- If you purchased the Engine skid plate – install that one first – see instructions.
- Remove the stock front skid plate.
- Using the provided M12x1.25×35 bolts and hardware mount the front slots of the skid plate under the frame rails in the stock threaded holes near the end of the frame. DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM
- Install the M8 bolts from the bottom of the skid.
- Center the skid.
- Tighten all the bolts and drill the outside ½” holes into the frame. If you have the Engine Skid installed the holes are already there – just remove the bolts and this time go thru both skids.
