Step by Step Instructions: 1. Remove the factory bumper and tire carrier. On TJ models, remove the license plate and license plate mount from body. Save the mounting hardware. 2. Remove the tire carrier, bumper, and hardware from boxes. 3. On 97-01 TJ models, some of the rear 8 frame holes may not be in the frame. These holes are the inner four, two on each side of vehicle. They must be drilled to 7/16”. Use figure 2 to locate these holes. NOTE: Some TJ model vehicles may not have all 8 mounting locations on the rear frame area. If not all 8 locations are in the frame, measure the supplied bumper mounting points and match these measurements on the frame. Drill the frame holes to 7/16”. See Figure 1.
