NOTE: Carefully read entire instructions thoroughly before  attempting to install this part. Drilling is required.      

Step 1: Identify the Driver and Passenger bars. The longer side goes towards the front of the vehicle.  Note: For ease of installation it is recommended to have assistance during the install process. 

Step2: Position the bar up against the vehicle frame. Maintain a minimum of ½ inch between the bottom of  the body and the top of the bar. (Figure A) Position the bar making sure it is parallel with the vehicle  frame while also making sure its parallel with the vehicle body. (Figure B) 

Step 3: Once you have located the bar into position, hold the bar and mark the frame through the mounting  holes located on the bar brackets.(Figure C) Set the bar to the side. Center punch the marked holes  and drill a 5/16” hole in the frame at each marked location..  

Caution: Before drilling be sure to check for any hazards or obstructions. 

Step 4 : Position the bar back on the vehicle against the frame lining it up with the holes that you just drilled.  Attach the bar to the frame using the supplied self-tapping bolts. Repeat these steps to install bar on  other side of the vehicle. Note: On the later model vehicles you will have some bolts that are not  used. Installation is now complete.
