Problems installing S8 bar behind grill

As I study the installation pictures further (I had to get the instructions online and blow them up to see the detail) I see that I must have the wrong brackets, they didn't include the wiring and instructions in the box either so it must have been a messed up shipping process...... I got these through the group buy with Freedom Motorsports but I think Baja handled the shipping.

I called last week and they are ground shipping the wiring harness and I won't get them until this coming Wednesday, now new brackets will delay my install even longer.....

These are the brackets that I have and the next picture is from the instructions and if you zoom in its fuzzy but it appears that the brackets are supposed to be much larger.

Haven't got around to doing mine yet but I noticed the instruction sheet does not show how the brackets are supposed to mount.

Ironhorse, thanks for the picture of the brackets. Is the bracket on the right actually 2 brackets wired tied together? I am wondering what the piece on the left side is for....

Van, I just emailed you. We will contact Baja Designs and make sure you are taken care of.

Both of them are 2 brackets zip tied together. Looks like Rick has you covered.
