yourself, we recommend starting with a quality etching primer and allowing sufficient cure/dry time between coats and before you apply color. Quality spray-can paints are fine, however be sure to thoroughly paint all of the inside corners and hard-to-reach areas of the bumper. A little extra time and attention to detail on your preparation and paint process will pay off in longer-lasting good looks and rust prevention. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the emergency brake.

Remove the plastic top bumper cover. You may be able to remove the two plastic screws with a Phillips screwdriver. But it is likely they’re “frozen” in place and will have to be pried up with the push-in retainer removal tool. Do this for both ends of the crash bar.

It should fully seat this time, with the weld-nuts mentioned in Step 9 fitting through the clearance holes you drilled. Install and tighten all eight (8) lock nuts and flat washers onto the bumper mounting studs (two inboard and two outboard of each frame rail). 14.

corresponding holes to be drilled into the bottom edge of the Jeep’s crash bar. Look through the holes to ensure that the SubFrame Bracket does not interfere with any of the hole locations. If it does, the bracket can be adjusted slightly in either direction because you had left the nuts un-tightened in Step 16. Use a hammer and a 15/32” transfer punch through each of the countersunk holes to mark the five drill locations along the bottom of the crash bar.
