Start installation from under the front of the vehicle. Determine if
the vehicle is equipped with tow hooks. IMPORTANT: Tow hooks
cannot be reinstalled with the Tyger Guard.
Tow Hook equipped vehicles:
Remove the factory tow hook from the end of each frame chan-
nel, (Fig 1). Skip to Step 2 if tow hooks were accessible and have
been removed. NOTE: Tow hooks on 2014-on models may be
difficult to remove and assistance is highly recommended on
these models. The following info only applies to the 2014-on
models.
a.
On models with factory fog lights, unplug both lights. Move
all wiring harnesses away from bumper.
b.
Open the hood and remove the cover between the top of the
radiator and the grille. Remove the bolts attaching the bottom
of the grille if attached to the cross member. Remove the
grille.
c.
On 2014-15 models, from behind the bumper, release the
clips and hardware to remove the plastic body panel, (facia),
on top of the bumper between the bottom of the grille and the
top of the bumper, (Fig 2).
d.
Remove the outer bumper supports on each side of the
frame.
e.
Place blocks or jack stands under the front bumper to
support it during mounting bolt removal. Once the bumper has
been safely supported, remove the factory bumper bolts
attaching the bumper to the inner bumper bracket bolted to
the end of the frame, (Figs 2-3).
WARNING!
Assistance is required to hold the bumper in place
during bolt removal to prevent the bumper from falling.
Carefully slide the bumper assembly with brackets off of the
ends of the frame.
f.
Once bumper has been removed, remove both tow hooks.
g.
Reattach the bumper, facia panel if equipped and grille
after both tow hooks have been removed and the openings
have been checked for Bracket clearance. Trim around
openings as required for Bracket clearance.
h.
Tighten all factory bumper hardware at this time.
