I purchased the Performance Products Bull Bar to dress up the front a little.

Installation was pretty straight forward. Here are some quick and dirty instructions. If you would like to see a larger photo, just click the image.

From here on I will refer to the unit as simply BB

Here is the BB before the install. Even though it was cold out, I couldn't leave this awesome shiny chrome toy lay in my garage.	Besides the BB itself, here is the included hardware

First, remove the 4 mounting bolts holding the front tie downs. You will need a 17mm socket, and I recommend a 1/2" breaker bar for leverage.	You will also remove the tow hook on the passenger side. The tow hook will be relocated to the driver side.

Remove the front license plate if you have one	Take the bolts you removed from the driver side and mount the passenger side bracket. Note the orientation of the bracket. The two holes go towards the front. Just finger tighten for now.

Now mount the driver side bracket using the longer bolts from the passenger side. Note the bracket is between the tow hook and the frame. Again, finger tighten only.	Position the BB under the truck on something that won't scratch it.

Install the rear bolt through the BB and the passenger bracket. Use bolt/flat washer, insert through bull bar and bracket, then put a flat washer and lock washer on followed by the included 3/8 hex nut. Finger tighten only.	Install the rear bolt through the BB and the driver bracket. Use bolt/flat washer, insert through bull bar and bracket, then put a flat washer and lock washer on followed by the included 3/8 hex nut. Finger tighten only.

Raise the BB and insert one of the forward bolts through the BB/Bracket as before.	Repeat this until there are three bolts in each bracket. Still keep everything only finger tight.
