STEP SLIDER INSTALLATION
1. Remove the stock rocker guard if equipped.
2. Move the slider into position on the Jeep. a. You may want some help so that you can support the weight of the slider
3. Make sure the slider is in the position desired.
4. When the slider is in the desired position, carefully mark the 6 holes on the side of the
Jeep that will be required for mounting the slider.
a. **It is extremely important these holes are marked precisely to insure the
slider will fit properly once the nutserts have been installed
b. Double check to make sure the top side of the slider is at flat 90 degree angle
5. Remove the slider and drill a 7/16” pilot hole in the marked locations.
6. From the center of the pilot hole, step up the hole size using a 17/32” bit to create a
finish hole that will be used to install the nutserts.
7. Install 6 nutserts per side in the holes that were just drilled into the body of the Jeep. a. We suggest using a crimping tool to optimize the integrity of the nutserts to
support the slider.
b. If no crimping tool is available, follow these instructions.
i. Install by using a 5/16’’x1.125’’ minimum length bolt with a 3/8’’ nut
ii. Put a small amount of grease on the bolt to reduce friction
iii. Hold the nut steady with an end wrench so the flange of the insert is flush
against the body panel
iv. Tighten the bolt against the nut to crimp the nutsert into place
v. If the nutsert is rotating, place a star-lock washer between the 3/8’’ nut
and nutsert
vi. Once the nutsert is crimped into place completely back out the bolt
vii. If the nutsert ever breaks loose and spins, repeat the process and crimp it
tighter to prevent spinning
(Nutserts that have been installed correctly)
Installation Instruction RSEI 107
8. Lift the slider back into position and attach it to the Jeep using the 5/16” button head
bolts and 5/16” washers.
a. You will be using 6 bolts/washers per side b. Apply a small amount of anti-seize to the threads of each bolt upon installation
9. On the inside of Jeep remove the necessary plastic side panels and pull back the carpet
along the door sides of the Jeep to expose the bottom tub.
10. From the bottom of the Jeep drill a 7/32” pilot hole up into the tub at the indicated holes
on the bottom of the slider to attach the 3.5” anchoring bolts.
a. You will be using 2 bolts, 4 washers, and 2 nuts per side
11. From the center of the pilot hole, step up the hole size using a ½” bit to create a finish
hole that will be used to install the 3.5” anchoring bolts.
12. Install the 3.5” bolts through the bottom of the slider into the tub of the Jeep putting a
7/16” washer on the outside and inside of the Jeep with a 7/16” nut on the Jeep’s inside.
13. Double check all bolts to verify components and hardware of secured correctly and
securely to the Jeep.
***Please note: Expect some variance in parts that may require you to adjust the
tension of bolts to make parts fit correctly and properly. Once all parts are installed,
we suggest then fully tightening all bolts again to fit securely***

WIRING HARNESS INSTALL
**Note: The same harness is used for the JK 4-door version **
The additional door sensors are NOT used for the 2-door version
Step Slider Wiring Diagram
Driver Side Wire Color Passenger Side Wire Color Front Door Sensor Orange/Yellow Front Door Sensor Green/Gray Driver LED Light Brown/Tan Passenger LED Light Pink/Tan Driver Actuator Red/Black Passenger Actuator Red/Black
**WARNING**
REMOVE FUSE FROM WIRING HARNESS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION! CONNECTING THE HARNESS TO THE POWER SOURCE WITH THE FUSE ATTACHED WILL SHORT OUT THE WIRING HARNESS
NEVER ALLOW THE DOOR SENSOR TO COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE ACTUATING MAGNET. THIS WILL DESTROY THE SENSOR MAKING IT UNUSABLE
1. Remove the “B” pillar covers on both driver and passenger and driver sides.
2. Roll the carpet back underneath the rear seat to expose the floorboards.
3. Position the control box under the passenger seat. a. It’s recommended that you mount the control box, but it’s not required b. Be sure the control box is out of sight and in a secure location so it will not come
into contact with anything or be kicked by a rear seat passenger
4. Plug the harness into the control box and lay the harness wire into position in the Jeep
starting on the passenger side.
a. You will want to divide the harness between the driver and passenger side to get
an idea of how you want to divide and conceal the harness under the carpet
Installation Instruction RSEI 107
5. Once the harness is positioned in its proposed layout you will need to gain access to the
slider outside the Jeep to power the slider.
