Owners manual

Attachment Tabs:

Due to the design of the removable tabs, the

RangeFinder II tow bar can not be used. Adapters,

except for the BX8833 and the BX88151, can not

be used with this baseplate.

Instructions:

The front fascia and horn bracket are

removed and reinstalled during the baseplate

installation. Drilling is required. Trimming of

the air dam and fascia is required. The bumper

bracket webbing is removed.

The dimensional variations between otherwise

identical vehicles can be considerable.

While the baseplate was designed for easy

installation, it may be necessary to tailor the

baseplate slightly to compensate for auto

manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor

adjustments may include ﬁ ling a hole slightly,

bending electrical rods, and/ or bending end

plates.

The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is

recommended for this vehicle.

1. Using a 7MM socket, remove four metric bolts from

the top side of the fascia. Set the bolts aside to be

reinstalled later.

2. Using a 7MM socket, remove on metric bolt from

just forward of the front tire on the edge of the

wheel well cover. Set bolt aside to be reinstalled

later. Remove two pushpins from the same

location. Set pushpins aside to be reinstalled later.

Do this to both sides of the vehicle.

3. Remove four pushpins from the bottom edge of

the fascia, just forward of the front tire. Set the

pushpins aside to be reinstalled later. Do this

to both sides of the vehicle. Pull fascia’s upper

corners out to the side of the vehicle and straight

forward. Set the fascia aside to be reinstalled later.
