Vehicles equipped with factory tow hooks:
Step-4 
From the opening at the end of the driver side frame, position (1) M12 t-bolt inside the frame
with the bolt extending out through the obround shape hole on the side of the frame. Install (1) vinyl 
gasket on the bolt to keep the t-bolt from falling back into the frame. Note: To ease installation use the 
supplied pull wire to fish the t-bolt from the opening and out through hole in the frame.

Step-5 From the front of the bumper position the driver side mounting bracket through the opening in 
the bumper lower cover and up to the side of the frame, align the upper hole in the mounting bracket 
with the M12 t-bolt, then secure the mounting bracket to the side of the frame using the M12 t-bolt, (1) 
½” flat washer, (1) ½” lock washer and (1) M12 hex nut. Leave the nut and t-bolt loose.

Step-6 Align the hole in the mounting bracket with the hole in the frame for the tow hook, and re-
install the tow hook and tow hook bolts and nut to secure the mounting bracket and tow hook, (Fig 4). 
Snug but do not tighten the bolts and nuts. Repeat step 4 through 6 for the passenger side mounting 
bracket.