6. Starting on the passenger side; locate the drain plug and drill a small hole into it to
allow you to run the actuator wire to the slider.
a. Once the actuator is run to the slider you can put some silicon sealant around
the drilled hole to prevent any elements from entering, but it’s not required
7. Route the actuator wire around the backside of the slider and plug the red/black
connector into the slider.
a. Actuator wire must be wired around the backside of slider so it’s protected from
the elements and will not be severed off during off-road activity
b. Secure wires to minimize slack so they are protected. We recommend zip ties c. *Optional: The pink/tan wire is used if LED light package is being installed
8. Inside the Jeep route the door sensor wire along the “B” pillar of passenger doorframe;
and using a sticky pad, mount the sensor underneath the door latch.
a. Connect the green/grey wire to door sensor b. Place a small piece of electrical tape on sensor wire to secure (see below)
9. While moving to the driver side of the vehicle, position the harness so it can neatly be
hidden under the Jeep carpet upon installation completion.
10. On the driver side, drill a hole down into the tub from inside the Jeep to allow the
actuator wire to be connected to the driver side slider.
a. Drill this hole near the slider’s power plug access to avoid any slack in the
actuator wire and for the wires to avoid the muffler piping
b. Route the actuator wire around the backside of the slider so it’s protected from
the elements and will not be severed off during off-road activity
c. Once the actuator is connected using the red/black wire to the slider you can put
some silicon sealant around the drilled hole to prevent any elements from entering, but it’s not required
d. Secure wires to minimize slack so they are protected. We recommend zip ties e. Optional: The pink/brown wire is used if LED light package is being installed
11. Continue to route the harness wires along the lower doorframe on the tub; and just like
performed on the passenger side route the door sensor wire along the “B” pillar up the doorframe and using a sticky pad, mount the sensor below the door hatch.
a. Connect the orange/yellow wire to the door sensor b. Place a small piece of electrical tape on sensor wire to secure
**Make sure there is NO interference with the driver/passenger seat belt system* *
Installation Instruction RSEI 107
12. Remove the driver side dash panel and drill a 18mm hole in the panel to accommodate
the cutoff switch.
a. You can mount the cutoff switch in multiple positions. We recommend the dash
panel simply for the ease off access (see below)
13. Mount the ground from the plug to a metal surface behind the dash panel (see below).
14. Route the cutoff switch wires by running the POS+ and NEG- wires up the driver side
“A” pillar and plug them into the back of the cutoff switch.
15. Route the remaining POS+ and NEG- wires through the firewall on the driver’s side into
the engine compartment.
a. Make sure there is NO INTERFERENCE with any of the pedal linkage under the
dash
16. Route these wires along the firewall up to the battery compartment. a. Secure the wires using the harness attached to the firewall
17. Attach the NEG- to the NEG- side of the battery.
18. Attach the POS+ to the POS+ side of the battery.
19. Position the actuating magnets on the catch side of each door.
Installation Instruction RSEI 107
a. Make sure the actuating magnets are in perfect line with the sensors
b. **DO NOT allow the magnet and sensor to come into direct contact. This
will destroy the sensor making it unusable**
c. Once that proper placement is achieved we recommend using a permanent
marker to outline the magnet on the door.
20. Re-check all wires to make sure they are completely secure and free from coming into
contact with any moving part to prevent system damage due to a cut wire.
21. Reinstall all internal plastic and carpet pieces that were removed.
22. Make sure that all wires are tucked back and out of heavy traffic areas on the floor. a. Route them toward the furthest back area underneath the rear seat
23. Close all doors.
24. Insert the fuse into the holder on the POS+ side of the battery.
MAINTENANCE OF THE STEP SLIDER
Please note the slider is a mechanical mechanism that requires maintenance to operate
properly. To keep the slider operating at an optimal level it needs to be maintained with lubrication. We recommend using a Teflon based lubrication on the 7 indicated points below to keep the slider operating smoothly. A good rule of thumb is every time you change your engine oil. Heavy trail use will increase the frequency in lubrication.
Installation Instruction RSEI 107
TROUBLE SHOOTING/FRICTION POINTS
The slider is powered by the Jeep’s battery when engine is off and powered by the Jeep’s
engine while the vehicle is running. This will cause the slider to operate at different speeds depending on the Jeep engine is running or not.
If you feel the slider is sticking at certain points or the motor is stressing it may be
possible a friction point has developed during the install due to a variance in the slider or Jeep construction.
o To identify a friction point that may be stressing the slider motor, look at the
slider from outside the jeep and open and shut the Jeep door a couple of times and study the way the slider operates. Look at the slider for wear in the powder coating. The slider leaves our manufacturing facility with a perfect powder coating so if you see a spot on the slider that has scratches or the powder coating shows a blemish; that’s a good indication of a friction point. Using a file or other grinding tool to smooth over a small area on the slider can alleviate this problem.
