Start installation from under the front of the vehicle. Determine if
the vehicle is equipped with tow hooks. IMPORTANT: Tow hooks
cannot be reinstalled with the Tyger Guard.
Tow Hook equipped vehicles:
Remove the factory tow hook from the end of each frame chan-
nel, (Fig 1). Skip to Step 2 if tow hooks were accessible and have
been removed. NOTE: Tow hooks on 2014-on models may be
difficult to remove and assistance is highly recommended on
these models. The following info only applies to the 2014-on
models.
a. On models with factory fog lights, unplug both lights. Move
all wiring harnesses away from bumper.
b. Open the hood and remove the cover between the top of the
radiator and the grille. Remove the bolts attaching the bottom
of the grille if attached to the cross member. Remove the
grille.
c. On 2014-15 models, from behind the bumper, release the
clips and hardware to remove the plastic body panel, (facia),
on top of the bumper between the bottom of the grille and the
top of the bumper, (Fig 2).
d. Remove the outer bumper supports on each side of the
frame.
e. Place blocks or jack stands under the front bumper to
support it during mounting bolt removal. Once the bumper has
been safely supported, remove the factory bumper bolts
attaching the bumper to the inner bumper bracket bolted to
the end of the frame, (Figs 2-3).
WARNING! Assistance is required to hold the bumper in place
during bolt removal to prevent the bumper from falling.
Carefully slide the bumper assembly with brackets off of the
ends of the frame.
f. Once bumper has been removed, remove both tow hooks.
g. Reattach the bumper, facia panel if equipped and grille
after both tow hooks have been removed and the openings
have been checked for Bracket clearance. Trim around
openings as required for Bracket clearance.
h. Tighten all factory bumper hardware at this time.
i. Proceed to Step 2.

Select the driver side Mounting Bracket. Insert the Bracket
through the opening in the bumper, (Fig 5). Trim the plastic as
required to clear the Brackets.
STEP 2
Line up the holes in the Bracket with the holes in the end of the
frame channel for the tow hook, (Fig 6). Select (1) 12mm Double
Bolt Plate, (Fig 7). Insert the Bolt Plate into the end of the frame,
through the (2) holes in the side of the frame and out through the
Bracket, (Figs 8-9). Secure the Bracket to the Bolt Plate with (2)
12mm Flat Washers and (2) 12mm Nylon Lock Nuts. Snug but do
not fully tighten hardware at this time.
STEP 3
Vehicles without Tow Hooks:
a. Cut out the indented area on both sides of the plastic
bumper insert to clear the Brackets as pictured, (Figs 4-5).
IMPORTANT: Make several small cuts for best fit. Do not cut
through the top edge of the panel. NOTE: On 2014-15 models,
the plastic panel is held in place with several small screws.
The screws at the top corners are difficult to impossible to
reach and remove without damaging the cover with the
bumper in place. If you prefer to remove the panel to cut out
the openings, it will be easier to remove the bumper assembly
with the plastic panel attached.
b. Reattach the bumper assembly, (if removed), facia and
grille once openings have been cut out and checked for
clearance. Tighten all factory bumper hardware at this time.

Repeat Step 3 to install the 12mm Single Bolt Plate, (Fig 10), into
the remaining hole in the other side of the frame channel and
Bracket, (Figs 8 & 11).
STEP 4
IMPORTANT:
The Brackets are designed with (2) mounting positions to fit
multiple years. Most Silverado/Sierra models will use the “back”
mounting position with the Brackets pushed in to install the Tyger
Guard closer to the bumper, (Fig 8). Some years may require the
forward mounting position to move the Tyger Guard forward or to
provide more clearance for accessory lights, (Fig 12).

With assistance, hold the Tyger Guard up in position on the
outside of the Mounting Brackets. Bolt the Tyger Guard to the
Brackets with (4) 10mm Hex Bolts, (8) 10mm Flat Washers and
(4) 10mm Nylon Lock Nuts, (Figs 13-14). Do not tighten hardware
at this time.
STEP 7
Check the Tyger Guard alignment with the vehicle and for clear-
ance between the Tyger Guard and the bumper. If Tyger Guard is
too close to or touching bumper, remove the Tyger Guard and
reinstall the Brackets in the “forward” position away from the
bumper (Fig 12). Adjust as required then fully tighten all hardware
at this time.
STEP 8
Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all
hardware is secure and tight.
