PROCEDURE:
1. Remove contents from box and check for damage. Verify all parts are present. Read and
understand instructions before beginning.
2. Start the installation under the driver side of the vehicle. Locate the front (3) factory studs
along the inner side of the body panel, (Figure 1). NOTE: Chase threads on the studs first
before installing Brackets to remove paint buildup.
3. Select (1) Driver Front Mounting Bracket. NOTE: All (3) Brackets are universal and will fit left
side. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the (3) factory studs with (3) M8 Flat Washers and (3) M8
Nylon Lock Nuts, (Figure 2). Leave brackets loose at this time.
4. Repeat Steps 2&3 to install the Universal Brackets in the center and rear mounting locations
along the body panel, (Figures 3 & 4).
5. Select the Driver Side Bar. Slip (2) M10X1.5-75 Carriage Bolts into each 2-Hole Support
Brackets ,and insert the 2-Hole support bracket into the Driver Side Bar.(Fig 5). Carefully
position the Bar onto the (3) Mounting Brackets. IMPORTANT: Do not slide the Bar on the
Brackets or damage to the finish may result. Attach the Driver Side Bar to the Mounting
Brackets with (2) M10 Hex Nuts,(2)M10 lock washers and (2)M10 flat washers, (Fig 6). Do not
tighten hardware.
6. Level and adjust the Bar properly and tighten all hardware. NOTE: Torque all M10 X1.5-75
Carriage Bolts to 22~25 Ib-ft. Don't over tighten,or the aluminum square bars will be
damaged by the brackets.
7. Repeat Step 2-6 for the other side installation.
8. Installation completed!!! (See Fig 7)
9. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.
Products have a high quality finish that must be cared for like any other exposed finish on the vehicle. Protect
the finish with a non-abrasive automotive wax, (e.g.Pure Carnauba ) on a regular basis. The use of any soap,
polish or wax that contains an abrasive is detrimental, as the compounds scratch the finish and open it to
corrosion.
