1. Remove the old plastic decorative ornaments (factory steps). You can probably sell these to someone who has wrecked his or hers, unless you have similarly ‘modified’ yours.

2. Put tape along the body under the door, hold up the rock slider and mark the holes on the tape, then centre punch the holes to keep the drill bit in place when you start drilling.

3. Buy a brand new bit for this or make sure yours is extremely sharp. Let the drill do the work and make sure your drill is lined up perpendicular to the body, as the Jeeps rocker panel is thin metal. This will help insure your inserts have a flush fit into a straight body panel.

4. Remove the tape. We used a paint marker to cover up the fresh metal and slow down any rust.

5. Install the nut inserts along the body. Be patient. The tool has a hex hole, which we (I) managed to strip. We MacGyver’d a new tool by finding a similar (20-20 ¼) bolt and reusing the nut portion of the tool.

6. Mount the rock slider to your rocker using the supplied rubber gasket and body side bolts. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Then you will have to drill a couple holes up from the bottom of the rocker. The instructions say ‘Be sure to pull back the carpet before drilling’. Sure the carpet – so you can pull the wiring harness out of the way! Install the long through bolts, replace the carpet (and wiring harness), step back and admire your work.
