NOTE: The following instructions assume that a Poison
Spyder BFH Bumper has already been installed onto
the Jeep.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The Poison Spyder Customs JK BFH Disco Skid
comes as unpainted, bare steel. You will want to
either powder coat or paint the skid prior to install. If
painting yourself, careful preparation will make a big
difference in the quality and longevity of your paint
job, even using “rattle can” aerosol paints. Begin
by thoroughly cleaning the skid with solvent or de-
greaser, then make sure all residue is removed. Even
if you use cheap paint, try to use a good quality primer.
“Etching” primers are best to use on bare, unpainted
metal. Allow it to properly dry before painting, and
between paint coats.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park the Jeep on a flat, level surface and set the
parking brake.
2. Begin with the procedure to rotate the swaybar
disconnect motor up out of the way. Remove the bolt that
passes through the rubber motor indexer. Make sure there
is enough slack in the electrical harness to rotate the motor
(you may need to cut one of the retainer clips).
3. Rotate the motor upward (the motor assembly will
spin on the sway bar). There are several bolts which hold
the two halves of the motor housing together. Determine
which one most closely aligns with the bolt hole in the
rubber indexer, with the motor rotated as high as possible.
Remove this bolt from the motor housing.
4. InsertthesuppliedM10-1.5X110mm bolt through
the rubber indexer. Thread the supplied M10 jam nut onto
the bolt, followed by the M10 lockwasher. Then thread the
bolt into the motor housing where the bolt was removed
in step 3. Tighten the jam nut against the motor housing.
