Step 1
Starting on the driver side, remove the
two factory hex bolts securing the tow
hooks to the vehicle frame.
Step 2
Attach the driver-side mounting bracket
using the factory bolts previously
removed from the tow hooks.
If you prefer to retain the factory tow
hooks, they may be reinstalled over the
bull bar bracket prior to reinstalling the
factory bolts.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Step 3
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach
the passenger-side mounting bracket.
Step 4
To attach the bull bar mounting brackets,
lay the bull bar on a flat surface.
Insert two 8mm hex bolts in the outside
rail slots and one bolt in the inside slot.
Place the driver-side bracket over the
bolts and secure the bracket to the bull
bar using an 8mm flat washer and 8mm
nylon lock nut.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
