22.
Align the bar with the vehicle into its correct
position, leaving an even gap between the top
of the bullbar and the bottom of the
flare/headlight/grill of about 10-20mm.
23.
Once you are happy with the alignment
tighten the nuts and bolts on each side.
24.
Tighten the adjustment stopped bolts so they
are firm against the front of the chassis.
25.
Using a 10mm drill bit, drill 10mm holes
through the bullbar mount into the mounting
bracket as seen below. This only drills through
the outer plate on the mounting face of the
mounting bracket.
26.
Install 10mm x 25mm high tensile bolts into
the pinning holes. Slide an 10mm nyloc nut
into the space between the 2 bracket plates
and align with the nut and tighten. This must
be done to prevent the bullbar moving when
winching.
27.
Plug the wires into the indicator, parker light
plug and fog lights. Test all lights and adjust
the position of the fog lights if required.
28.
Fit the under bar protection kit now with the
bolts supplied. The original plastic splash
guard can be secured to the rear of the new
bash plate.
29.
Trim the wheel arch mud guard liners back so
they are not visible from the front of the
vehicle.
30.
Check over all items removed during
installation.

IMPORTANT NOTES: It is important to inform
the customer that headlight adjustment may
also be required due to the change in ride
height. It is also important to inform the
customer that there will be a change in
vehicle handling characteristics. It is also
important to note that due to their nature fog
lights are required to provide a yellow light to
allow clear fog vision. For this reason
Dobinsons bullbars utilise a Halogen bulb.
Halogen bulbs generate a considerable
amount of heat to achieve the yellow colour
and this causes the air inside the fog light lens
to expand and contract. For this reason the
fog light assembly cannot be sealed and has a
small breather on the back. In some cases this
may cause condensation to form inside the
fog light. The customer may choose to seal
the lens of the fog light but must not seal the
rear breather.
