BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The JK Brawler Lite Skid is shipped un-painted.
Before you paint or powder coat, perform the entire
installation of the product to ensure that it ts without
risking damage to your paint or powder coat nish.
Poison Spyder Customs is not responsible for paint or
powder coat costs in the event you damage the nish
during installation, or that the parts are incorrect or
defective.
You will want to paint or powder-coat these components
prior to FINAL installation. If painting them yourself,
we recommend starting with a quality etching primer
and allowing sufcient cure/dry time between coats
and before you apply color. Quality spray-can paints
are ne, however be sure to thoroughly paint all of the
inside corners and hard-to-reach areas of the bumper.
A little extra time and attention to detail on your
preparation and paint process will pay off in longer-
lasting good looks and rust prevention.
The following installation instructions assume that the
customer already has a Brawler Lite or front bumper,
and that the OE bumper or the Brawler Lite bumper
has already been removed from the Jeep. See the
instructions that came with your Brawler Lite front
bumper for details on that procedure.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the emergency
brake. You will want to wear eye protection beyond this
point. It is assumed the stock bumper has already been
removed, and that the Brawler Lite bumper installation is
already in progress (The bumper shuold not be mounted on
to the Jeep yet). Perform the following steps for installing
the Skid Plate, within the bumper installation procedure
where noted in the instructions for the bumper.
2. Bolt the Skid Plate to the bottom of the Brawler Lite
Front Bumper, using the nine (9) provided 3/8-16 X 1 Gr8
Hex Head Cap Screws through the holes in the mounting
flange for each piece, fastened with the provided 3/8 Gr8
Flat Washers and 3/8-16 Gr8 Nylon Insert Lock Nuts.
These holes will align when the two pieces are properly
mated together. Note that the bolts at the front-outermost
corners on each side may interfere with the Jeep’s
bumper mount flanges. This is due to some year-to-year
manufacturing variances in Jeep models. If yours does not
fit properly during test fitting, simply pull the bumper/skid,
remove the two front-outer bolts, and continue with the
installation. Deletion of these two bolts will be insignificant
