INSTALLATION INSTRUC

DEFENDER FULL LENGTH SIDE PLATES

Thank you for purchasing Poison Spyder

products for your Jeep. Installation is fairly simple

with the right tools and good mechanical abilities.

If you are not confident in your mechanical skills,

please seek the help of a professional to perform

the installation. Please read through these entire

instructions before proceeding with installation.
IMPORTANT: Completely install and remove

these items prior to painting or powder coating.

This will allow you to check for fitment or do any

clearancing or fitting ahead of time, to reduce

the chance of damage to the finish during final

installation. Poison Spyder Customs Inc. is not

responsible for costs for or damage to paint or

powder coat finish under any circumstances,

including paint or powder coat of incorrectly

shipped or defective parts.

PARTS LIST
Please check your packages immediately upon

arrival to ensure that everything listed is included,

Spyder at (951) 849-5911 as soon as possible.

Side Plate

(1) Nut Insert installation tool

TOOLS NEEDED

• 3/16” Hex key
• 1/2” End wrench or socket & ratchet
• Drill motor with 5/16” & 17/32” drill bits
• Optional: Pro nut-sert install tool
• Thread anti-seize compound

NOTE: The Nut-sert installation tool provided is

simple and inexpensive. It works but it can be

tedious to use, especially when installing a large

number of nut-serts. We highly recommend

purchasing, renting, or borrowing a professional

quality nut-sert installation tool, such as the

“Marson Giant Thread Setter 325-RN 34604”,

available from www.blindrivetsupply.com.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
NOTE: These instructions assume the Poison

Spyder DeFenders™ have already been

installed. If Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers™,

Ricochet Rockers™ or or other manufacturer’s

rocker armor is to be used, make sure it is

already installed as well..
1. Place Full Length Side Plate against the

side of the previously-installed DeFender™,

and loosely install seven (7) of the supplied

SS flat head cap screws, with nyloc nuts,

in the triangular forward section of the Side

Plate that overlaps the DeFender™. Leave

these fasteners barely snugged, so that the

position of the Side Plate may still be slightly

adjusted.
