Parts Included: License Plate mounting bracket Assembly. Includes Base Plate and
License Plate Holder.
License Plate Mounting Screws: (2) 6mm X 12mm (Phillips head), (2) 6mm
nuts (10mm wrench size)
Base plate mounting screws: (2) 6mm X 40mm bolts with washers and
nuts with lock washers and (2) 9/16" spacers. (1) 6mm X 20mm bolt with
washer and nut.
(1) 2" X 2" Rock Chip film guard. NOTE: Must be used to prevent rubber
pad from rubbing on painted surface.
Tools Needed: 10mm socket with ratchet Note: 1/4-inch drive preferred but
3/8 will work but extra caution will be needed when tightening bolts.
Phillips Screwdriver, 10mm & 11mm wrench
1/4-inch drill bit and drill.
Step 1: Ensure all parts listed above are accounted for. Note: If at any time during the
installation process you need assistance please call [phone].
Step 2: Separate the license plate holder from the base by simply pulling the pull pin ring
outward and sliding apart.
Step 3: NOTE: This is an advanced installation, vehicle must be elevated by either using
ramps, a vehicle lift or floor jack and safety stands. See your local dealer if you are unsure
about this installation. Center bracket as shown in figure 1. Position the base mount centered
and up against the rubber rock guard. Note: Tube will be facing down.
Step 4: Once base plate is correctly positioned (Slide front plate into position and verify
alignment, then remove) carefully drill a hole for the back-mounting screws. See figure 2.
Step 5: Using the 6mm X 20mm bolt and nut secure the back of base plate to the vehicle.
Step 6: Note: After drilling through body. Visually ensure drill bit is properly placed on cross
member (centered) prior to drilling. It is recommended that one side is drilled, and the bolt,
washers, spacer and nut be installed prior to drilling second hole. This allows you to verify

aliment prior to drilling second hole. Now drill two holes for the front mounting bolts. See
figure 3. Carefully drill through the body and then into the cross member running directly above
as pictured in figure 4. Note: Some cross members will have a small plate welded in the center,
however it will not affect the installation. Extra care must be taken to insure the holes are
drilled straight into the cross member. Using the 6mm X 40mm bolts, nuts and 9/16" spacers
secure front of base plate using the method. Slide the bolt with washer through the base plate
and into the hole in the body while holding the 9/16" spacer between the body and cross
member as shown in figure 5. Repeat for other side. Figure 6 shows what it should look like
when complete.
Step 7: Secure the license plate and frame (optional) to the license plate bracket using the two
screws and nuts provided. Requires the Phillips Screwdriver and 10mm wrench (Not included).
Step 8: Slide the license plate rods into the two tubes located on the base plate. Slide the rods
into the tubes until the rods hit the pull pin. Simply pull the ring on the pull pin and advance the
rods. Release ring and continue to advance rods until the pull pin locks into place. Note: The
rods and spring-loaded pull pin are required to be sprayed periodically with WD-40 or any
other silicone type spray lube. Failure to do so could result in either the failure of the pull pin
or the rods becoming difficult to remove or reinsert. Note: In harsh environments, such as
areas where roads are either salted or sanded in the winter, spraying of the rods and pull pin
should be performed on a regular basis. Failure to provide this maintenance may void your
warranty. See figure 7. Note: There is a small variance from vehicle to vehicle, to compensate
for this two-pinning location have been drilled. Use the pinning location that allows the back
of the front plate to stop approximately 3/16 to a 1/4 of an inch from the front bumper. In
some occasions the license plate may require a little adjustment to level. Simply pull pin and
slide plate out approximately two inches, grab frame at arrows (See figure 8) and rotate. If plate
is high on left or right side, rotate high side down slightly and release. Verify alignment and
repeat as necessary. Once leveled plate will remain level. Once installation is complete, place
the rock chip film guard on vehicle just above rubber pad.
