Installation:
3. If you have any lights you would like to install on your bumper, now would be a good time to do that. Please
follow the light manufacturer’s guides for mounting and wiring information.
4. Line the mounting holes on the bumper mounting plates up with the mounting holes on your vehicle’s frame
horns. en, secure the bumper to the frame horns using the supplied 3/8” Bolts (x8), 3/8” Washers (x16), and
3/8” Lock Nuts (x8). Leave these nger tight for now. (Fig C)
