Step 1: Remove the two fender flare extensions from the body. Extensions are held in place by three bolts located outside of the JeepĀ® and are assessable from underneath the flare extensions.


Flare extensions can be reinstalled, but holes will need to be drilled in side rocker armor after they have been installed.

Step 2: Clean mounting surface with a strong cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Avoid areas that the product will not be adhered to.

THIS MUST BE DONE FOR ADHESIVE TAPE TO PROPERLY STICK. FAILURE TO CLEAN COULD RESULT IN POOR ATTACHMENT AND FAILURE OF PRODUCT TO STAY ATTACHED.

Allow area to dry completely before attaching body armor.

Step 3: Test fit the Side Rocker Guards to the vehicle before removing the plastic backing film. This will aid in aligning the piece properly before securing with the two-sided 3M tape.

Step 4: Snap screw clips into the three tabs located under the rocker panels of the vehicle.


Step 5: Position armor onto lower side rocker panels. Make sure that it is evenly spaced before applying any pressure to armor. When satisfied with placement apply pressure to all areas to properly secure armor to vehicle. Secure bottom of rocker guards with hardware supplied.
