4. After drilling the side holes, Place the rocker panel against the side of the vehicle and use the 10mm
black button head bolts with flat washers, and standard nuts on the inside of the vehicle. Do not use the lock
washers yet as the rocker panel will be removed after marking the bottom holes. Hand tighten bolts evenly to
secure the rocker panel in position.
5. To mark the three bottom holes, stick a black marker through each hole and mark the vehicle making
sure the mark is aligned vertically with the hole. Remove the rocker panels after the three bottom holes are
marked. Use a center punch to mark each bottom hole so that from inside the vehicle, you can tell where the
hole will be located. Before drilling, pull carpeting back and remove anything that might get in the way of the
drill. Drill the three bottom holes to 7/16” .
6. Re-install the rocker panel by using the 10mm button head bolts with flat washers, lock washers, and
standard nuts for the side mounting holes. For the bottom three mounting holes, use the three hex head
bolts with washers, spacers and nylock nuts. The long bolt goes in the bottom center hole with the 45mm
spacer and the 2 medium bolts go in the front and rear bottom mounting holes with the 25mm spacer.
