QRC Front Bumper: Install on Vehicle

Loosely install the over rider bar
through the bumper and into the sup-
port brackets with two M10 allen head
bolts and washers using a 6mm hex key.
(FIG 29)

Lastly, loosely install the final hardware
for the over rider bar using 4 M10 allen
head bolts, 8 washers and 4 nylock nuts
through the remaining holes. (FIG 30)

Final Adjustment: 

You may now tighten the M10 allen head hardware through the tow hooks to 55ft
lbs. Torque the OEM hardware securing the over rider brackets to frame to 55ft lbs. 
Now torque the remaining over rider bar M10 mounting hardware to 55ft lbs. 

Installation is now complete.

Your Bumper has been designed and
manufactured to provide years of use.
However, like any product, general
maintenance is required to keep it
looking new.

Since the bumper is located on the front
of the vehicle, it is subject to potential
rock chips and other debris potentially
causing portions of the paint to chip off.
We recommend using a textured or gloss
black spray paint sprayed on a piece of
cardboard and Q-Tip to gently fill in 

these chips. This will prevent any rust
from forming. On all bumpers there is a
chance of some surface rust showing
over time due to metal particles being
embedded in the paint. This surface rust
is easily removed by a non-abrasive
cleaner/ polish and a soft bristle brush
(not a metal brush!).

For bumpers with a textured finish,
wash only with soapy water and avoid
other waxes and polishes.
