4.

Install bracket #966 as indicated in Figure 5-69b.

The bracket is mounted between the OEM

bumper and the OEM bumper mount.

5.

Place a bolt (13) with a washer (30) through the appropriate hole in the external A-pillar

panel #255.

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 #966.

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

Step 5-15.

7.

Install bolts securing the overlap to the OEM hinge mount points on the A-pillar as shown in

Figure 5-70.

8.

All fasteners that have been installed to this point should still be loose to allow positioning of

the panel.

Press the lower section of the A-pillar overlap firmly against the cab so that it is

inboard and down as far as possible against the lower edge of the door frame (reference

Figure 5-70).

Hold in this position and drill two 0.32-in.-diameter holes through the lower

door frame.

Install bolts, washers (12, 33, 37), and tighten.
