INSTALL PREPARATION:
1.

Park vehicle on a level surface and set the

emergency brake. You will want to wear eye

protection beyond this point in time.

If your Wrangler is a Rubicon edition or it

is equipped with rocker protection or steps,

they will now need to be removed. Factory

installed rocker protection is held on by:
2-DR: four (4) nuts in the pinch weld and two

(2) bolts that go into the bottom of the tub.

4-DR: six (6) nuts in the pinch weld and

three (3) bolts that go into the bottom of

the tub.

Using a ¼” drive, 10mm socket and 13mm

socket remove the hardware that fastens the

rocker protection to the Jeep. Do not discard

the hardware as you will need it to reinstall

the rockers. Remove the factory rocker

protection from the Jeep by gently pulling it

away from the tub. See figure 1, 2 and 3

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
As noted in the introduction, it is recommended

to pre-install the Rocker Knockers™ as bare,

un-painted parts in order to check fitment and

perform any minor modifications needed without

damaging the paint or powder coat. It is also

recommended to do the pre-installation without

the removable skid plates installed. They may

be installed later, after painting, before final

installation of the Rocker Knockers™. Note that

the following photos and instructions pertain

specifically to installation on a 4-door JK,

however installation on a 2-door is similar, with

only minor differences that become apparent

during the process.
1.

If your Jeep has an automatic transmission,

starting with the drivers side, remove the OE

bolt that attaches the transmission skid plate

crossmember to the bottom of the frame rail.

Do not remove the bolt on the other side of

this crossmember or the crossmember itself.

If your jeep has a manual transmission, this

skid/crossmember is not present, however

the threaded holes in the frame rail for it are.
