PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
2. Starting at the driver side-front of the vehicle, remove the sealing tape covering the factory
holes on the side of the inner panel, (Figure 1A, 1B, 1C). Partially thread (1) 12mm Plastic
Retainer onto the threaded end of (1) 12mm Bolt and Nut Plate, (Figure 2A). Insert the Bolt
and Nut Plate into the factory oval hole. Continue to thread the Plastic Retainer down the Bolt
and Nut Plate until it is flush against the sheet metal, (Figure 2B). NOTE: When properly
installed, the Plastic Retainer is designed to prevent the Bolt and Nut Plate from falling into the
body cavity during installation.
3. Select the driver side front Mounting Bracket and partially hang it from the Bolt and Nut Plate
with (1) 12mm Flat Washer, (1) 12mm Lock Washer and (1) 12mm Hex Nut. Do not tighten
hardware at this time. Line up the remaining hole in the Mounting Bracket with the hole in the
inner body panel. Rotate the Bolt and Nut Plate until the threaded end (Nut) lines up with the
hole in the Mounting Bracket. Secure with (1) 10mm x 35mm Hex Bolt, (1) 10mm Lock Washer
and (1) 10mm Flat Washer, (Figures 3A, 3B, 3C). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this
time.
4. Repeat Steps 2 - 3 for the center and rear Mounting Bracket installation. NOTE: The rear
Mounting Brackets, (Figure 3C), are slightly different from the front and center brackets, (see
illustration above-note bolt pattern on mounting plate).
5. Once all of the driver side Brackets have been installed, carefully position the driver Sidebar
onto the (3) Mounting Brackets. Attach the Sidebar to the cradles on the Mounting Brackets
with the included (6) 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolts, (6) 8mm Lock Washers, and (6) 8mm Flat
