STEP ONE Lower the spare tire for access to winch mechanism and frame cross-member. Note that winch mechanism is mounted to the inside of the C-channel frame cross-member. Locate the stamped 5/8” x 7/8” oblong hole in the vertical side of the cross-member located between the left side of the winch mechanism and spare tire support bracket. STEP TWO Place the 3/8” x 1” hex head bolt through the 3/8” center hole in the U-bracket. Attach the U-bracket to the frame cross- member using the provided locknut and flat washer. Position U-racket as shown, with the open sides aligned vertically. STEP THREE Install the lock bar through the holes in both legs of the U-bracket, with the grooved end facing toward the left side frame rail. Place the crimp-ring retainer in the groove and crimp closed with pliers.

STEP FIVE The PVC lock bar cover/seal is designed to center and hold the lock firmly against the tapered surface of the lug hole. Hold lock inverted with the PVC cover/seal end up. Place lock over the end of the lock bar. Slide lock upward against the tapered surface of the lug hole and rotate to engage lock mechanism with the lock bar groove.
