PARTS LIST:
PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. DRILLING MAY BE
REQUIRED. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.
2. Starting at the front of the driver side of the vehicle, remove the two small hex bolts and the
metal clips holding the bottom of the fender to the body, (Figure 1A). NOTE: Use a small flat
screwdriver to spread the clip apart for easy removal. Due to body panel misalignment from
the factory, it may be necessary to open these holes slightly with a 3/8" drill bit, (Figure 1B).
3. Select the driver side front Mounting Bracket. Line up the (2) holes in the pinch weld with the
holes in the front Mounting Bracket. Insert (2) 8mm x 30mm Hex Bolts with (2) 8mm x 24mm
OD x 2mm Large Flat Washers up from below and secure with (2) 8mm x 16mm OD x 1.6mm
Small Flat Washers, (to clear the bracket), (2) 8mm Lock Washers and (2) 8mm Hex Nuts,
(Figure 2). Do not tighten hardware.

4. Next, locate the round and square holes in the floor panel next to the body mount. Select (1)
12mm x 40mm x 10mm Nut and Bolt Plate and (1) 12mm Plastic Retainer. Thread the
Retainer part way onto the Nut and Bolt Plate, (Figure 3A). Insert the Nut and Bolt Plate into
the square hole in the floor, (Figure 3B). Line up the nut on the Nut and Bolt Plate with the
round hole. IMPORTANT: The Plastic Retainer is designed to prevent the Bolt Plate from
falling into the body cavity and to aid in mounting the Bracket. After inserting, thread the Plastic
Retainer down flush against the body panel. NOTE: For passenger side installation,
temporarily remove the ground strap if interfering with installation.
5. Select the driver side Top Bracket. Hold the Top Bracket in place over the Nut and Bolt Plate.
Secure the Bracket to the Nut and Bolt Plate with (1) 12mm Flat Washer, (1) 12mm Lock
Washer and (1) 12mm Hex Nut, (Figure 4). Rotate the Nut and Bolt Plate to line up the Nut
with the remaining hole. Insert (1) 10mm x 35mm Hex Bolt, (1) 10mm Lock Washer and (1)
10mm x 30mm OD Large Flat Washer into the Nut, (Figure 5). Do not tighten hardware.
6. Select (1) Support Strap. Bolt the round hole on the Support Strap to the backside of the tab
on the Top Bracket with (1) 10mm x 30mm Hex Bolt, (2) 10mm x 20mm x 2mm Small Flat
Washers, (1) 10mm Lock Washer and (1) 10mm Hex Nut, (Figure 6). Line up the slotted end
of the Support Bracket with the tab on the back of the Mounting Bracket with the Support Strap
on the forward facing side of the tab. Bolt the Strap to the tab with (1) 10mm x 30mm Hex Bolt,
(2) 10mm x 20mm x 2mm Small Flat Washers, (1) 10mm Lock Washer and (1) 10mm Hex Nut,
(Figure 6). Do not tighten hardware.
7. Move toward the rear of the vehicle and remove the tape covering the holes on the inner body
panel. Select (1) 12mm Bolt Plate, (Figure 7A). Insert the Bolt Plate into the large hole and
back out the smaller hole toward the rear, (Figure 7B). Thread (1) 12mm Plastic Retainer onto
the Bolt Plate to help hold it in place, (Figure 8).
8. Attach the driver side Rear Mounting Bracket to the Bolt Plate with the included (1) 12mm Flat
Washer, (1) 12mm Lock Washer and (1) 12mm Hex Nut, (Figure 9A). Insert (1) 10mm x
35mm Hex Bolt, (1) 10mm x 30mm OD Large Flat Washer with (1) 10mm Plastic Retainer into
the hole at the rear of the Mounting Bracket from the outside-in, (Figures 9B & 9C). NOTE:
The Plastic Retainer is intended to protect the outer painted surface of the body. Thread the
Plastic Retainer onto the Hex Bolt so that it is between the 10mm Large Flat Washer and the
body. Secure the Bracket with (1) 10mm Lock Washer, (1) 10mm x 30mm Large Flat Washer
and (1) 10mm Hex Nut. Do not tighten hardware at this time.
9. Verify that the correct Brackets are in the correct positions. NOTE: The front of the Bracket is
indicated by the angled side of the mounting plate, (Figure 10).
10. Attach the Sidebar to the Mounting Brackets using the included (2) 1/2” x 2” Hex Bolts, (2) 1/2”
Flat Washers, and (2) 1/2” Lock Washers, (Figure 11). Do not tighten hardware at this time.
11. Align the Sidebar and adjust as required. Once properly aligned, tighten all hardware.
12. Repeat Steps 2 - 11 for passenger Sidebar installation. NOTE: Once passenger side
installation is completed, reinstall the ground strap next to the mounting holes for the front
Mounting Bracket as removed in Step 4.
13. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that 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.
