Start the installation under the driver’s side of the vehicle. Locate the 4 plugs along the bottom edge of the body. Mounting Brackets will bolt to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th threaded mounting holes, (Figures 1—4). Remove the plastic plugs from each mounting location. Directly above each threaded insert is a top mounting location on the side of the body panel. Hold a Bracket up in place to help determine the correct mounting holes to use along the body. NOTE: Thread an 8mm Hex Bolt into the threaded inserts to clear paint as required.

Select (1) Mounting Bracket. Starting at the front of the driver/left side, bolt the Mounting Bracket to the factory threaded holes with (2) 8mm Hex Bolts, (2) 8mm Lock Washers, and (2) 8mm Flat Washers,

Repeat Steps 1 & 2 to install (2) Mounting Brackets on the remaining driver/left side mounting locations along the body panel.

Place the Sidebar on top of the Brackets. IMPORTANT: Do not slide, (front to back), the Sidebar on the Brackets or damage to the finish may result.

Attach the Sidebar to the Brackets with (6) 8mm Combo Bolts, (Figures 7—9).
