Figure 2 |

Bend lower tabs upwards so they are flush with the bottom of the
body. |

Figure 3 |
|
Position rockers between flares, making sure the lower portion of
the rockers are up tight against the bottom of the body. Before drilling,
move all wiring and carpeting out of the way. |

Figure 4 |

Using a 5/16" drill bit, drill upwards through the body. Using
the nylon spacers, you will now need to install them between the bottom
of the body and the rocker panel. The front nylon spacer with
the angle will face the center of the Jeep. Install the bolts, leaving
the front bolt out for the time being. Insert a screwdriver in the
front hole to help hold the front spacer in place. Now snug the bolts
to the body. The 5/16" nut and 3/8" fender washers go inside the
Jeep. No washers will be used under the rockers. Make sure
the Rocker Guard is tight against the body of the Jeep. Now drill
all the holes on the outside of the Rocker Guard with a 1/4" drill bit. |

Figure 5 |
|
The hole under the letters "EP" will need to be drilled all the
way through the inside panel of the Jeep. Using a 1 1/4" hole saw,
go on the inside of the Jeep and hole saw the hole you just drilled from
the outside through. Do not cut the outer panel! Drill through
the inside panel only! |

Now hole saw the second hole 1 1/4" forward and 1" down. The
hole will be used for the lower bolt coming up through the bottom of the
body. |

Figure 7 |

Using a socket and a piece of tape, tape the 3/8 washer and nut
to the socket and install through the first sawed hole for the side 1/4"
cap screw. Do the same for the front sawed hole. Using the
5/16" bolt and 3/8" washer, you will need to use a swivel socket with this
hole. You will need to be very patient with starting these two bolts
through these holes. You might need a magnet if you drop any of the
hardware into the body. The rest of the 1/4" cap screws will use
1/4" fender washers for the inside of the body. Now go back and tighten
all the bolts and install the 1 1/4" hole plugs inside the body. |
