Removal Instructions
Step 1
Remove the two plastic clips on the top of the bumper.
Step 2
If your Jeep has 6 additional clips on the front lip of the plastic bumper
cover, remove those clips now. Then, pull the plastic cover off the vehicle.
Unplug the front bumper harness located along the passenger side frame rail.
Step 3
Use a 13mm Socket to remove both lower skid plate bolts. Then, using an
18mm Socket, remove the bumper mounting bolts (4 per side). Remove the bumper
from the vehicle. The other two mounting bolts are on the other side of the
frame rail.
Step 4
Using a 16mm Socket, remove the bolts referenced below in the first
picture. Remove the skid mounting plate. If your Jeep does not have this
plate, skip this step. The bottom two pictures are optional. Cut the frame
stilts just below the sway bar mounts. Follow the line shown below. Make sure
to paint over any bare metal when you are finished cutting.
Step 5
If you have any lights or a winch to install on your bumper, now is a good
time to do so. Please follow the light/winch manufacturer’s guide for
mounting/wiring information. Use the supplied Light Mount Kit that came with
the bumper to mount your lights. Installation instructions for our light mount
kit can be found.
Step 6
Set the supplied U-Nuts (x6) in place on your new bumper. Then drill the
lower/outer bumper mounting holes to 1/2. Make sure to paint over any bare
metal once you are finished.
STEP 7
Set the bumper into place on the vehicle. Install the supplied 3/8” bolts, and
washers in the 6 mounting holes located on the inside and top outer corners of
the frame horns. Then, install the supplied 1/2” button head bolts, washers,
and nylon lock nuts into the outer/lower mounting holes.

STEP 1

periodically thereafter.
