INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION. DRILLING IS REQUIRED. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.
1. Start the installation under the driver side of the vehicle. Locate the factory hole in the side of the inner body panel, (Figures
1 & 3). IMPORTANT: Hole may be covered with rubber plug, sealing tape and/or heavy undercoating. Remove excess
undercoating from all mounting locations so that Brackets will install flat against body panel and pinch weld.
2. Select (1) 8mm Bolt Plate and (1) 8mm Plastic Retainer, (Figure 2). Thread the Retainer part way onto the Bolt Plate. Insert
the Bolt Plate into the hole and tighten the Retainer against the body panel, (Figure 3). IMPORTANT: The Plastic Retainer
is designed to prevent the Bolt Plate from falling into the body panel and to aid in Bracket installation.
3. Select the driver/left front Mounting Bracket. Attach the Bracket to the Bolt Plate with (1) 8mm x 28mm Large Flat Washer,
(1) 8mm Lock Washer and (1) 8mm Hex Nut, (Figure 4). Leave hardware loose at this time.
4. Select the Driver/Left Support Bracket, (Figure 5). Attach the Support Bracket to the front of the Mounting Bracket with (1)
8mm x 25mm Hex Bolt, (2) 8mm x 16mm Small Flat Washers and (1) 8mm Nylon Lock Nut, (Figure 6). Line up the top of
the Support Bracket with the outside of the pinch weld. Leave hardware loose at this time.
5. Move to the driver side rear mounting location. Locate the factory hole in the bottom of the floor panel, (Figure 7). Repeat
Steps 1—3 to attach the driver/left rear Bracket to the 8mm Bolt Plate, (Figure 8).
6. Select (1) of the (5) identical Support Brackets, (Figure 9). Attach the Support Bracket to the back of the rear Mounting
Bracket with (1) 8mm x 25mm Hex Bolt, (2) 8mm x 16mm Small Flat Washers and (1) 8mm Nylon Lock Nut, (Figure 10).
Line up the top of the Support Bracket with the outside of the pinch weld. Leave hardware loose at this time.
7. Carefully unwrap the Running Boards. Place the short driver side Running Board on top of the (2) Brackets. Select (2) 6mm
Double Bolt Plates, (Figure 11). Locate the channels in the bottom of the Running Board, (Figure 12). Insert the Bolt Plates
into the channels closest to the Brackets. Lift the Running Board up and guide the studs down through the Brackets.
8. Attach the Running Board to the Brackets with (4) 6mm Flat Washers, (4) 6mm Lock Washers and (4) 6mm Hex Nuts,
(Figure 13). NOTE: The Running Board is designed to fit close to the vehicle. It may be necessary to loosen the Bracket
hardware and tilt the Brackets downward to insert the Running Board between the Brackets and the body. Do not tighten
hardware at this time.
9. Level and adjust the Running Board and tighten the Bracket to Bolt Plate hardware only. Remove the Running Board.
Adjust the Support Brackets as necessary to move the top of the Brackets up to touch the bend in the pinch weld. Mark the
location of the (2) slots in the Support Brackets onto the outside of the pinch weld, (Figure 14).
