1999 Dodge Durango/Dakota

The plastic rock guard and bumper molding need to be removed and half inch holes need to be drilled to install the baseplate. The back side of the bumper molding needs to be trimmed for the cross tube.

*The dimensional variations between otherwise identical cars can be considerable. While location and size of the holes in the baseplate were designed to allow for easy installation, it may be necessary to a file a hole slightly to allow a bolt to clear.

  1. Remove the plastic pine tree clips holding the plastic rock guard. Pull the plastic piece out and set aside. Locate the two Hex bolts on the outside of the frame holding the bumper bracket to the frame and remove (18mm wrench). Do this on both sides.

  2. Open the hood of vehicle and removes the four bolts of the bumper bracket (18mm wrench). Pull the main bumper off and set aside.

  3. Remove the nuts (18mm wrench) in the frame of the inner bumper brackets and place the appropriate drivers and passengers Side Plate (items 2 and 3) over bolts. Use Loctite on each nut and reinstall.

  4. Use the 1/2" bolts, washers and nuts, bolt the main weldment (Item 1) to the side plates (Items 2 and 3). Use Loctite on the each bolt and torque according to the torque chart in the General Instruction Sheet.

  5. The three vertical grill pieces need to be trimmed from the back side to allow for the tube of the main weldment. Approximately 1/2 inch off of each one.

  6. Replace the bumper and rock guard.

  7. Install the tow bar and safety cables according to the instructions included in their packages. Do not substitute other devices if the tow bar pin and clip are lost.

Note: The two (2) 1/2" rods extending out from the baseplate can be used for round electrical connectors.
