Note: The Wrangler body armor has been designed to fit tightly to the contours of the vehicle. Instructions
must be followed to insure the correct placement and adhesion of this part. If surface is not cleaned
and prepped as stated in the instructions proper fitment will not take place. Do Not install if outside
temperature is below 65F. or over 100F. Allow part to sit overnight before driving.
Step2: Remove the (2) 10mm bolts used to secure the front fender to
to the lower rocker panel. (pic.2).

Step1: Both sides of the vehicles lower rocker panel should be
cleaned to the door line with soap and water. Dry
surface with a clean cloth. When dry, rub area down with
alcohol wipes or a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol.
This will remove any remaining dirt and soap residue that
may contaminate the adhesive tape used to secure the
plastic armor. Allow to dry (pic.1).

Step3: Place rocker armor into position. DO NOT remove tape at this
time. Visually inspect the fit of the part to confirm that the
mounting holes are aligned. The front ,middle, and rear Allen
head bolts can be installed to confirm fitment. DO NOT tighten
at this time. Enlarge the holes of the armor if needed. (pic.3).
Step4: With the rocker armor removed from the vehicle peel back
protective covers at 45 deg. angles (pic.4). Pull back only 2"
of the protective cover from both ends of the plastic rocker
armor. DO NOT remove all the tape.

Step5: Place Rocker armor back onto vehicle being careful not to
make contact with the upper door seal until it has been
positioned correctly. A second person may be needed.
When the top of armor matches the panel break affix sections
of exposed tape to vehicle making sure that it is flat. Before
applying pressure to the exposed tape section. Double check
all hole aligment.

Step6: Using the supplied Allen head bolts, washers and nuts
attach the lower section of the plastic armor to the vehicle
except for the two center mounting holes. The Allen head
bolts can replace the factory bolts removed in step 2 for a
clean installation. DO NOT TIGHTEN BOLTS. (pic.5)
Step7: 2 plastic spacers are to be used behind the two center
mounting holes of each side of the Rocker Armor. The
spacers help to maintain an even pressure along rocker panel
for a smooth appearance of the Rocker Side Armor.

as shown (pic.6). Insert Allen head bolts with flat washer
through front of Rocker Armor and secure with flat washer
and hex nut. Secure but do not over tighten (pic.7)
