bumper and the OEM bumper mount.

panel #256. Place the spacer #960 on the bolt against the back side of panel #255. Set the
A-pillar panel in position against the side of the vehicle cab. The bushing #960 should pass
through the 30-mm hole drilled in the side of the cab (reference Section 2). The bolt should
pass through the corresponding hole in bracket #965. Secure the bolt with nut (38) and
washer (30).
6. Install bolts and washers (2, 27) that interface with the cowl armor corners (installed in
Section 5-12). Leave these bolts loose, as they must be removed and reinstalled in
7. Install the bolts securing the overlap to the OEM hinge mount points on the A-pillar as
shown in Figure 5-66.
8. All fasteners that have been installed to this point should still be loose to allow for
positioning of the panel. Press the lower section of the A-pillar overlap firmly against the
cab so that it is inboard and down it as far as possible against the lower edge of the door
frame (reference Figure 5-66). Hold in this position and drill two 5/16-in. clearance holes
through the lower door frame. Install bolts, washers (12, 33, 37), and tighten.
