can catch and distort the metal.
5. (Optional) Use the die grinder to elongate
the holes in the pinch weld about 1/16”
toward the front and back. The holes should
now have the appearance of an oval. This
step will make it easier to install and remove
the Rocker Knockers.
6. If you are installing Rocker Knockers with
Sliders, remove the dimpled panel at this
time and set aside. For this you will need
your 7/16” socket, 3” extension and 1/4” drive
ratchet, as well as a 5/32” hex key. As an
optional step to achieve a more unique look,
you may paint or powder-coat these dimpled
panels, in order to provide some additional
color to your Jeep.
7. Have a helper assist you for the following
steps. Hold the Rocker Knocker up to the
rocker area of the Jeep, and carefully align
the six (6) mounting studs of the Rocker
Knocker with the six holes in the pinch weld
seam. Slide the Rocker Knocker into place,
with the studs protruding through the holes in
the pinch weld flange.

8. With your helper applying pressure to the
Rocker Knocker against the side of the Jeep,
use a fine-tip felt marker to trace the six
(6) elongated holes in the Rocker Knocker
mounting flange under the Jeep.

9. (Optional) For additional tire clearance at
both ends of the Rocker Knocker, you may
trim a small corner of the Jeep’s body tub at
either end of the Rocker Knocker. With the
Rocker Knocker installed (it is temporarily
installed at this time, it will be removed again
before final installation), use a fine-tip felt
marker to trace an angled cut mark on the
corner of the body tub as shown.
FIGURE 12
Align the cut mark with the angle of the end
of the Rocker Knocker tube. After the Rocker
Knocker is removed (in later steps), trim the
corner with a pneumatic cut-off wheel, body
saw or reciprocating saw.
