This is one of our XL bracket series, which Fig.A allows the visible front portion of the bracket be easily removed from the front of the car by removing the front braces. The bracket kit consists of a receiver brace, two front braces, and a hardware pack. The rear receiver brace mounts the front of the frame and protrudes through the lower grill below the headlights. The bumper core is removed and replaced with the receiver brace. The front braces insert in the rear brace and pin in place. Before starting the installation, lay out the kit components as it is illustrated. This will give you a visual idea of how the components work and also confirm that everything is present and accounted for.

Fig.B Fig.C Fig.D 1. Important: please use all supplied bolts and parts and read all instructions carefully before beginning this installation. The majority of questions you may have can be answered within the text, and proper installation will ensure safe and secure travel. Now, begin the installation by removing the front fascia, starting with two 10mm (head) bolts located on the p near the inside corners of the headlights (Fig.B), then two plastic fasteners in the lower grille opening (Fig.C). Move the fender wells and remove three plastic fasteners in each fender well (Fig.D). Remove three 10mm (head) bolts from the botm of the fascia in front of the fender wells on each side, then remove three more across the botm of the fascia (Fig.E). Now, go the fascia fender joints and remove one plastic fastener in each side (Fig.F). Disconnect the foglights (Fig.G) and pull forward remove and set aside (Fig.H). Fig.E Fig.F Fig.G 2. Remove two plastic fasteners from the radiar air deflecrs on each side (Fig.I) and remove (Fig.J). 3. Remove the bumper core (four 13mm nuts, two on each side Fig.K,L). Note: retain the bumper core and attachment hardware so that it can be replaced if the bracket is ever removed. Fig.H Fig.I Fig.J ROADMASTER, INC. reserves the right make changes at any time without notice in material, specification and models or discontinue models.

Fig.K Fig.L Fig.M 4. Now remove the tie down brackets (five 13mm head bolts) on each side (Fig.M), then remove the bumper core support brackets in front of the frame tubes (four 13mm head bolts) on each side (Fig.N). Note: The main receiver brace will replace all the parts removed in steps 3 and 4 except some of the bolts, which will be reused (Fig.O). Note: retain the bumper core attachment hardware so that it can be replaced if the bracket is ever removed. Fig.N Fig.O Fig.P 5. On both sides, using two of the bumper core mounting bolts you removed, bolt the 4½" x 3-5/8" backing plate the side of the frame (Fig.P). Note: due manufacturing variances, some vehicles may not be equipped with facry weld nuts. If this is the case, use the four supplied 10mm fender washers, lock washers and nuts instead of the weld nuts. Fig.Q Fig.R 6. Using the lower mounting points in the main receiver brace, bolt the main receiver brace the radiar support using the two 10mm x 1.5 x 35mm bolts, fender washers and lock washers (Fig.Q). Note: due manufacturing variances, some vehicles may not be equipped with facry weld nuts. Enlarge the hole in the botm of the frame and then use the four supplied 10mm fender washers, lock washers and nuts instead of the weld nuts (Fig.R). ROADMASTER, INC. reserves the right make changes at any time without notice in material, specification and models or discontinue models.

Fig.S Fig.T Fig.U 7. Bolt through the p front frame mounting holes, the outside backing plate and an inner backing plate with two 10mm x 1.5 x 140mm bolts, fender washers, lock washers and nuts on each side (Fig.S,T,U). Fig.V Fig.W Fig.X 8. Using the main receiver brace as a drill template, drill a 17/32" hole through the front of the frame on each side (Fig.V). 9. Bolt through these holes with a ½" x 5½" bolt, beveled backing plate, flat washer, lock washer and nut (Fig.W). 10. Align the brace, then rque all mounting bolts the specifications at the botm of these instructions. 11. Trim the front radiar air deflecrs as shown, then reinstall (Fig.X). Fig.Y Fig.Z Fig.AA 12. If the vehicle is equipped with an ambient temperature sensor, reattach it the main receiver brace using the two provided zip ties (Fig.Y). 13. If your vehicle is equipped with an extra chrome trim on the front of the fascia, the five plastic tabs on the inside of the fascia (Fig.Z) need be removed. Replace the five plastic tabs with two plastic pop rivets. Proceed the next step for further instruction. 14. Start by drilling a ¼" hole through the fascia and front of the trim piece (Fig.AA,BB). Fig.BB ROADMASTER, INC. reserves the right make changes at any time without notice in material, specification and models or discontinue models.

15. Now, attach the trim piece the fascia with the plastic pop rivets (Fig.CC). 16. Next, remove the plastic tabs; either cut or grind them off. 17. Once the trimming is done, reinstall the fascia, reversing step 1, with the exception of replacing the bumper core and the parts removed in step 4. 18. Install the front braces by inserting them in the front of the receivers and securing them in place with 5/8 draw pins and 1/8 spring pins (Fig.DD). 19. Mount the w bar according the w bar manufacturer s instructions. Install the 8 safety cables under the main receivers with the quick links provided. Attach the other end the w vehicle's safety cables and w bar.
