Installing a brush guard

Not being a smart ass, that's really all there is. The guard should use the tow hook bolt hole and one on the bottom of the frame.

Depending on how your lower valence came from the factory, you may need to punch out the tow hook holes if your truck didn't come with them. Took some pics, I think mine's a Hunter, but they should be similar. Hope these help. You dont need to remove the tow hooks mine are still there.

There are three white plugs on the bottom which hold the grille in so make sure you pull back so that the whole grille comes out perpendicular to the bumper.

There are two long prongs on the top of the grille that will snap off if you take it off up or down. Here's one side with the white plug on the bottom and the long prong on the top.

Here's the other side. This is what the car looks like afterwards. I then taped off the bumper and the lights and put on the templates. The templates seem to have been reduced to a smaller size since I found the instructions on the internet.

More on this later. Once you look behind the top of the bumper you will see a bumper support bracket of sorts and it will have two of the black expansion plugs in it. Take those out since it will make the installation much easier once you loosen those up. I put in a bolt from the bottom and pushed up after the hole in the bumper was drilled. Another picture of the plugs removed from the bumper support bracket. Right brushguard support bracket installed. You have to take off the bolt on the right and the cap on the left bottom of brush guard bracket to put it on.

Once installed just tighten these two bolts along with the bolt provided on the top. Top view showing radiator bracket in front of brush guard bracket. Installed right side bracket. Installed left hand bracket. This was very much like installing the right one except the mounting holes were in different places.

After the two brackets were set I placed the brushguard on top of the bumper and noticed that the template was not the correct size. I then proceeded by using a pencil and marking out the holes on the bracket onto the paper. Position the outer mounting tabs so they sit evenly side-to-side on the bumper. The small washer goes on top of the bumper and mounting tab, while the larger washer and nut go on the bottom.

Tighten the other bolts on the brush guard. Reinstall the winch. Not keen on drilling holes into your Argo? Our service department can install a brush guard for you.
