right there in stole a truck itch on my Tacoma this is the extended cab with a long bed anyway so basically what's telling us right now is we have to take off the rear bumper before we can put on the receiver hitch these four guys we need to 7/8 the 3/4 the 18 and the 19 millimeter there's two 18 millimeter bolts down this end there's one here than one on the inside and there's a 2 here already took this one out and there's one eye here and this just pops down all right now the bumpers off got the two license plate lights there all right instructions say they have to take off these bumper brackets right here there's two bolts on either side there's one right here and there's one inside of there get a better view right there anyway so take both of those off on either side and then it says we can mount the hitch right up underneath there through these holes all right here's all the hardware for the the mount and it's very easy to tell which ones you need because there's only two of the brackets that go through the holes this is for the next step and then you use two of these there's six of the same one because who's two of these and then the two larger bolts and they will end up going through this little hole right down at the bottom all right you can see the bolt this square washer the round washer and then the nut and I'm going to tighten all that down later once I get all these holes lined up into place and I lifted this up I align because this is the lowest point and the other narrowest point in the whole back into the frame so I lined you to the edges up with that just kind of like pushed into place and because it was so tight it just held it up held it up by itself so I didn't even need another set of hands so we're gonna stick the rubber bracket back in that bolt is already in place so I'm just gonna slide this into there just like that and this little guy I had to bend just a little bit so that it would fit between the thickness of the metal here and here I'm so I had to bend that out just a tiny bit and then much into place leaving that whole open inside the groove so I made a little mistake make sure you put the new hardware in there you see the bolt locking nut and then the washer and then inside this other hole I have the same bolt locking that in washer this guy on this side luckily I'm keeping everything loose right now right position everything and then once everything is positioned then I'll tighten it down all the way okay so we're just finishing up mounting the bumper I have one of the little spacers right here in between just because the receiver itself pushes the bumper brackets out the thickness of the metal and so having this right here compensates unless the bumper bracket screw back into the bumper again anyway so now everything is still loose like none of this stuff is tightened down none of the bolts at all and now that I have everything back into place all the bolts in now I can go in and tighten them individually now that everything's matched up together
