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. Depending on model
year, slots in rear Mounting Brackets may align with only one factory hole along pinch weld,
(Figure 4). 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.
6. 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
