PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
2. From under the driver side front of the vehicle, remove the oval grommet located on the inside
of the rocker panel, (Figure 1). Insert (1) Offset Double Bolt Plate, (with threaded studs toward
the top), into the factory oval hole, (Figure 2).
3. Locate the driver side front Mounting Bracket. Hold the Double Bolt Plate from one side while
you position and attach the Mounting Bracket to the opposite side. Secure the Bolt Plate with
one 10mm Flat Washer, 10mm Lock Washer and 10mm Hex Nut. Proceed to install the rest of
the hardware to secure the Mounting Bracket to the Double Bolt Plate. (Figure 3). Do not
tighten hardware at this time.
4. Align the Mounting Bracket with holes in the pinch weld. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the
pinch weld using the included (2) 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolts, (4) 8mm Flat Washers, (2) 8mm
Lock Washers and (2) 8mm Hex Nuts. NOTE: Insert Bolt with Flat Washer from the outside-in.
Do not tighten hardware at this time.
5. Moving to the rear, use one of the (centered) Double Bolt Plates and hardware to install the
Rear Bracket. Repeat steps 2 – 4 for driver side rear Mounting Bracket.

end of the Bolt Plate, (without plastic retainer), into the large round hole and back out
the smaller round hole on the inside of the rocker panel. Continue to thread the Plastic
Retainer down the Bolt Plate until it is flush with the sheetmetal. Thread (1) Plastic
Retainer onto the remaining threaded end on the Bolt Plate, (Figure 6). IMPORTANT:
The Plastic Retainer is designed to prevent the Bolt Plate from falling into the body
cavity and to aid in mounting the Bracket.
6. Depending on model year, slots in rear Mounting Brackets may align with only one factory hole
along pinch weld, (Figure 4 & 7). If desired, installer may drill through Pinch Weld for second
Pinch Weld bolt, (included). IMPORTANT: Do not drill for second hole until the Sidebar has
been completely installed and adjusted to properly locate the Mounting Bracket on the vehicle.
Do not tighten hardware at this time.
7. Once the Mounting Brackets have been partially installed, carefully unpack and separate the
driver and passenger Sidebar. NOTE: Step pad typically goes toward front of vehicle to match
footwell. Position Sidebar onto Mounting Brackets using the included (2) 1/2” x 2” Hex Head
Bolts, (2) 1/2” Lock Washers, and (2) 1/2” Flat Washers, (Figure 4 & 7). Do not tighten
hardware.
8. Level and adjust the Sidebar, drill for second Pinch Weld Bolt if necessary, then tighten all
hardware at this time.
9. Repeat steps 2 – 8 for passenger Sidebar installation.
10. Do periodic inspections of the installation to make sure all hardware is secure and tight.
To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a
protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could
damage the finish.
For stainless steel: Aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs on the finish. Mild
soap may be used also to clean the Sidebar.
For gloss black finishes: Mild soap may be used to clean the Sidebar.
