14. Attach the permanent baseplate safety cables to the provided convenience link on the baseplate (gray arrow). The

photo above shows the recommended installation of the cables to frame of vehicle (white arrows). Additional options

may interfere with suggested mounting; in this case secure the cables to a solid piece of the frame as described in the

instructions included with the permanent baseplate safety cables. Be sure the safety cables do not rub against any

hoses or moving parts. Do this to both sides.

15. Reinstall fascia, guard, bolts, pushpins and screws. The installation of the baseplate is complete.

Install the tow bar and safety cables according to the instructions provided in their packages. When demonstrating this to

the customer, be sure to include all the contents and packages.

Do NOT substitute other devices if the tow bar pins and clips are misplaced.

12. Moving underneath the base plate, drill three remaining holes using a 13/32” drill bit. Insert a 3/8”-16 x 1 1/4”

bolt into the front hole (grey arrow). Use 3/8”-16 x 2 1/2” bolts for the other two holes. They all need 3/8” lock

washers and 3/8”-16 nut plate, tighten with Loctite Red. Do the same on both sides of the vehicle. NOTE: Due to

the compact space underneath the baseplate, drilling at an angle may be required.

13. On the passenger side before reinstalling the washer reservoir, using a hack sawblade cut off the top right

installation tab about 1 1/2’”x 1 1/2“. Be careful not to cut into reservoir. Reinstall the water tank and connect the

hoses and plug in electrical connections.

Be sure that ALL electrical connections

are plugged in properly and functioning

BEFORE installing the fascia.
