Maintenance
To protect the product, wax after installing. Regular waxing is recommended
to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax
that may contain abrasives that could damage the finish.
For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes,
polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs on the finish.
Mild automotive detergent may be used to clean the product. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive
cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or other similar products that may damage the finish.
CAUTION
Strong magnets may produce pinch hazards and may be
harmful to pacemakers and other sensitive electronics.
NOTICE
Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly.
Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.

Step 1
Remove factory tow hook pins if installed.
Insert the mounting bar into
the tow hook opening and install
the factory tow hook pin.
Step 4
Use a 5/16" allen wrench and 3/4" socket to
secure the guard to the mounting brackets
with a 5/8" x 7/8" shoulder bolt, two .63" x
1.25" x .040" x .082" belleville washers (large
diameter to the guard bracket face) and a
1/2"–13 nylock nut. Use the bottom holes of
the mounting brackets.
Step 2
Starting on the passenger side,
slide a mounting bracket over the
tow hook mounting bracket and secure
with a 3/4" – 10 x 2" bolt and 3/4" lock
washer. Keep the bracket square on the
truck and tighten with the 1-1/8" socket.
Note: Some trucks have a larger tow hook
opening. If the mounting bracket does
not securely rest against the vehicle
frame on all four sides of the square
tube, use the included spacers between
the frame and mounting bracket.
Step 3
Using the 5/8" – 11 x 1-3/4" bolts,
9/16" flat washers and 5/8"-11 flange
nuts, secure the adjustable mounting
bracket to the mounting bracket.
Repeat steps 2 through 3 on the driver side.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.

Step 5
Use a 15/16" socket and wrench to secure the
magnet bracket assemblies to the mounting
brackets of the grille guard with a 5/8"–11
x 1-3/4" bolt, 5/8" flat washer and 5/8"–11
nylock nut. The safety pin bracket must
be on the passenger side.
Adjust the adjustable mounting brackets as
needed to align the guard on the truck. Tighten
the 5/8”-11 x 1-3/4” bolts to the recommended
torque specifications listed on page one.
NOTICE
Magnets and brackets are pre-assembled,
some adjustment may be necessary after the
grille guard is installed on the truck.
Step 6
Close the guard and check to make sure the
magnets line up correctly. Adjust if needed.
With the grill guard installed, periodic inspections should be
performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
To protect your investment, see the
'Notes and Maintenance' section on page one.
Congratulations on the installation
of your new RETRAC Tuff Guard®grille guard.
