EVERYTHING AUTO
Once you’ve removed the six
bolts mounting the bumper, be
careful with any wires attached
to the fog and driving lights.
With the bumper off, we
removed the tow loops from the
end of the frame rails by accessing the bolts from underneath.
A plastic storage bin makes a
good support for the loose
bumper.
Remove these bumper mounting bolts to install the upper
brackets.
The upper brackets mount to
the back of the bumper and
curve up over the top of the
bumper.
We put the bolts for the frame
extensions in place before inserting into the frame opening and
the bolts dropped right into
place.
The frame extension mounting
bolts take nuts from underneath.
Attaching the frame extensions
involves holding the bolt heads
at top while torquing the nuts
from below. Because you can’t
get to the nuts with the bumper
on, go ahead and torque them
down. Shims in the kit help with
most misalignments.
It was no problem sliding the
bumper past the frame extensions and re-fastening the
bumper.
