2022-Current Toyota Tundra Front Recovery Points/Hybrid Bumper Installation Guide
Before the installation, remove the factory front lower valance.
It is held on with plastic tabs on the back side. It is accessible from underneath the vehicle without the need to remove the bumper cover.
Remove the 4 bolts and the L bracket that connect the bumper crash bar to the frame rails on each side.
Reinstall the 4 OEM bolts with our Front Recovery Points. The Recovery Points will replace the L brackets that were removed from the previous step.
Torque down the M10 bolts (the 2 smaller bolts) to 45 ft-lbs./61 Nm, and the M12 bolts (the 2 larger bolts) to 75 ft-lbs./101 Nm.
Repeat the process on both sides.
If you did NOT order our Tundra Hybrid Bumper, you can now trim the OEM plastic valance accordingly and reinstall it to finish the installation process.
If you did order the Hybrid Bumper, please proceed to the next steps.
This step is optional, for an increased angle pull rating of 12,000 lbs. when using a bridle. Bumper removal may be necessary.
Mark and drill two 15 mm holes on the crash bar, as shown in the picture.
Insert two M12 rivet nuts provided on each side of the crash bar, with a rivet nut tool.
Reinstall the recovery points with two extra provided M12-1.75x35 mm bolts on each side.
Torque them down to 75 ft-lbs./101 Nm.
Slide the NYTOP Hybrid Bumper onto the Recovery Points. Use the provided spacer plates if needed, to fine tune the fitment.
Install 2 of the provided M12-1.25x30 mm bolts with a washer on each side, as shown in the picture. Torque them down to 75 ft-lbs./101 Nm.
Enjoy the Recovery Points and the added protection!
