er service.

STEP to the door, using the provided M8-1.25 X 25MM BUT-

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DOOR HINGE STEP • JEEP WRANGLER JL/JT
Begin with the upper two screws leaving them untight-
ened until the two lower screws are installed. Once all
four screws are installed, tighten all four fasteners.
PIC 03: Tighten all fasteners.
STEP 4: ADJUST STEP PIVOT TENSION
Use a 5MM Hex Key or Driver Bit to adjust tension on
the step pivot bolts. Make sure tension is tight enough
to keep the step folded up into place when not in use,
but loose enough to allow for smooth, easy pivoting of
the step when needed. Periodically check and adjust
pivot tension as you use the step.
PIC 04: Adjust step pivot tension.
STEP 5: REPEAT PROCEDURE FOR REMAINING STEPS
Repeat the installation procedure for the opposite door,
and for the rear doors if you have purchased two kits to
do both sets of doors on 4-door Jeeps.
PIC 05: Installation is conplete.
Congratulations! Installation of the Body Armor 4X4 Door
Hinge Step for Jeep Wrangler JL/JT is now complete. Use

Step to open a cold beverage and celebrate a job well
done!
