2. Remove the factory plastic bumper. There will be (6) six bolts securing the bumper to the frame and two additional bolts that mount two tabs between the bumper and frame.

1. Begin by removing the spare tire as well as the stock tire mount. Keep the bolts, you will be re-using them.

3. If you have the factory reciever, you will also need to remove it.

** Lay out all the parts for the rear bumper/tire carrier combo. Make sure you have all the parts before beginning the install. **

4. Place the bumper so that it is laying face down. Securely mount the lights into the bumper using the mounting tabs located inside the bumper.

5. Included in the wiring kit is a wiring harness that will need to be plugged into each light.

JBC0773 - REV 4 08/22/18

6. Plug the wiring harness into each light, matching the colors (red to red, black to black). The harness is used to connect both lights to a common power source as well as the

ground.

7. Be sure that the wires are securely fastened. Tape excess wire together to keep it out of the way during the installation process. We recommend using waterproof shrink tubing on

the connections to seal them.

8. With some help slide the bumper onto the Jeep. Note: When sliding the bumper onto the Jeep, be sure you drape the excess wiring over the rear cross-member so that it doesn’t

get pinched between the frame and bumper.

9. When mounting the bumper up for fitment it may help if you use a floor jack to hold the bumper up.

JBC0773 - REV 4 08/22/18

12. Before marking or drilling any holes be sure that the bumper is properly aligned.

NOTE: Place two of the bolts (one on each side, used to mount the factory bumper) into their holes to help hold the bumper in its aligned position.

13. IMPORTANT!! This is a very critical step in ensuring that your tire carrier system stays 100% rattle free. When aligning the bumper be sure that the top of the bumper is aligned with the body of the Jeep. The bumper should NEVER be mounted crooked

to the body line. The side view should look like this picture.

14. When aligning the bumper it is a good idea to slide the carrier onto the the hinge pin and swing it into the closed position. When in the

closed position, from the side of the Jeep the carrier should look like the photo above. The carrier frame should lean slightly towards the front of

the Jeep as the arrow shows.

15. With the bumper aligned properly secure it into place and mark the (2) two holes. There will be (1) on each side of the frame that will need to be drilled (see next image

for detail.) With the bumper still aligned, lay under the Jeep toward the driver side and mark the location of the slotted hole on the underside.

Attach the door plate as shown with the bolts used to attach the stock carrier to the tailgate of your Jeep Wrangler. There should be eight (8) bolts total.

If you have a body lift, you will need to move one spacer for a 1” lift, and both if you have a 2” lift.
