WARNING
Read pages 2 - 4 of this installation manual before beginning the
installation. Failure to do so could result in significant vehicle damage.
Check for obstructions prior to drilling. Failure to do so could result in
damaged fuel or brake lines, structural members, etc.

changes. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the installer
to prevent damage due to installation.
