Check that you have all of the parts and hardware shown before starting.
Remove any factory steps (held on with a few 12 or 13mm bolts underneath). Each slider comes as one main piece with the front and rear mounting legs attached. Use a floor jack or a helper to lift it into place.

Remove the one bolt holding the forward-most parking brake cable bracket to the frame with a 12mm socket and let it hang. The slider leg slips behind it and the bracket bolts back on over the top.

If you have our gas tank skid, loosen and lower the front driver side mounting bracket so the rear slider leg can slip between it and the frame.

Lift the slider tight to the frame. The cutout in the rear leg wraps around the factory fuel tank strap, and the parking brake cable location also helps locate it front to rear.

Start the provided M8 flange bolts in the four factory threaded holes on the rear leg: the front hole on the bottom, the forward hole on the side, the slotted hole behind the fuel tank strap, and the parking brake location. Leave them slightly loose (13mm).

Install bolts in the two forward-most holes on the front mounting plate. On the passenger side, note which hole is threaded.

Use the vertical slots to level the slider parallel to the bottom of the rocker, then tighten all factory-hole bolts with a 13mm socket.

At each rear slotted hole in each leg (four per side), center punch and drill up to 5/16 in., starting with a 1/8 in. pilot. A right angle drill or step bit helps in the tight space.

Drive the provided 3/8 in. thread-cutting bolts with a 9/16 in. socket (an extension and swivel help). Finish tightening with a wrench so you do not strip the new threads.

Mount each gusset to the back side of the leg tab, install self-tappers in the two upper slots, and install two 3/8 in. x 1 in. bolts with washers and serrated flange nuts in the lower holes (inside out). Tighten with 9/16 in.

Install the rear gusset the same way. Route the parking brake cable between the leg and gusset; if it rubs, loosen the frame bolt, rotate the bracket for clearance and retighten.

Repeat on the passenger side. If you bought logo tread plates, install them with 1/4 in. button head hardware and the adhesive rubber pads.
