Wrangler. This custom fit

front Bumper has been designed for
long life and a great look. Though con-
structed of only the finest materials, this
bumper must be maintained to keep its
look while performing under the tough-
est conditions. Please see page 10 for im-
portant care & maintenance tips to keep 

your bumper looking like new. When
unpacking, check to make sure all parts
are included and not damaged due to
shipping. If any part is missing or
broken, please call Customer Service
at 800-745-6037 as soon as possible.

Thank you again for your purchase and
let’s start the installation process.

AS YOU UNPACK YOUR FRONT BUMPER, BE CAREFUL NOT TO
SCRATCH THE FINISH WITH A KNIFE OR RAZOR. WE SUGGEST
PLACING THE UNPACKED BUMPER BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL BOX
SO IT DOES NOT GET SCRATCHED BEFORE THE INSTALLATION BEGINS.
THIS BUMPER HAS A CUT-OUT FOR A VEHICLE RECOVERY WINCH.
THE BUMPER FEATURES AN INTEGRATED WINCH MOUNTING PLATE.

WELDED FRONT BUMPERS ARE HEAVY AND WE STRONGLY SUGGEST
THE ASSISTANCE OF AN ABLE-BODIED ASSISTANT DURING LIFTING
AND INSTALLATION OF YOUR BUMPER.
