Upon drilling the corners of the tow hook area, use a utility knife, skill saw or other cutting device to cut the
plastic between the drilled holes as shown in

Figure 4: Tow hook cutout
Depending on which model vehicle you are working on, it may be necessary to now trim out the inside of
the bumper to allow for adequate main frame bracket fit.
If your vehicle is equipped with factory tow hooks, insert the main frame brackets into the inside of the
bumper and check for any interference. You may need to widen the factory cutout as shown in
Figure 4
.
Once the tow hook easily slides through the top cutout in the bumper as in
Figure 5
, test fit the steel portion
of the bumper.
With the steel portion of the bumper installed into the back of the plastic bumper, the main frame brackets
must be able to mount flush to the factory bumper as shown in
Figure 6
. Trim out the inside of the plastic
bumper as necessary.
If your vehicle is not equipped with factory tow hooks, it will be necessary to cutout the inside of the plastic
bumper as shown in
Figure 7
. Be sure not to cut through the front face of the bumper. This step is easily
completed using a cutting wheel.
Note: The main frame brackets are left and right side specific. See Figures 7 and 9 for clarity.
