Description

Check that you have all of the parts shown before starting.

Step 3 - Tools Needed

Description

Jeep JK Crusader sliders. Tools: 5/16 and 17/32 drill bits, 11/16 and 9/16 wrenches, 1/2 socket or wrench, 3/16 allen socket, screwdrivers and an optional impact wrench and wiring tools. Hardware includes 36 nutserts with 3/4 button heads, twelve 1 1/4 button heads, nylon washers, anti-seize, the nutsert tool and four 2 inch LED lights.

Step 4 - Position Inner Panel

Description

With a friend, hold the inner panel against the tub. Keep about 1/8 inch between the slider and the door opening. Mark the two outer holes with a marker.

Step 5 - Drill Holes

Description

Pre-drill the two marked holes up to 1/2 inch, then use the 17/32 bit to open them to nutsert size. Be careful not to tear the sheet metal.

Step 6 - Install Nutserts

Description

Install the nutserts in those two holes with the nutsert tool, using a 1/2 socket and an 11/16 wrench. A little RTV on each nutsert helps prevent rust. Crush the nutsert fully at 40 foot pounds. An impact makes it faster.

Step 7 - Test Fit Inner Panel

Description

Temporarily install the inner panel with a 3/16 allen and the 3/4 stainless button heads. Use it as a template for the remaining holes, making sure it is flush to the body. Mark the holes or drill through, starting with the 5/16 bit.

Step 8 - Remove Pinch Seam Bolts

Description

Remove the inner panels. Use a 10 mm socket to remove the front two pinch seam bolts and loosen the two fender bolts inside the door frame.

Step 9 - Enlarge Holes

Description

Enlarge the holes with the 17/32 bit. In the front, pull the loosened fender panel toward you while drilling. You are drilling through two or three layers of sheet metal, so take your time, then spray the holes with paint to prevent rust.

Step 10 - Install Remaining Nutserts

Description

Using the same procedure, install all the remaining nutserts.

Step 11 - Tighten Fender Bolts

Description

Tighten the two lower fender bolts at the pinch seam and the bolts inside the door jamb. Put anti-seize on all 3/4 stainless button heads and loosely install all 18 bolts holding the inner panel, then tighten them.

Step 12 - Install Clip Nuts

Description

Tap the 6 clip nuts onto the inner panel outrigger mounts.

Step 13 - Remove Body Mount Bolts

Description

Use an 18 mm socket to remove the lower body mount bolts.

Step 14 - Install LED Lights

Description

Install the LED lights into the outer slider.

Step 15 - Run Wiring

Description

Run the wiring for the lights. We recommend exiting the wires to the front, and you can route them however you wish.

Step 16 - Install Outer Slider

Description

With help from a friend, slide the outer slider into place over the inner panel. Using a 3/16 allen, loosely install the 1 1/4 stainless button heads in the top holes.

Step 17 - Tighten All Bolts
