LET’S GET STARTED!

1. FIRST STEP IS TO REMOVE THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNT AS SHOWN ON THE RIGHT. MOST OFTEN THIS WILL BE ATTACHED WITH PHILIPS DRIVE SCREWS, BUT OCCASIONALLY THEY WILL BE HELD WITH RIVETS THAT WILL NEED TO BE DRILLED OUT.

2. AFTER REMOVING THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNT YOU WILL SEE TWO BOLTS. REMOVE THESE WITH A 13MM SOCKET AND SET ASIDE.
   NOTE- WE RECOMMEND CLEANING THE AREA BEHIND THE LICENSE
   PLATE MOUNT NOW BEFORE WE COVER IT BACK UP.
   
   

3. NEXT, GRAB THE NUDGE BAR, M8-1.25 X 40 FLANGED HEX HEAD SCREWS, M8 FLAT WASHERS, AND PLATE SPACERS AND INSERT THE HARDWARE INTO THE NUDGE BAR AS SHOWN ON THE RIGHT. YOU’LL HAVE TO HOLD THE HARDWARE IN PLACE AS YOU POSITION THE NUDGE BAR IN PLACE ON THE BUMPER. FINGER TIGHTEN THE HARDWARE INTO THE BUMPER AS YOU HOLD IT IN PLACE.
   NOTE- WE RECOMMEND PUTTING SOME BLUE LOCTITE ON THE M8 BOLTS BEFORE THREADING THEM INTO THE BUMPER.

5. TO PREPARE FOR INSTALLING THE FRONT PLATE, YOU MUST FIRST REMOVE THE TWO FACTORY BOLTS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BUMPER THAT  HOLDTHE SPLASH GUARD ON. THESE BOLTS REQUIRE A 10MM SOCKET. SET THESE ASIDE, AS WE WILL REINSTALL THEM.

6. NOW, GRAB THE FRONT PLATE AND LOOSELY THREAD IN THE FOUR 1/4-20 X 0.75 FLANGED BUTTON HEAD HEX DRIVE SCREWS INTO THE FOUR HOLES AS SHOWN BELOW. KEEP THESE PLENTY LOOSE FOR THE NEXT STEP.

7. GRAB THE BOLTS YOU REMOVED FROM THE SPLASH GUARD AND REINSTALL THEM IN THE LOWER SLOTS OF THE FRONT PLATE AS SHOWN. YOU MAY NEED TO WIGGLE THEM A BIT TO GET THEM TO BITE. LEAVE THEM LOOSE, THEN TIGHTEN THE FOUR 1/4-20 SCREWS ON THE FRONT PLATE BEFORE TIGHTENING THE LOWER BOLTS DOWN.

8. ONCE YOU’VE TIGHTENED DOWN ALL THE HARDWARE YOU CAN REINSTALL YOUR LICENSE PLATE USING THE TWO REMAINING 1/4-20 X 0.75 FLANGED BUTTON HEAD HEX DRIVE SCREWS.
