even if you use

cheap paint, try to use a good quality primer. “Etching”

primers are best to use on bare, unpainted metal. Allow it

to properly dry before painting, and between paint coats.

Congratulations, you have installed your Poison

Spyder Customs JK BFH II Rear Crossmember!

You may now either use your Jeep with only the

Crossmember as a “minimalist” bumper, or you may

proceed with installation of the Poison Spyder JK BFH

II Rear Bumper!
