JK2 SLIDER INSTALLATION

SL-2D-100-JK

Slider Installation

1. Remove the stock rocker guard if equipped.

2. Hold the slider temporarily into the position you would like it 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 and ensure it will not interfere with

front or rear wheel wells.

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)

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.
