STEP 1: Remove factory rails/guards if equipped.

STEP 2: Identify the passenger and driver side rails. (Fig A) The half moon cut-outs go towards the rear of the vehicle.

STEP 3: Insert two nut clips into body. (Fig B, C) One goes in the center and one in the front.



STEP 4: With some help hold the rock-slide up to the vehicle. Align the two slotted holes in the rockslider with the previously installed nut-clips. Loosely attach using the included 12 mm bolts and flat washers. (Fig D)

STEP 5: Now loosely install (6 per side) of the 6mm bolts with flat washers and ny-lock nuts. (Fig E) These mount through the holes in the pinch-weld of the body and the hole in the rock-slider. Two go in the front, middle and rear. Note: On some vehicles you may need to drill a hole in pinch weld area.


STEP 6: After you have installed all bolts loosely, hold slider parallel with the vehicle and proceed to tighten all of the hardware. Installation is now complete.(Fig F) use the same steps for the other side.
