How to Install Poison Spyder BFH Front Bumper w/ Brawler Bar - Bare Steel on your Wrangler

Please read through these entire instructions before proceeding with installation. 

(1) RockBrawler BFH Bumper

The Poison Spyder Customs Front Stinger comes as un-painted, bare steel. You will want to either powder coat or paint the bumper 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 Stinger with solvent or degreaser, 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, un-painted metal. Allow it to properly dry before paitning, and between paint coats. 

1. Park the Jeep on a flat, level surface and set the parking brake.  

2. Remove existing front bumper. If it is still the OEM bumper and hardware, there are four bolts (two on the top and two on the bottom that hold the bumper in place). These will likely be Torx bolts, use a T55 Torx bit.  

3. Place the RockBrawler BFH Bumper on to the frame rails, in place of the bumper that was removed. Visually align the bumper mounting slots with the threaded holes in the frame rails. Take measurements to ensure that the bumper is installed square to the frame and grill. Use a soft dead-blow hammer, if necessary, to make fine adjustments.  

4. On CJ models, use a fine-tip felt marker to mark through the rearward winch mounting holes (closest to the grille) onto the crossmember underneath. Pull the bumper off and drill the two marks with a 1/2” drill. Later, when installing the winch, the two rearward bolts will sandwich the bumper between the crossmember and the winch. If not installing a winch, use two 3/8-16 X 1 Gr8 Hex Head Cap Screws with flat washers and lock nuts (not provided) to secure the bumper to the crossmember at these two locations.  

5. Use the original hardware to bolt the bumper to the frame rails. Torque to OE specifications.  

6. If installing a winch with Poison Spyder Winch Fairlead Mount, follow the instructions included with the Winch Fairlead Mount. 

Congratulations, you have installed your Poison Spyder Customs RockBrawler BFH front bumper!
