Jeep®JK Wrangler Rear HD Bumper
1. Remove original rear bumper. It is held in by 2 bolts on each side (Figure 1a), and 2 bolts that are
attached to brackets which fasten to the rear crossmember (Figure 1b). After the bumper is
removed, remove the small brackets from the rear crossmember (Figure 1c). Save the 4 bolts
from the side and the 2 bolts from the crossmember, as they are to be re-used.

2. Place Bracket on rear frame rails. Brackets need to be angled up while slid over frame rail
(Figure 2a), and then dropped down to level once crossmember hook has been cleared. (Figure 2b).
Use bolts removed in Step 1 to bolt brackets to frame (Figure 2c). Two bolts are used to fasten
bracket to frame rail, and one to fasten bracket to rear crossmember. Do not tighten bolts yet.
