13.  Reinsert plastic nut (both sides) back into the inner fender 

well.  

14.  Reinstall the screw removed in step 4 (both sides).  This is 

how it will look after the plastic is cut.

15.  From underneath vehicle, remove the bolt just outside of 

tow hook (both sides).  It will be the bolt that holds the stock 

frame insert piece to the vehicle.  Keep bolt as you will be 

reusing them to attach bumper supports.  

Do not remove the 

tow hook bolts.

16.  Before installing frame bracket you will need to cut out a 

small notch in the plastic air shroud.

 

a.  Hold frame bracket in place and mark area on shroud  

 

to notch (enough to clear the frame extension bracket).   

 

Carefully cut notch and fit up bracket.

 

b.  Slide new frame bracket over the three bolts left where  

 

you removed the aluminum frame extensions and    

 

lightly hold into place using the factory nuts in step 7.  

  

 

Leave nuts loose at this time to allow for adjustment.
