PROCEDURE

REMOVE CONTENTS FROM THE BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.

Start the installation under the driver/left side of the vehicle. Locate the 4 plugs along the bottom edge of the body. Mounting Brackets will attach to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th pairs of threaded mounting holes, (Figures 1, 4 & 5). Remove the plastic plugs from the front mounting location, (Figure 2). 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 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, attach the Mounting Bracket to the factory threaded holes with (2) 8mm Hex Bolts, (2) 8mm Lock Washers, and (2) 8mm Flat Washers, (Figure 3). Do not tighten the hardware at this time.
Repeat Steps 1 & 2 to install (2) Mounting Brackets in the driver/left center and rear mounting locations along the body panel, (Figures 4 & 5).
Carefully unwrap and select (1) Running Board. Place the Running Board on top of the Brackets. Locate the channel at the bottom of the Running Board. Select (3) 6mm Double Bolt Plates, (Figure 6). Insert the Bolt Plates into the channels in the bottom of the Running Board closest to the Brackets, (Figure 7). Lift the Running Board and guide the studs down through the Brackets, (Figure 8).
Attach the Running Board to the Brackets with (6) 6mm Flat Washers, (6) 6mm Lock Washers, and (6) 6mm Hex Nuts, (Figures 8—10).
- NOTE: The Running Board is designed to fit close to the vehicle. It may be necessary to loosen the Bracket hardware slightly and tilt the Brackets downward to insert the Running Board between the Brackets and the body.
Level and adjust the Running Board and fully tighten all hardware.
Repeat Steps 1—6 to install the passenger/right Running Board.
Do periodic inspections of the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.

To protect your investment, Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could damage the finish. Mild soap may be used also to clean the Running Board.
