14. Remove the “Crash Bar”. Use a torch, plasma

cutter, pneumatic or electric cutoff wheel, reciprocating

saw, or the cutting device of your choice. At each end of

the Crash Bar there is a vertical bracket that attaches it to

each frame rail. Cut these brackets off as close as possible

where they meet the frame rail. Be careful not to cut INTO

the frame rail.

15. Measure 2” back, along the frame rail, from the front

edge of the OE bumper mounting bracket. Use a square

and/or straight edge to mark a straight, perpendicular cut

line at this 2” measurement.

16. Use a reciprocating saw or other suitable cutting

device to cut the frame rails off, along the cut line marked

in the previous step.

17. Use a grinder to de-burr the cut edges and smooth

down the remnants of the crash bar brackets. It will be

important to get the outboard surfaces of the frame rails

fairly smooth for proper ﬁtment of the BFH bumper.

18. Apply primer and paint to the bare metal in the

areas that were cut and grinded, including the cut edges

of the frame rails. Properly coating these areas at this time

will help to prevent rust in the future.

19. Remove the grille by opening the hood and

removing the six Phillips head screws along the top of

the grille. Reach behind the grille and disconnect the

headlight and turn signal lamp sockets. Remove the grille

while carefully disengaging the snaps along the bottom

edge of the grille.

20. Place the BFH™ II Front Bumper on to the frame

rails. Visually align the rearward, elongated bumper

mounting slots with the existing holes in the frame rails.

Use a soft dead-blow hammer, if necessary, to make the

ﬁne adjustments. Use C-clamps or bar clamps to hold the

bumper tightly in place.
